Character

Blade (CV: Reiji Kawashima)
He is a "former" hero who saved the world from the danger of destruction by fighting a decisive battle against the immensely powerful Demon King. After that, he was admitted to "Rosewood Academy," an elite school that trains heroes, and spends his days as a student there.
Although his power as a hero is greatly reduced due to the cost of his single combat with the Demon King, he is still a "super creature" with specifications that are feared by the general student body.
Having spent his entire life in battle, Blade's dream is to become a "civilian. However, his abilities as a "super creature" do not allow him to do so. ......
His favorite food is curry with pork cutlet from the cafeteria.

Ernest Flaming (CV: Misuzu Yamada)
A brilliant young lady of the Flaming family, she is feared by the other students as the "Empress" of Rosewood Academy. She is an honor student with a strong sense of discipline and order, and her background as the daughter of a prominent family gives her a voice that even her teachers cannot resist.
He is also irritated by the new student Braid, who is a maverick, and tries to impose his own sense of justice and the school's rules on him, but he is taken aback when he sees Braid's amazing abilities up close.
He is the owner of the magical sword of flame "Asmodeus," but struggles to control it.

Sophie (CV: Nao Higashiyama)
A cool beauty who is highly regarded as the number two student next to Ernesto at Rosewood Academy, where the elite students gather. While the majority of the students are fond of swordsmanship, Sophie is committed to the art of bare-knuckle fighting.
She rarely communicates with others or acts spontaneously. Her lack of emotional volatility has made her a "floater" among the upperclassmen. Her origins are said to hide a big secret that surprises even Blade and Ernest.

Kufu Ling (CV: Hina Kino)
A dragon baby that attacked Rosewood Academy, Kufuurin became humanized immediately after being vanquished with a single blow by Blade. For some reason, she transformed into a cute-looking girl and settled at the school.
She is a selfish, spoiled child by nature, but because she has the genetic traits of a dragon who reigns as the strong one, she is unable to forgive anyone other than the person who defeated her, Blade, or "Oyasama.
The name Kufu Ling was borrowed by Blade from the name of a legendary knight. His nickname is Cu.

Cast Comments
Reiji Kawashima (Blade)
I hope this work will make you laugh and have fun! The recording scene is as bright and cheerful as in the film, and the audience will be able to enjoy it!
The recording was just as cheerful as in the movie, but during the hot scenes, we were serious and wanted to "make NARUTTAKE's work interesting! The entire staff worked hard with the same passionate desire to "make NARUTTAKE's works interesting! Please come to the "Hero Raising Classroom" and take a peek at the cute characters that we brought to life! Enjoy!

Misuzu Yamada (Ernest Flaming)
My name is Misuzu Yamada, and I will be playing the role of Ernest Flaming in "Hero Classroom.
I have read the original work and found the everyday life with the friends who are attracted to the pure and straightforward Blade very vivid and shining. ......
I am very happy to be able to help in some small way to express this world on film.
I hope I can convey to you the strength of Ernesto, who desperately tries to discipline himself to be the way he should be, and the cuteness of Ernesto, who is mischievous and shows a wide range of expressions appropriate for his age!

Nao Higashiyama (Sophie)
Hero Classroom" is a work that makes you feel the sparkling youth. Many of the characters are a little naturalistic, so the "What? (laugh). Since many of the actors are close in age, the recording sessions are filled with lively conversation and a good sense of teamwork.
My character, Sophie, is a very indifferent girl, so I suppressed my itch to act out various scenes (laugh) and tried my best to express her mysterious and spontaneous cuteness. Please look forward to seeing them all in action!

■Hina Kino (playing the role of Kufu Ling)
Koo is a dragon baby girl. She can turn into a human or a dragon! Because she is a dragon, she has her own common sense that is different from everyone else's, and she has trouble being honest... The more you get to know her, the more endearing she becomes.
There are so many unique and fascinating characters in "Hero Class!
I hope you enjoy the lively, warm, and funny story!

I hope you will enjoy this lively, warm and funny story!
