Cast comments] (*Honorifics omitted)
Yuji Mitsuya as Soichi

I am excited to play an interesting role for the first time in a long time. There are comical elements in the horror, so it's a question of how to play that part. The role is eerie and a bit weak, so I feel like this is my first attempt at such a voice. The work has a strong impact, so please enjoy and be scared.

Hiro Shimono as Oshikiri

I have always loved horror works of various genres, so I am very happy to be able to participate in this project. I have seen many of Mr. Ito's works, both manga and live-action. I'm really looking forward to it!

Kaori Nazuka as Yuko

I am honored to be involved in this film. Personally, however, I am a little bit bad at horror ...... (laugh).
I tend to watch or read them, but I usually remember them later and get a bit nervous (laughs). I am also nervous because the illustrations have quite an impact on the work, so I think it will stay in my brain. ...... I will try to record the work without destroying its unique atmosphere, and I hope that all horror lovers, and even people who are scared like me, will be able to watch the work and remember it in their brains. I hope you will enjoy the world of Junji Ito. We hope you will enjoy the world of Junji Ito.

In addition, since the contents of the episodes of this work will not be made public until the day of broadcast, we will not know which characters will appear in which episodes until the day of broadcast. Please look forward to seeing how and in which episodes they will appear.
