One-Punch Man" is an anime work based on a web manga (original work: ONE, Yusuke Murata) that is serialized in the Young Jump magazine.

The staff consists of Shingo Natsume (Space Dandy) as director, Tomohiro Suzuki (TIGER & BUNNY) as series composition, and Oshi Kubota (From the New World) as character design. Animation production is by Madhouse.

Following the main character Saitama, who has gained invincible power, and his apprentice, the cyborg Genos, additional characters/cast members have been unveiled. Sonic of Sound Speed, a ninja who undertakes everything from assassination to bouncer, is played by Hiroki Kaji, and Tatsumaki of Fear, an S-class 2nd ranked hero and an esper who defeats monsters with supernatural attacks, is played by Aoi Yuuki. Below are their comments.

Yuki Kaji (as Sonic of Sound Speed) comment
Congratulations on the "One-Punch Man" TV anime adaptation! I had a chance to read the original work, and the development that unfolded with a unique sense of style was so interesting that I couldn't stop turning the pages. I am looking forward to playing the role of Sonic, who is supposed to be cool but somehow disappointing... I can't help but look forward to the recording now! I am looking forward to playing the role of Sonic, and I hope I can help express the character in a more attractive way while having fun. I'm looking forward to the day when not only Sonic but also many other characters will be moving and talking!

Aoi Yuuki (Tatsumaki the Fear) comment
I have been looking forward to the anime ever since I heard about it, so I was really happy that I could be a part of it! I will do my best to make everyone's image of the coolest Tatsumaki, small but the strongest, come alive!
