Comment from Yuya Hirose as Keintzel

I am Yuya Hirose and I will be playing the role of Keintzel.

I was touched by the original story during the audition and was overwhelmed with many emotions: hatred, sadness, anger, and warmth.
I was filled with many emotions.

I was happy when I was chosen to play the role, and at the same time, I was very excited to play the role,
I was happy when the decision was made, but at the same time I was determined to fight through with him.
