–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!

–Please leave a message to the fans who are looking forward to
the release.
My name is Furukawa, and I will be the voice of Ogun Montgomery.
I'm a newcomer from the 2nd Chapter, and I'm having great fun playing both the comical and serious scenes of my character. It's being a fulfilled dubbing session.
I'm so excited that I can't wait for the day when we will able to watch the series together in front of the TV”.
