【Astro Role: Romi Park】
When I first heard about it I immediately responded「That Astro?! Please let me do it!」 (Laughs). Not only that, the designs… his body and head are both very cute, I can't wait to perform right now.
Of course, knowing this is a legendary work and the characters have been loved by fans for over half a century, it honestly gives a sort of 「scary」 feeling.
But to bear that history and pressure is part of the adventure itself. With that feeling in mind, I would like to play Astro fully with my heart… at least that's what i think. I would also like to pass on Astro's charm to those that adore and love him. Let's go on a adventure everyone!
【『Egg Car』 Director: Akira Iwamoto】
To set a theme like 「There are many difficult things in the world 、but sometimes I feel cheerful and energetic, enjoying every day happily!」may be old-fashioned but its certainly a important thing.
To teach our future generation of kids to have and maintain that kind of mindset is the reason why i drew Dash, Click and his friends. Please watch it together with your parents!
