Starlight Kid Comments

I was given the role of a superhuman nurse, and it was my first time to try my hand at dubbing!
I could never have imagined myself as a voice actor, and you never know what life has in store for you! LOL!
Above all, I'm extremely happy to have been able to appear, even if only a little, in the popular and historic anime Kinnikuman!
I'm also waiting to hear what the fans think of it!
And for those Kinnikuman fans who have never seen Stardom, I hope you will come to the venue to see the show! I'll be waiting for you!
I would like to thank Mr. Yudetamago, the director, the staff, and all the Kinnikuman fans for giving SLK such a wonderful experience!
