Shaku Yumiko will join the main cast in episode 6, which is about an unsolvable accident that happened in a local campsite. The role Oita Rika, that Uchida is playing as, is a staff member at the campsite who found the dead body of a "guy in suits", which is unnatural in that place. Based on Rika testimony, before the victim death, she saw him fighting with a male guest and it was revealed that the companion of that male guest is Kumaki Takayo (acted by Shaku), the wife of an inspector who was killed during his duty last year. This has caused an unexpected development to this case. Uchida Maaya is a voice actor famous for her role as Takanashi Rikka from "Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!", Kanzaki Ranka from "The iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls", and Norman from "The Promised Neverland", and also acting as herself in the live action movie "Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku". Despite being involved in various media, this is her first time appearing in a detective drama.

I was surprised as I didn't expect to receive an offer to appear in a detective drama, which make me think "Am I suitable?". However, I will take on this challenge as someone will be happy about it. I am waiting for the broadcast now! ――As the first witness and the campsite staff member, Oita Rika, what did you pay attention for this role? I thought that I had to act naturally so I wouldn't look out of place. I kept in mind that I would have a scary face if I thought too much on the arrangement! So, I acted in a way that makes the workplace look fun and bright. ――There was a difficult scene where you give out a cry after spotting the dead body, do tell us the events during the shooting for that! It was really a difficult scene because after adjusting my emotion steadily, I ended up shouting "Kyaa!" in the end during that scene! I wasn't able to do it well, so there were a lot of retakes for it. It was like a different world as I have to remember the movement, camera position along with the lines, but it was quite fun and I notice that there is still a long way for me as there are various types of plays out there. ――What is your thought while performing along with veteran actors such as Kaneda Akio-san, Saitou Yuki-san, and Shaku Yumiko-san? They're so cheerful and I was happy to exchange some words with them at the workplace . Once the camera started rolling, I was glad to be able to enter the world of "Sousa Ichikachou"! ――Please give a message to the audience! As this is a rare opportunity for me, I hope everyone can enjoy it! Do look forward to Oita Rika working at the campsite and her surprised face!"

The additional characters and cast members of "Komi Can't Communicate" (Broadcast starts on October 7, 2021) have been revealed. Komi Shousuke is voiced by Enoki Junya while Tadano Hitomi is voiced by Uchida Maaya. "Komi Can't Communicate" is based on the same-name manga by Oda Tomohito that is currently serialized on "Weekly Shounen Sunday". This is a comedy story that revolves around the "extreme unsociable" freshman high school girl that has a dream of "Making 100 friends", Komi Shouko, "Her first friend" and classmate that is "Too plain", Tadano-kun, and other unique characters. A total of 2 cast members have been announced, which are Enoki Junya as the voice of Komi Shousuke, and Uchida Maaya as the voice of Tadano Hitomi. The comments from both of them have been released as well. "Komi Can't Communicate" will start broadcast at 12:00 AM, on October 7, 2021, on TV Tokyo, and other channels. ＜Below are the full comments＞ Komi Shousuke, voiced by Enoki Junya ■ Character's Introduction Komi-kun doesn't need any communication. He is the younger brother of Komi-san with one year gap, and he has quite a handsome appearance that is not inferior to Komi-san. He is able to handle everything without having any communication. ■ Cast Member's Comments Q1. Please tell us your impression of this work. Despite the story progresses without having the main protagonist, Komi-san to communicate much due to her being unsociable, but I feel the amusement of this work when it couples with the existence of Tadano-kun. Q2. Please tell us your impression of your characters as well as your enthusiasm toward the role. Shousuke is the younger brother of Komi-san, but him being quiet is a bit different than Komi-san, so I tried to voice him in a way that won't make him seem to be unsociable. Tadano Hitomi, voiced by Uchida Maaya ■ Character's Introduction Tadano Hitomi is not a normal person at all. She has good manners, and she always greets Komi-san and others when they visited her house. She has a strong mentality, extreme instinct and ability, and she can even perform ventriloquism, so she is not a normal person at all despite being Tadano-kun's younger sister. ■ Cast Member's Comments Q1. Please tell us your impression of this work. I am able to feel the sense of security from the human relationship that progressed slowly around Komi-san. Among the various interesting moment with the comedy situations, I enjoyed the "heart soothing moments" of Komi-san the most. Q2. Please tell us your impression of your characters as well as your enthusiasm toward the role. My impression as of now where the recording is finished is that I feel that Tadano Hitomi is like a modern girl due to her harsh attitude toward her older brother.
