Shogo Sakata – Aki
“My name is Shogo Sakata and I will be playing the role of Aki Hayakawa. I have been reading “Chainsaw Man” since before I auditioned for the role. I love the realistic depiction of a world where devils exist and the moments when I feel the vividness of the people living in it… I think it is the happiest thing in the world to be able to perform in a work that I like. However, it is in such moments that I will do my utmost to deliver the best Aki Hayakawa to Chainsaw Man fans by keeping my feet firmly on the ground. Thank you very much for your support.”
Ai Fairouz – Power
“I’ve been fascinated by & loved Power’s unrestrained personality ever since I read the manga, so I’m really really happy to be able to play the role Chainsaw Man is a very avant-garde work that shows us something we have never seen before, full of unfathomable charm and madness”
Fairouz REALLY Got Into The Spirit
“It was announced during the live broadcast earlier, but I will be playing the role of Power in the TV anime “Chainsaw Man”.I’ve loved this work since the original work, so I’m really happy to be able to play my favorite Power-chan! !I’ll do my best with my papapa power at full throttle!looking forward to!”
Tomori Kusunoki – Makima
“Every day I prayed to the picture of Makima that hung in my house until the day I passed the audition.”
