Ryota Osaka (playing the role of Seimei Abe)

1, About your role

Seimei is a former reclusive teacher who is not very fond of Yankees.

At first, he is a bit of a shy boy and has no dignity as a teacher, but as he gets to know his students, I think he becomes a beloved character with his true kindness...lol.

2,Comment to fans

This is a work with a long history, and I have been working very hard on my performance, in many ways!

The recording studio has a classroom-like atmosphere, so please relax and enjoy the show!

3, What have you started recently as the title "I have just started"?

I've been getting into motorcycles so much in the past year that I think I might be in trouble. At first, I thought of them as just a means to get around, but the more videos I watched, the more I fell in love with them. Now is the season for motorcycles, so I want to go to various places.

Katsumi Ono (Director)

I am very honored to be the director of the TV anime "Yokai Gakko no Sensei Hajimemashita! I am very happy to be the director of the TV animation "Yokai Gakko no Sensei Hajimemashita!

I enjoyed making this unusual work, which is a gag story with a yokai as its subject.

The characters are very unique and I think it is a title that is hard to find anywhere else.

Everyone at the production site is having a great time working on it, and I hope that we can bring that fun to everyone.

This is a gag anime that I have always wanted to do, so I will do my best!

I hope you will give "Yojimbo" your best!
