‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ The new cast will be Mitsuishi Kotono and Nakata Joji! ‘Can I expect a bonus?’ ‘I will remain a heavy-drinking and reckless dad (laugh)’

From “Jujutsu Kaisen” that is currently broadcast, the new cast has been announced as Mitsuishi Kotono and Nakata Joji. We received some comments from them.

“Jujutsu Kaisen” is based on a comic that has been serialized in ‘Weekly Shonen Jump’ (published by Shueisha) since 2018. It depicts a dark fantasy featuring a high school boy Itadori Yuji involved in a battle over a curse after a seal of ‘Mamono’ was broken.

This time, Mitsuishi Kotono and Nakata Joji has been chosen as the new cast. Mitsuishi will play the role of Mei Mei, a self-employed Grade 1 Sorcerer, and Nakata will play the role of Zen’in Naobito, a father of Zen’in Maki and Mai.
We received comments from them.

The TV anime “Jujutsu Kaisen” is broadcast on Friday at ‘Super Animeism’ block of a total of 28 MBS/TBS franchised channels. Mei Mei and Zen’in Naobito will appear from episode 17 ‘Kyoto Sister School Exchange Event – Group Battle 4 -‘ which is broadcast on February 5, 2021.


Mitsuishi Kotono as Mei Mei
I am so excited about the battling scenes as she is an undisputed strong woman. I will try my best to play a woman of strength and grace. If I can do well, can I expect a decent amount of bonus?

Nakata Joji as Zen’in Naobito
I have watched this anime multiple times before I received an offer as it is produced by MAPPA and directed by Sunghoo Park, so I am really excited. I’m glad to be a father of beautiful siblings, but not everything will go easy for them, so I need to try hard and show my capability. Until the time comes, I will remain a heavy-drinking and reckless dad (laugh).
