Comment from Yuma Uchida
A genius who was once called "unbeatable" meets kabaddi, gets absorbed in kabaddi, and burns up passionately with kabaddi. It's hot! It is the hottest!
Please give us your best wishes for the anime "Shakunetsu Kabaddi"!

Masato Ojo (CV: Nobuhiko Okamoto)
Head of the Nokyo Kabaddi Club. He is one of the best in the country at using "counters" to cover his slender physique. When he is turned on during play, he sometimes has a beastly expression on his face. He has been playing kabaddi for more than 10 years.

Comment from Nobuhiko Okamoto
I am very happy to play the role of Masato Ojo, which I have wanted to play since I auditioned for the role. My first impression was that he was a dual personality character with cuteness and madness, but I was told that he is cool and more solid as a captain, so I kept his voice expression very restrained. I hope you enjoy it.
