Comments

My name is Kendo Kobayashi, and I play the role of Wolfman.
I was offered the role quite some time ago, and I have been working on the role longer than the lead roles in major TV dramas.
Wolfman is a superhero who has many highlights, such as being a mysterious paint wrestler in Hawaii in the past, so please enjoy the role!
