Ban looks terrifying with his pompadour hairstyle but has a quiet voice. He's an enthusiastic fan of Yoikoshi but has a quiet voice. He's a man with a passionate heart but has a quiet voice. His chant is a must-listen! ...... Kaba......... ka...... di...... ......i.........i.........! Komada Wataru Comment I have had experience of the game of kabaddi before, as one of my PE teachers in high school was a former player. I was excited to see an anime based on it, and Seki Ryuta, the character I played this time, has sumo experience and is a hard worker who values communication with others. He's also the class clown of the team. Please look forward to the broadcast of "Burning Kabaddi"! Murase Ayumi Comment At first glance, I thought the character was a female assistant of the team! But he's actually a boy and will get things done when he's in the mood. I'll do my best to capture his character. Here's my chant! kabaddi kabaddi kabaddi kabaddi kabaddi .......
