I will be playing the role of Butch, the mainstay of the T. Rex family.He is a strong man whohas fought a hundred battles. In the original film, he was played by Sam Elliott, an actor with a very strong voice.Although this is my first time playing a dinosaur, I will do my bestto putgentlenessand conviction into myvoice.Butch may look rough at first glance, but heis really a very gentle character, so I hope you will love him andI will do my best to make himeven more appealing!I hope you willlove him and I will do my best to make him even more appealing ! I would like tosend you love, courage, and the power of life through the overwhelming beauty of the images!

Tomohito Yashima comment
I have always thought that Pixar's films have great quality, sowhen I was told about the film and it became official, I was happy but also felt a lot of pressure at the same time.The character I play, Nash, is a T. Rex, but he is a bit outgoing and charming, and he is also a bright and nice guy. He is alsoa cheerful and good-natured guy. So rather than being a dinosaur,I want to enjoy playing Nashas a character.And I would be happy if the audience can feel that!

Comment from Hairi Katagiri
My first voice acting role is in a Disney/Pixar film, and it's a dinosaur role! I am nervous and my arms are ringing.The character I am playing, Ramsey, is a T-Rex and looks a little scary, but Ihave a human brother, soI would like to play the role as asister, feeling theancient atmosphere and thesize of adinosaur'sbody.
