Comments
Original author Masashi Kishimoto
I believe that it is thanks to everyone's support that we have been able to continue this long. I want to make "BORUTO" even more interesting than "NARUTO".There are many more developments awaiting us in themanga, anime, andgames, so please keep your eyes peeled for them!

Yufuko Sanpei as Uzumaki Bolt
BORUTO becoming an animated TV series. It's like a dream. What will they do and what will happen beyond the world spun by my father, Naruto, and the others? The mission in the Three Mansell, the family reunion, the scenery I want to see is overflowing. I'm looking forward to the recording with Bolt, Sarada, Mitsuki, and their many friends, and I hope you will continue to support BORUTO as you did with NARUTO!　I'm so excited to be recording with Bolt, Salad, Mitsuki, and our many friends! I'm looking forward to seeing you all!

Kokoro Kikuchi as Sarada Uchiha
Last summer I thought, "Now that I have met the role of Sarada, I would like to be with her a little longer. When I heard about the decision to make BORUTO into an anime, I was both happy and a bit intimidated at the same time. Once again, I realized the magnitude of the work "NARUTO". I would like to take over the history of Kinoha, which has been spun with great care, and weave a new history with a firm, careful, and honest heart.

Ryuichi Kijima as Mitsuki
Naruto and his friends have been conveying the message of perseverance, friendship, love, and that people are not alone, and have fostered a kind of bond not only between the characters but also between everyone. I would like to play the role of Mitsuki so that I can feel and cherish those bonds and nurture new bonds between BORUTO and you. I am looking forward to seeing what kind of encounters await us through Mitsuki!

Junko Takeuchi as Uzumaki Naruto
For 15 years, I have watched, cheered and participated in the tale of Naruto and his friends' growth with you, and now they have finally climbed the stairs to adulthood. I am filled with sadness and gratitude. However!　The will of the Kinoha fire still continues!　They will take the baton from the Naruto generation and bring us a new tale of growth. Yes. This time, the story of Naruto's children, the Bolts, will unfold. Times have changed and many problems will be transformed in the world of Shinobi. Please come and watch the troubles, conflicts, friendship, and growth of the main character, Bolt, and his friends! Please support them!
