Character Unveiling

■Kakushi Goto CV: Hiroshi Kamiya

A manga artist. He once had a hit with his work "Kintama Shishi". Currently, he is serializing "Kaze no Taitu" (Tights of the Wind), a story with a lot of undertones, in Goudansha's "Weekly Shonen Manga Zine". He loves his only daughter, Hime, so much that he keeps the fact that he draws his own manga a secret.

GOTO Hime CV: TAKAHASHI Riie
Daughter of Kakushi. She is in the fourth grade of elementary school. Her trademark is her slicked-back bangs. She has been in several situations where Kikushi's work is about to be exposed, but whether she knows it or not, she goes about her day-to-day life unaware of it. She is very protective of her father and has a strong character.

Cast Comments

The following are cast comments from Hiroshi Kamiya and Riyo Takahashi.

Comments by Hiroshi Kamiya (original text)

Q1. Impression of this work
It's a manga based on Mr. Kumeida himself, and it's definitely a Kumeida work as usual... but the theme, the quality of the (shimo-) material, and the story that unfolds several years later, newly written for the comics... it felt like a compilation of all the best parts from the past. I felt like it was the culmination of all the good things I have done so far.

Q2: What is your impression of the character and your enthusiasm for the role?
I had the opportunity to voice a character in a commercial when the first volume of the comic book was released, and I auditioned for the role for the upcoming anime. I hope I can express the face of a father and the face of a worker...I hope I can express the troublesome aspects of Kakushi Goto in different directions!

Riyo Takahashi comment (original text)

Q1. Impression of this work
I read the book when I was auditioning for the role, and at that time, the characters were so lively and well-paced that I could replay the animation in my brain! The conversations are cute and endearing (......). It is a mysterious work that makes you smile and enjoy it, but also makes you feel relaxed at the end.

Q2: What is your impression of the character and your enthusiasm for the role?
I have the impression that the character is a "lovely daughter," which is exactly the right word for her, as she is filled with all the cuteness of a child. However, I also get the impression that Hime-chan herself is clever enough to try to fit within the framework of a child, and I want to do my best to bring out the charm of that perfect balance.

Congratulatory illustrations have arrived!

Comment from the original author: "This will be my last animated work, so please watch it.
