Cast Comments

Hiroshi Kamiya as Ashraman

I have a longing to play the role of a superhuman with a strong body and spirit that possesses power beyond that of humans.
And I can't say it myself, but I am the kind of person who can't ignore something called friendship.
I think I can say that all of this is due to this work called "Kinnikuman.
I couldn't become the superhero I longed to be, but I was able to become the voice of a superhero. Ashraman.
His new voice, nicknamed the Prince of the Demon World, is devilishly strong! Demonically graceful! I will deliver it to you!

Tomokazu Sugita: Playing the role of Neptuneman

BGM "Another Blood" from "The War for the Throne
I will be playing the role of Neptuneman. My name is Tomokazu Sugita.
What can I do to achieve perfection? I believe that it is to have a strong and tough body and mind, unfazed by any situation.
Mushroom picking, autumn leaf peeping, and mask picking are the seasonal traditions. The muscles in my body are smiling all the time as I look forward to the future. Let's go, martial arts!
Best regards!

Shinichiro Ota: Announcer

Kinnikuman. This title has a great influence on my generation.
When I was a student, I set my own superhero strength as 10 million power and had heated fights with my friend (10 million power) every recess.
My superhero hardness was of course diamond hardness 10, and I remember being disappointed when I found out that my birthstone for my month of birth was not a diamond.
As someone who was influenced by the superheroes of the Kinnikuman world as a matter of course, I am now involved in the new Kinnikuman!
This time, strength and hardness have nothing to do with it, it's human. It is a real-life situation. I will be speaking with gusto in the midst of the superhumans' heated fights.
I will do my best not to interfere with those hot fights and to convey them to you.
I hope that the number of superhumans like me will increase all over Japan after watching the new "Kinnikuman: Perfect Cho-jin Hajime Hen" that will start this time!
