Aimi Tanaka (playing the role of Umaru Tsuchima)
When I heard that I was chosen to play the role of Umaru, I was so happy that I couldn't help but cry. I will play the role with great care as Umaru-chan, who has many sides to her! I look forward to your support!

Akira Kageyama (as Nana Ebina)
I will do my best to make you love the gap between Nana Ebina, who is timid and shy but really cheerful, and Nana Ebina, who speaks in dialect at a moment's notice!

Haruka Shiraishi (as Kirie Honba)
I will do my best to grasp Kirie-chan's personality and be the Kirie-chan who is loved by the audience. Kirie-chan is easily misunderstood, but I will enjoy playing the part of Umaru-chan moe to the core. I look forward to working with you!

Yurina Furukawa (as Tachibana Sylphine Ford)
I was very happy when I heard that I was accepted for the role of Sylphine. I will do my best to convey a lot of Sylphine-chan's charms, such as her energy and naturalness.
