–Please tell us your impressions of the character Ogun
Montgomery.

My first impression of him was of a friendly and good-natured young man.
I enjoy voicing him because he has a great sense of humor, and also I love watching him teasing Pan.
I would like to have such funny guys as friends.
His technique Yoruba Blacksmith and the spears used in the battle scenes are amazing, aren't they?
I think he's the most interesting character!
