Character Introduction / Cast Comments

Keita Ameno (cv. Megumi Ban)
An ordinary high school sophomore who enjoys playing games. He loves all kinds of games, from consumer games to social games, but his skills are not very good. He is a bit of a loner in his class.

Comments by Megumi Ban
This is an ordinary day in the life of Keita Ameno. In this case, "ordinary" applies not only to "everyday life" but also to "Keita Ameno," and that includes him! No, even mobs have names and personalities! No, no, no, what are you talking about? It kind of reminds me of the main character in a certain anime, though! Keita Ameno! I will play the role with love! Thank you very much for your kind attention!

Hanayoshi Tendo (cv. Hisako Kanemoto)
She is a super high school student who boasts of her good looks, excellent grades, clear-headedness, and athletic ability. She is a beautiful girl who is recognized as the idol of the school. She has secretly established a game club at her school and serves as its head.

Comment from Hisako Kanemoto
My name is Hisako Kanemoto and I will be playing the role of Karen Tendo in the anime. Hanayoshi is a talented and talented honor student who is looked up to at school, but I believe that inside she is a busy person with a lot of emotions moving around at a dizzying pace. I will do my best so that everyone can enjoy the anime version of Gamers! I will do my best so that everyone can enjoy it, and I hope that you will also give me your support in the future!

Chiaki Hoshinomori (cv. Mainaka Ishimi)
She is a second-year high school student who is not very talkative and likes to play games quietly by herself. She not only actually plays games, but also creates free games by herself. Although they share the same love of games, she and Keita have a different sense of values toward games, and they are "dogs and monkeys" together.

Comment from Mainaka Iwami
I will be playing the role of Chiaki Hoshinomori! My name is Mainaka Iwami!　Chiaki is a talkative and reserved character, but when it comes to her favorite things, she becomes talkative and you want to root for her. I am very happy to be able to play the role because I can relate to her in many ways!
I am nervous, but I will do my best to make my performance as lively as possible!
I will do my best so that everyone who watches the show will enjoy it, and I hope you will support me!
I will do my best to make the show enjoyable for everyone who watches it, so I hope you will support me!

Akuri (cv. Rumi Okubo)
She is Yu Uehara's girlfriend. Despite her girly tone and appearance, she is an innocent good girl. She is a little natural and a bit of an idiot. She is the only one among the members who does not know anything about games.

Rumi Okubo comments
My name is Rumi Okubo, and I will be playing the role of Akuri. When I read the original story, I was smiling at Akuri-chan and her friends' romantic comedy. I think all the characters are cute and high school-like. I myself like to play games and go to game centers, so I feel close to the characters. Please look forward to the anime!

Yu Uehara (cv. Toshiyuki Toyonaga)
Keita's classmate. He is the leader of the class and has a girlfriend, which is typical of him, but in fact, he also has a side that loves video games.

Toshiyuki Toyonaga commented, "I never thought I would be cast as a male in the main cast.
I'm the only male member of the main cast, and I'm not the only one in red, but the only one in black. I am the only male in the main cast. I am looking forward to this work very much as a gamer.
