<Comments>*Original text
Ms. Shion Wakayama will play the role of Mai Kawai.
My name is Shion Wakayama, and I will be playing the role of Mai Kawai.
I am very happy to be able to play the role of my favorite character in my favorite work, but at the same time I feel a lot of pressure. I will do my very best to bring you all the charm of Kawai, who is clumsy, dull, and yet strangely sharp, so please come and take a peek into the daily life of the Machiyama Police Box.

Yui Ishikawa as Seiko ■Fuji Seiko
This work is about police officers who always work hard for the safety and security of people and the city. I had an experience of being treated kindly by a police officer, so I thought, "If I get this, I can be of some help...! I was very enthusiastic about the audition.
The character I play, Fuji, is a former ace of the detective division and is known as "Miss Perfect," and is basically a very talented person... but she is also a person who has a lot to say.
I would like to play the daily life of a police officer with his true feelings, sometimes in a funny way and sometimes in a cool way. I will do my best to make the role of Kawai exciting together with Wakayama Shion!

<Characters
Mai Kawai (CV: Shion Wakayama)
Officer
She is a rookie police officer working at the Machiyama police box. She has no vision or pride as a police officer, and is considering resigning because she is fed up with the hard work. For better or worse, he is pure and straightforward, and is often at the mercy of the words and actions of suspects and boys and girls he has taken into custody.
Under Fuji's guidance, she gradually becomes more positive about her work as a police officer.

Seiko Fuji (CV. Yui Ishikawa)
Sergeant
A former ace of the Criminal Investigation Division who graduated from the police academy with the highest honors and was active in the Investigation Section 1. She is transferred to the Machiyama Police Box and is paired with Kawai as his instructor. There is a rumor that he was transferred due to power harassment by a junior colleague, but the truth is unknown.
She is competent and undeniably good-looking, but her personality and behavior make her a gorilla.

Main Staff Information & Comments

<Comments>*Original text

Director: Yuzo Sato
The live-action drama has already aired, and now the anime version of "Hakozume" is about to air.
I would like to ask for everyone's support.
Kawai, a no-good rookie cop, is trained day by day in a special workplace called the police department. The story depicts a bad rookie police officer, Kawai, being trained (?) day by day in a special workplace called the police department. The diary of a female police officer is depicted in a funny and cute manner.
The more you watch, the more you want to root for Kawai as she goes through experiences that would not be possible in her normal life.
The more you see her, the more you want to cheer her up. Even some of the staff members say, "Our Kawai is so cute! (laugh).

■Series Composition: Ryunosuke Kingetsu
We don't subtract what is necessary, and we don't add what is superfluous--
We will deliver "Hakodume" with 100% purity.
Please look forward to it.
I was able to meet with Mr. Yasu directly every week at the script meeting, and he also told me some behind-the-scenes episodes. ......
As a fan of the original, it was a great opportunity for me (laughs)!

Character Design: Kei Tsuchiya
The TV anime "Hakozume" is about to start!
I believe that this work, from laughter to human-interest stories, will be close to everyone's heart.
