Yuki Inoue, who plays the role of Hiroyuki Kudo

My name is Yuki Inoue, and I will be playing the role of the main character, Hiroyuki Kudo.
When I was chosen for the role, I was very happy, but at the same time I had a strong feeling of "I am going to be the cool Ultraman that I have always wanted to be! I remember I was so happy when I got the part.
When I told my family about it, my mother sent me a picture taken at the Ultraman show that I had attended every year since I was 5 years old, and it brought back the feelings that I had longed for since I was a child.
Now, as the person who delivers those feelings, I will do my best to become Ultraman Taiga, who will remain in the hearts of many people even after I grow up.
The role of the new employee, Hiroyuki Kudo, has a lot in common with myself, who just made my debut as an actor, and with the help of my seniors, I feel like I am becoming more and more like myself.
I am looking forward to working with the wonderful cast and crew, as well as everyone in front of the TV, to make "Ultraman Taiga" a great success. Thank you for your support!
