The main cast and the first PV from the TV anime "My Hero Academia" have been announced.



My Hero Academia" is an anime work based on the manga series written by Kohei Horikoshi and serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump. Set in a world where 80% of the world's population has some kind of idiosyncrasy, the story follows the protagonist, who has no idiosyncrasy of any kind, as he aims to become a hero against criminals who abuse his idiosyncrasy. The original series has sold more than 2 million copies in its first year of serialization and has become a "Jump Royal Road" series with its strong message and unique characters. Directed by Kenji Nagasaki, series composition by Yosuke Kuroda, character design by Yoshihiko Umakoshi, and animation production by BONES.

The main cast has been unveiled. The main character, Deku Midoriya (a.k.a. Deku), who grows up with the goal of becoming a hero, is played by Daiki Yamashita, and All Might, the undisputed No. 1 hero, is played by Kenta Miyake. In the first PV released, we can see Deku and All Might at an early stage, and expectations are high for their dynamic performance.


Comment from Daiki Yamashita (playing the role of Deku Midoriya)
If you are a boy, you must have longed to be a "hero" at least once. I used to imagine myself as a hero while meditating when I went to bed, and I used to draw bad drawings and make a lot of noise with everyone. When I read "My Hero Academia," all those feelings came back to me at once and I became very passionate!　I am very happy to be able to be a part of this work, which is filled with the dreams of a young boy, which will not fade away even when he grows up. I hope I can run the hero's road together with Deku!　I will give my all to play the role!　I will give it my all!
