Shun Horie as Satoru Koshiyama
My name is Shun Horie, and I will be playing the role of Satoru Koshiyama!
There are still many unknown aspects of competitive quizzing for me, so I am very excited about it. I hope I can deliver the same passion I felt when I read the original work before auditioning. The competition quizis not just about the knowledge required to answer thequestions!
I will do my best to make you think, "Quiz is so much fun! I will do my best to make everyone think, "Quiz is so interesting!

Umika Kawashima as Mari Fukami
This anime is about a quiz study group of high school students, but I myself am not good at quizzes.
However, I will try my best to answer the questions in the work!
I want you to see the passion of the high school students for the quiz and their desperation.
I hope you can see their passion for the quiz and their desperation, and I hope you will cheer them on together.
I know I'm not used to being a voice actor, but I want to have fun!
