Kentaro Yamamoto(cv. Daisuke Ono), a reliable big brother with a square-cropped head

Daisuke Ono
1) Enthusiasm!
My name is Daisuke Ono and I play the role of Kentaro Yamamoto.
I play the role of Kentaro Yamamoto, the older brother of a gang of three yakuza.
There are some tense scenes in the film (laughs), but the atmosphere on the set is very friendly and good.
Just like the relationship with the boss in the film, I would like to pledge my loyalty and devote my soul to this work.
Thank you very much for your cooperation!

(2) Afew words aboutyour character's partner (Yuzuka Nukui, who plays Aili)
Ms. Nukui watches my performance of Kentaro with great enthusiasm, and I also absorb her performance by watching Iris played by Ms. Nukui.
I believe this will make Kentaro a more interesting character.
I would like to continue to work with him in the future.

Iris, the leader of Gokudorsu(cv. Yuzuka Nukui)

Yuzuka Nukui
1) Enthusiasm!
I am very honored to be involved in such a wonderful production.
When I told my parents, "I'm finally going to be an idol! But when I told them that I am a gangster on the inside, they immediately understood!
I will do my best to support the group as an idol leader and the gang as a yakuza brother!

(2) A few words about your character's partner (Kentaro Yamamoto, played by Daisuke Ono)

I never thought I would have the opportunity to play the same character (?) as Mr. Ono. I never thought I would have the opportunity to play the same character (?) as Mr. Ono!
Kentaro, the gangster played by Mr. Ono, and Iri, the idol who is completely different from Mr. Ono even though they are the same inside, have a very rare relationship.

Ryo Tachibana(cv. Satoshi Hino),a dandy with an all-back hair, is a martial artist.

Satoshi Hino
1) Enthusiasm!
Ryo Tachibana," whom I will be playing, is a man with a particularly strong martial arts temperament among the three of them.
Even in his "Mari Tachibana" form, he is still a cool guy, so I'm trying to keep a balance between the two while doing my best to joke around in the gag parts.
I hope you will enjoy laughing at the gap between the two.

(2) A few words about your character's partner (Kaori Maeda, who plays Mari)
Kaori Maeda, who plays the role of Mari Tachibana, is very studious and sincere about her role, asking me during breaks and other times what she thinks is the best way to speak as Ryo Tachibana, and how to use dialogue that is typical of a gangster.
He is very studious and serious about his role, and although he is playing the same role as an old man like me, let's create an interesting "Mari Tachibana" and "Ryo Tachibana" together!

Mari(cv. Kaori Maeda), the cool sister of Gokudorsu

Kaori Maeda
1) Enthusiasm!
I am very excited to be playing the role of Mari Tachibana!　When I was told about the audition, I read the original work and found it so interesting that I got hooked on it and read it with a big smile on my face.
I will try to come out of my shell and have the most fun while respecting the atmosphere and worldview of this work!
Personally, I am often told that I look like an old man, so I hope I can make use of that in Mari-chan and get along with her as if we were drinking sake together!
I will do my best, so please look forward to it!

(2) A few words about your character's partner (Satoshi Hino, who plays Ryo Tachibana)
My first impression of Satoshi Hino, who plays Ryo Tachibana, who is also Mari, is very similar to Ryo! (laugh).
I have the impression that he is intelligent and calm, and I feel that this is very similar to Ryo.
He is the complete opposite of me, so I would like to take this opportunity to learn from him!
Both the charm of Ryo as played by Mr. Hino and the charm of Mari as played by me are very wonderful, so I hope we can work together to convey the fun of Mari to the audience!

Kazuhiko Sugihara(cv. Kazuyuki Okitsu), a cheerful gun-totter with a punch perm

Kazuyuki Okitsu
1) Enthusiasm!
I'm Kazu!　I'm Kazu! I'm going to make Gokudolls more exciting with Aniki and the other three of us! 　 I'm Kazu! I'm Kazuyuki Okitsu!
It's a high-speed, high-tension, cute, violent, and fun show!　Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce you to the following two characters!

(2) A few words about your character's partner (Hikaru Akao, who plays Chika)
We are one and the same!

▼ Sexchange

Gokudorsu no Love Love Love Pyon Pyon Chika(cv. Hikaru Akao)

Hikaru Akao
1) Enthusiasm!
Congratulations on the anime adaptation!
My name is Hikaru Akao and I will be playing the role of Chika, the loveable Pyon Pyon of the cute idol group, Gokudolls!
It's a rare experience to have two cast members for one role, and I'm really looking forward to it!
I'm looking forward to it!　I'm very excited about this radical story, but I will do my best as a member of Gokudols so that you can enjoy the lives of the three of us☆.

(2) A few words about your character's partner (Kazuyuki Okitsu, who plays Kazuhiko Sugihara)
Kazuyuki Okitsu plays Kazu, Chika's pre-sex change partner, and we work as one as Chika = Kazu, and I do my best to play the role.
I am still inexperienced as a gangster idol, but Mr. Okitsu is a very kind person who supports me as Kazu!
This is the first time for both of us to play one person, but together with Mr. Okitsu, I would like to make the character of "Raburappu-pyon-pyon" come alive with sincerity!

Producer Inukane(cv. Keiji Fujiwara)
...The head of the Inukin clan. He is the creator of Gokudorsu. He is also a lyricist, producer, teacher, and president....

Keiji Fujiwara Comment
1) Enthusiasm!
I enjoy and love playing this kind of old man!
I will do my best to make the audience hate me!

2) Comment on Gokudorsu
They look so cute!
If I didn't know the original, I'd be a fan!
Well... anyway, I feel sorry for them.
