“Natsume’s Book of Friends” is based on the best-seller manga with the same name by Midorikawa Yuki that had exceed 14 million copies issued, and it depicts the sad yet warm interaction between human and youkai.

Also, it was announced that Hisako Kanemoto will appear as the guest voice actor. She will be voicing Mitsumi, the small youkai “Ishiokoshi” that Natsume encounter in the forest and is responsible to wake up the divinity youkai, “Ishitestu” that is sleeping at the small wayside shrine. We had received Kanemoto’s comments.

Comments from Kanemoto Hisako, the voice of Mitsumi

I really enjoyed the warm feeling from this work, and I am extremely happy that I was able to appear as Mitsumi this time.
I will try my best so that I am able to express Mitsumi’s thoughts properly. Do look forward to it!
