Natsuki Hanae's comment
Q. How did you feel and how enthusiastic were you when you were chosen to play the role of Ryo Mizushima, the main character in the anime "Love All Play"?
A. I was very happy. I myself belonged to an athletic club (in my case, tennis) when I was a student.
I spent my unforgettable youth with my friends in joys and sorrows.
Such passionate feelings seem to come back to me.
I am looking forward to playing the role of Ryo, who is devoted to badminton!

Q. What scenes are you looking forward to in the "Love All Play" anime?
A. It is a sport that moves quite violently, so I am very curious to see how it will be animated during the game. Also, I am looking forward to playing the role, although I am sure there will be some painful parts such as relationships and worries that are unique to the school days!

Q. Do you have a message for the audience?
A. I will do my best to convey my passion for badminton through this work.

He has a passion for badminton deep down inside, but he has a hard time expressing it, and in junior high school he was not able to achieve the results he wanted. He was invited to join the badminton club at Yokohama Minato High School because of his talent, which he did not even realize he had.
Ryo's passion for badminton grows as he meets Mr. Ebihara and his friends in the Yokohama Minato High School Badminton Club.
