Tomoyuki Morikawa's comment as Li Moku

Kingdom is entering its fifth series, which is also the showcase of Li Moku.
It's a long series, so I have mixed feelings: I am eagerly waiting for my role in the series to come soon, and I still want to wait for it to come.
I will do my best to express the charm of Li Moku to the fullest!
Thank you all for your kind attention! And enjoy the show!

Daisuke Hirakawa as Keisha: Comment

My name is Daisuke Hirakawa and I play the role of Keisha.
This series is no different from the past series in that the characters are as strong as ever!
I will do my best to play the role of Keisha, the "silent hunter" who fights to be of service to Master Li Moku, quietly but passionately.
Please look forward to the battle of the Han men as it unfolds amidst the whirlwind of various thoughts and feelings!

Yasutsugu Ishii as Comet Kiket comment

The fifth series is the battle of Black Sheep Hill.
I think my role as Kiket is a role that viewers can sympathize with.
Recently, I have often played the role of a villain, so I am nervous about playing the role of a serious good guy.
On the other hand, the enemy general KANKI is so terrible, so terrible...it really makes me angry.
Anyway, it is interesting enough to watch only the 5th series. I am looking forward to seeing it.

The comments are in Japanese only.

＜Synopsis
Qin Dynasty in western China, B.C.
As a young boy, Shin, a former servant who aspired to be a "general under heaven" as he dreamed of with his late best friend Drifting, was involved in a coup d'etat for the throne of the Qin Dynasty, and fate led him to meet the 31st King of Qin, Eisei Yeisei.

As the leader of the "Hishintai," the Qin Army's "Flying Squadron," he and Yeisei aim to unify China, a goal that no one has ever achieved, and steadily rise through the ranks while engaging in friendly competition with generals of the same generation, such as Meng Ten and Wang Peng.
Meanwhile, Yomei, who took the throne of King Qin at a young age, also slowly built up his power within the court, and finally regained control of the country from his rival Lu Fwei. With this, he finally embarked on his long-cherished plan to unify China in earnest.
The Qin army aims to capture Black Sheep Hill in Zhao Province to make it a new base for the unification of China.
The Qin army's general in this battle is Kanki, who is known as a "battle genius" and is willing to use any means necessary to win the battle.
In contrast, the general of the Zhao army is Keisha, who is trusted by the rare military genius Li Moku and is known as the "silent hunter." Under the command of these two generals, both of whom have an unfathomable fearlessness, an offensive and defense battle over the key point, Heokuyogoka, begins!
