Sachiko Kobayashi
I am very honored to be able to participate in the "Cutie Honey Universe" celebrating the 50th anniversary of that Go Nagai professor. I am very honored to be able to play the role of the mysterious Panther Zora!　I would be happy if I could give a sense of being a raspberry raspberry. I would be happy if a sequel is made and more Panther Zora appears in it.
By all means, everyone!　Don't miss it until the final episode!
