■Comment from Nakai Kazuya
I’m really excited to be a part of My Hero Academia, a globally popular title.
Flect, the character I will be playing, plots terrorism with the belief that he is saving humanity. He’s an inside-out hero, so to speak.
I’ll do my best to make him a realistic villain, who is suitable for the story told in this modern era where various values clash with each other.
