Casting announced! Comments also arrived!

Daitsugu Kajita (Yamato)

I'm thrilled to see what kind of story the Bikkuriman anime, reborn in 2025, will tell and how it will reach everyone's hearts! I am very much looking forward to it!
Yamato-kun is just an upright and kind-hearted boy! Also... He is very fast on his feet!

Hideta Morishima (Ushiwaka)

I'm surprised that I could be a part of the Bikkuriman that I was obsessed with as a child!
Ushiwaka, who thinks everyone but himself is an idiot, is actually a very cute guy! I look forward to working with him!
Please enjoy "Bikkuri Men," the Bikkuri Man of 2025!

Ryumaru Tachibana (Jack)

This is a work that anyone can enjoy, regardless of age or sex. Whether you know Bikkuriman or not, you won't be able to stop being excited by the surprising developments and surprising characters! If you can laugh at Jack's free-spiritedness, you will be happy!

Souma Saito (Phoenix)

I am very happy to be involved as a voice actor in the Bikkuriman series, which I was crazy about collecting as a boy. Phoenix is like an older brother who watches over everyone. I tried to be gentle and kind to the fresh protagonists. I look forward to working with him!

Katsuyuki Konishi (Maris)

I was able to dive into the world of my favorite Bikkuriman!
I'm looking forward to the broadcast too!
Maris is a megane handsome guy. Please take care of him.
Let's spread the Bikkuriman and Bikkurimen circle around the world!

Yohei Azaue (Hood)

Hood is a rough and seemingly scary character, but the more you get to know his true face, the more you will like him! Please look forward to seeing him!

Yuki Sakakibara (Peter)

Peter, who I will be playing, is a very cute boy, at least on the outside. I think his character is also cute, but I wonder what you will think of him at ....... Please look forward to his performance!

Atsushi Tamaru (Ali Baba)

I think Ali Baba looks like a weak and unmotivated boy.
But how will he change when he meets Yamato and his friends, and how will he be involved in the story?
Please keep your eyes on him.

Yuichiro Umehara (Ipponsuri)

I am very happy to be able to be involved in this completely original story of Bikkuriman, which everyone knows.
Ippontsuri is a dynamic character who is called "old man" by the characters around him, and it was fun to play him with warmth and appropriateness.

■Mitsuhiro Ichikawa (as Terumiko)

I was really surprised that the Bikkuri Man, which I was crazy about as a child, would be revived in Reiwa and that I would be playing the role of Terumiko... I am really surprised!
I'm really surprised to know that I will be playing the role of Terumitsuko! Please look forward to the activities of the young godchildren...!
