Actor: Chiwa Saito (Robocon)
I've been playing the role of "Robocon" since before I was born. Robocon" was aired before I was born, but around the time I started working as a voice actor, "Burn ! Robocon" was broadcasted when I started working as a voice actor.
I am very honored to be asked to play the role of Robocon now, 20 years later, and I am excited even before I start playing the role.
I have the impression that Robocon is a nostalgic work that can be enjoyed by the whole family. I would be happy if you could feel the momentum of "2025" while respecting the image of the past. Now that we have worked together to overcome the difficult times, I would like to do my best to give power and robot spirit to those who watch the show.
We hope that those who know and remember the past Robocon, as well as those who will encounter Robocon for the first time, will love it and enjoy it. I will play the role of 2021 Robocon with all my strength and spirit so that all generations will love it!
I hope you will laugh a lot at the theater, cheer up, and smile again tomorrow.


Kino Tsuchiya as Robin
When I was told about the audition, I learned about "Robocon" for the first time and immediately watched the past productions. At the time of the audition, I played the role of an ordinary girl, but after I was accepted, I heard that the role of Robin had been played by great actors in the past, and I was very happy to be chosen.
Robin is "an active, energetic girl robot with a lot of joy, anger, sadness, and joy," so there were many parts that resembled myself.
The entire staff and cast worked together to check body temperature, wash hands, gargle, and sterilize the robot, which was a different kind of tension than in the past! I hope you will pay attention to the costumes and facial expressions as well!
I hope you will pay attention to their costumes and facial expressions! As the title "Robocon" suggests, I hope it will bring cheer and smiles to everyone!

I hope that the title "Ganbare Iwa!
Ganbare Iwa! Robocon Ulala~! Koisuru shiru-less tantanmen! Volume 1".
