–How did you felt while receiving the offer for the role of Komondomon?
It was “Eh!?”. As digimon is a long-lasting series, there are a lot of voice actors, who had been involved for a long time, so I wondered will it be fine for me to jump in. Of course, regardless of the role, is I was given an offer, I will try my best to do it. But I was told “The line is Wahoon only”, which make me thought “What is Wahoon?” (haha)

–What is your impression of Digimon in the first place?
The first game has left a deep impression in me and it seem that it had gradually evolved since then. The final evolution of the digimon is so cool! As it closely resembles a human.

— I think that Komondomon will be popular as well. Since children are a fan of transportation.
It would make me happy if it became popular. Something like “Today’s Wahoon has arrived!”. First, I need to try my best as a member of Digimon series. So that the audience, as well as the cast, will have the thought of “I’m glad that Komondomon is here”. So, in order to achieve that, I will need to put more affectionate to the character known as Komondomon.

–Please tell us about your hopes.
Komondomon might be like an intermezzo that connects the scenes together but I will try to make the character grows so that the audience will say “Komondomon has appeared again!” and “Ohh that was a good Wahoon!”. I will put my effort to be the most healing Wahoon.
