Since the announcement of the film adaptation, there has been a lot of attention on "Who on earth will play the role of the main character, Otome, and the panda? Since the announcement of the film adaptation, the voice actor who will voice the main character, Yuta Otokotsuki, has been the focus of much attention!

Yuta lost his childhood friend Satoka, whom he had promised to marry, in a car accident in front of his eyes when he was a child, and became possessed by her. Satoka, who became a curse, uses her immense power to hurt those around Otokotsuki. Otokotsuki has lived his life avoiding human contact, but after an encounter with Gojo Satoru, a teacher at a conjuring high school, he vows to break Satoka's curse...

Yuta Otokotsu made his impressive debut as Kurama/Shuichi Minamino in "Yu Yu Hakusho," and has since played the roles of Shinji Ikari, the main character in the "Evangelion" series, and Sailor Uranus/Haruuka Tenno in the "Sailor Moon" series, as well as other roles with neutral or dual personalities or strong personalities. Emi Ogata has always been at the forefront as a voice actress who can express any character.

When asked about the casting of Otokotsuki, the original author Akutomi Shimoga envisioned a character who was "neutral, soft, and gentle, but also has great emotional swings and lapses," and Emi Ogata's name came up as an example of an actor who came close to that image, to which the director of the film, Park, replied, "I see! The decision was unanimous among the animation staff, including the film's director, Atsushi Park, who said, "I see!

The teaser visual only depicts Rika in the back, while Yuta swears to lift the curse on Rika. The teaser visual only depicts Rika in the back, but this 30-second clip also depicts the "ring", an important item that connects the two.

After the recording of this special report, Ogata himself commented, "I hope to create my own image of Yuta Otokotsu with the help of my team and the heart of my soul, while respecting the image of the original work. The original author, Akutomi Shimoda, also commented on the film.

Emi Ogata
My name is Emi Ogata, and I have been asked to play the role of Yuta Otokotsu. I was really surprised when I received the offer!
I was puzzled when I read the original article.

I was puzzled, but the original work I read was really interesting, and I was able to read from volume 0 to the latest volume all at once, and even watched the entire anime (laughs). (Laughs) After I finished watching the anime, I was in awe of the characters. The characters are fascinating but complex. How do you approach them?

I was immediately asked to record a "special report" without even a moment to think about it! I had to start with the difficult task of "expressing Yuta Otokotsu in one word for the first time," but I was able to meet the main staff and reach a consensus (difficult to do with the Corona disaster), so thanks to them I was able to go into the recording a little more relaxed? I told myself that I would be a little more relaxed for the recording (laugh).

I hope to create my own image of Yuta Otokotsu with the help of the team, and I look forward to seeing you at the theater on December 24. I look forward to seeing you at the theater on December 24.

Original writer, Akutomi Shimozu
I had an image of Yuta Otokotsu as a neutral, soft, and gentle character with a wide range of emotions.
