I wish to create a new hitting with all the thoughts and skills I have cultivated as a voice actor. I’m thinking! ” Toward Kamiya, Furukawa said, “I’m looking forward to Kamiya-san’s unique hit.” It’s something that everyone will admit, “he said.

In the year of the Tiger, “Urusei Yatsura” will be animated again.
The character designer is Naoyuki Asano from “Osomatsu-san.” I love “Osomatsu-san” and watched it without fail, so I’m pleased.

This time too, Hiroshi Kamiya, Sumire Uesaka of Lamb, all the other characters, and the voice actors of the leading role are surprised at the luxury. Please look forward to it, viewers.

Hiroshi Kamiya (Ataru Moroboshi)
What do “Urusei Yatsura” mean to Mr. Kamiya?
There is no doubt that “Urusei Yatsura” and Rumiko Takahashi’s works, in general, have a significant influence on forming my foundation. So for me, “Urusei Yatsura” is a part of me.
Please tell us about the charm of hitting, what you want to value and what you are looking forward to playing that role.
There aren’t many characters in the world who are physically and mentally sloppy, like hitting. Even if the electric shock of Lamb chars them, they will return to their original state in the next frame. Think. I love the irresponsible and irresponsible hits played by Toshio Furukawa. With that thought and all the skills I have cultivated as a voice actor, I hope to create a new hit!
Sumire Uesaka (role of Lamb)
What do “Urusei Yatsura” mean to Mr. Uesaka?
It’s a masterpiece that had existed before I was born, but I feel once again that it’s a work with tremendous power that is cute, interesting, and sometimes painful to watch now.
When I was in high school, watching an anime on CS broadcast, I collected the original and Ram-chan’s figures, and I fell in love with Urusei Yatsura World!
In the youth of everyone, “Urusei Yatsura” will shine brilliantly.
Please tell us about the charm of Lamb, what you want to value and what you are looking forward to playing that role.
From the first impression, Ram-chan was very attractive because of the coexistence of cute sexiness far from the world and her dedication to Darling.
It’s a fantastic character, so there’s a lot of pressure and tension to play, but I hope I can enjoy the innocent look of Ram-chan, who dances lightly in the sky!
What do “Urusei Yatsura” mean to Mr. Furukawa?
I think it’s an anime that has expanded the range of defense from the previous anime, for example, the second character like the main character of a giant robot, to the third character like a hit. I think that encountering such epoch-making works has an essential meaning in continuing to work as an active person throughout my life.
To Hiroshi Kamiya, who will play Ataru Moroboshi anew
There are as many acting theories as there are professional voice actors. The acting theory, in this case, refers to “creating a role = acting plan,” but, interestingly, each person is different, and of course, I am looking forward to Kamiya-san’s unique hit. Before that, everyone will admit that Kamiya-san has already established his acting theory so well that he doesn’t need any advice or ale from others.
What do “Urusei Yatsura” mean to Mr. Hirano?
The anime “Urusei Yatsura” is my debut as a voice actor. And Ram-chan is an ideal female figure for me and her fans. It is irreplaceable even after 40 years have passed since the broadcast started.
When I think about it now, despite the debut work, it was the top staff and the veteran co-stars who generously showed off their advanced skills as voice actors who were able to record without stress or anxiety. I am deeply grateful because he naturally lifted me like this.
From some time ago, the staff at my workplace started to say, “I want you to tell me that I’m working together like this now.” I am very honored and proud. Perhaps Toshio Furukawa, who plays the role of Darling, has the same experience.
Our pride is also that the original author, Rumiko Takahashi, continues to produce hits and continue to play an active role on her front lines.
