Katsuyuki Konishi will voice the protagonist Tanzaburo Tojima. To celebrate the anime’s announcement. Konishi took a photo of himself holding Kamen Rider’s mask, similarly to Tojima in the manga’s 13th volume. Konishi also shared a message for fans.
I’m Katsuyuki Konishi and I play the role of Tanzaburo Tojima. I originally liked Shibata-sensesi’ works and have been reading them for a long time. When I was also promoting this work in various places, saying, “This is interesting!,” I leaned about the anime adaptation and an audition for it. I recorded an audition tape while loosing my voice, and I was so happy when I received the result. The staff and cast worked with “tremendous passion” on the anime, and I think we brought out 120% or 200% of the charm of the original work by Sensei. Please look forward to the broadcast in 2025. Rider Punch!!!!
