Comment by Jun Fukuyama
My name is Jun Fukuyama, and I will be playing the role of 009 Shimamura Joe. It is a pleasure to be able to participate in one of Japan's most iconic works that has been depicted for many years, and the shock of this title is so great that I feel like I am witnessing the moment history is being made while playing 009. I have put my heart and soul into it so that I can deliver to you a passion that is greater than the shock you have received. Please enjoy this unpredictable and shocking work to the fullest!
