【Yamadera Kouichi】
I am so thankful for giving me a role that makes me feel a sense of accomplishment from the bottom of my heart! The man who experienced failure became a Villain to leave his legacy in history, and meets La Brava, who becomes his partner. His sad and comical life was so enjoyable while I was playing it!

【Horie Yui】
When I was playing La Brava from “My Hero Academia”, I often cried by reading the manga or script book at the recording studios! The story is so wonderful and I wish a lot of fans to watch it! I also cannot wait to see it!
