List of Character Introductions

Rensuke Irimichi (CV: Kou Takano)

He's a one-eyed kid. His nickname is Rensuke. He is on the class committee with Mr. Utagawa, and is the one who organizes everyone. He is usually kind, but when he loses his temper, he becomes unruly. His eyesight is 130. He can see too much.

Kou Takano (as Rensuke Irimichi) comment
(1) About your role
Rensuke Irimichi is a strong man with many friends and is called by the nickname "Renren.
He is a one-eyed youkai with outstanding eyesight.
He also has leadership skills, so when trouble arises, everyone relies on him to calmly call out for help.
There are many reasons why Renren is like that...
When I learned about it in the manga, I was really surprised.

Comment to the fans
This is my first anime regular!
I got to see a lot of cooler parts up close from the voice actors whom I usually respect.
I was really afraid of the scene, but I was given a luxurious and wonderful role, so I did my best in my own way to make as many people as possible think that it was great that Kou Takano played the role of Rensuke Irimichi.
I hope that many people will think that Rensuke Takano was a good choice for the role of Rensuke Takano!

3) Memories of my school life that I can say only now
I am an honor student like Renshu, but I was not a class committee member.
I am an honor student like Renshu, but I was once caught playing a game during class and had it confiscated.
I have the same hair style as Renshu, and I was once warned that my bangs were too long.

Akira Takahashi (CV. Shota Aoi)

Hyakumei Oni. He is the infirmary teacher at Hyakki Gakuen, but he is a psychopath who is a total pervert. He is so "perverted" that I can't even say it here. He is always smiling, always huffing and puffing. Calm down.

Shota Aoi (Akira Takahashi) comment
(1) About your role
I will be playing the voice of Akira Takahashi!
He is a tricky character who is a doctor and a health teacher but also has a psycho side!

My own guesses are Mr. Akira Takahashi and the one-eyed Irimichi!
Irimichi-kun is so cute!

Kudabo. He's a yokai that appears in the rice paddies. His nickname is Hijitan. He is a self-proclaimed "big brother" of the class. He is popular with the boys, but not with the girls. When he gets angry, he sometimes throws mud at them. It's annoying.

Tamao Akisame (CV. Yuki Sakakibara)

She is a nekomata. Her nickname is Tama. Her tail and ears are always popping out, making her a lively character. She is best friends with Renren. Like Mamekichi, she is not good at studying, but she is more pure and straightforward than Mamekichi (according to her).

Yakumo N badger (CV. Takao Mitsutomi)

He is a very smooth guy with a shaggy afro and a cheerful smile. A cheerful yankee with a shaggy afro. He often hangs out with Renren and Tama. Sometimes he gets carried away and wears stompers, but before he knows it, he's back to his original Afro. He's a tough guy.

Fuyuya Fuji (CV: Sakuo Hinata)

Yanagida (CV: Tomokazu Sugita)

He is Ichikan Kiwami. Despite his cute looks, he is a mad scientist. He belongs to the science club and is always developing weird drugs. When he appears in the movie, there is usually a sound effect of "choo-choo" or "kachudo". It's annoying.

Makoto Yamazaki (CV. Tomoaki Maeno)

He is a doppelganger policeman. He can transform into anyone, not only in appearance, but also in personality and inside. His face is wrapped in bandages. He's very fashionable.

Marshmallow (CV: Chisai Morinaga)
