Ryotsu Kankichi as: Ochiai Fukushi

・Impressions when the role is decided
The first manga I read when I was a child was “Kochikame”. I love anime too

My heart is filled with the happiness of being able to breathe in the world!

“New Kochikame” is a nostalgic, yet very bright and energetic work.
It’s becoming!
I would be happy if everyone could feel warm through this work!
I would be happy if we could liven up the 50th anniversary of Kochikame with everyone!

Keiichi Nakagawa: Shota Aoi

・Impressions when the role is decided
To be honest, there were moments when I couldn’t hide my surprise, but I am very happy and honored.
It’s very difficult to play the characters in the anime that I watched when I was a child.
A miraculous time, with the cast as much as possible for everyone who sees it
I spent my time working on it.
I’m looking forward to seeing what that messy comedy will be like today
I’d like you to stay!
・Message to fans
The cast has finally been announced, and we are just waiting for the broadcast!
To all the fans of “Kochikame” who was watching the original, the anime at the time, do everything in your power.
It’s a work that you can enjoy!
We are looking forward to the broadcast as well! Let’s liven up together
Let’s go!
Thank you very much!

Reiko Akimoto: M・A・O

・Impressions when the role is decided
I’m M.A.O.
Let me participate in “Kochikame”, which has been loved by many people for a long time.
I am very honored to be able to have it.
Since I was a child, I was familiar with both the original and the animation.
I was really happy when I heard the results of the audition!
・Message to fans
I wonder why it would be like that with the nostalgic and warm atmosphere of the downtown area (laughs)! Enjoy a lively slapstick play that makes you want to raise your voice
I think you can get it.
Of course, Ryo-san has a lot of unique and attractive characters.
We hope that you are looking forward to the start of the broadcast as it will appear.
Thank you very much! !

Daijiro Ohara: Raikou Sakamoto

・Impressions when the role is decided
When it’s decided, how do you bring out the elements of Director Ohara’s dignity, power, kindness, and melancholy? That challenge made my head full.
The director’s age is around the mid-fifties, but I thought it was different from the current 50’s in a good way.
But in the end, I bet on the live feeling when recording with everyone else.
I was aware that there was only one. I wonder how it came out…
・Message to fans
I’m sure everyone is looking forward to it, but I myself am looking forward to it.
Since it is such an original, I hope that it will last as long as the Heisei version, if it will come true.
Ladies and gentlemen, please watch and turn around.

Director: Heitaro Daichi

・Impressions when it was decided to be the director
“Kochikame” is a national work that is widely loved by many people in both the original and anime.
While actually working on the production, I once again feel the interest of the work “Kochikame”.
As usual, there are many gags with a strong Showa taste in the work… I feel like “Please leave it to me!”

・Message to fans
I’m really moved by Mr. Ryo’s vitality, and with the coming back, Mr.
All the staff are happy to see anime that will revitalize Japan once again.
It’s just interesting, and we are making it while laughing. By all means, I would like you to relax your shoulders, feel free to laugh, and be healthy.
Please look forward to it!
