What is your impression of Ikémen Sengoku?
I've known about this project for quite some time now, and since I had the opportunity to voice an ikémen from another project, I am sincerely honored to voice Kanbei Kuroda as a new character for Ikémen Sengoku.
-
Tell us your first impression and charm point of Kanbei Kuroda, the character you portray.
Kanbei Kuroda was more of a military strategist than a warrior battling on the front lines. Although he did achieve significant success as a military advisor, I was most impressed by his shrewd ability to mask his true feelings on the battlefield.
He possesses a broad perspective, never affected by insignificant battles even when lives and nations are at stake. In fact, he finds other humans endearing, so voicing Kanbei was very rewarding and I'm sure you can feel that with my portrayal of him. -
Please tell us what points you focus on while voice acting.
I make sure to stay laser-focused while acting, while figuring out a good pacing strategy with a bit of unpredictability. (laughs)

Kanbei's tagline is Benevolent & Possessive. What kind of image did you have and what do you have in common with him?
He lives by his own ethics, which can be hard for others to understand, but at the same time he doesn't try to make others understand either. In this way, he can be described as a "free individual" although those around him somehow get influenced by him. That part is a little scary, but it's what also makes him so charming.
I'm the type of person who gets easily influenced unbeknownst to me, so finding common ground is a bit difficult. However, we might share the tendency to fall in love with someone we find truly admirable. -
Ikémen Sengoku is a story about time travel, so if you could, which period of time would you go to?
The Jomon period. Because the Sengoku era focuses on master-servant relationships and battling for the nation, I'm more interested in the complete opposite where people live without hierarchy or the concept of nations and states.
-
Lastly, please send a message to all the fans of Ikémen Sengoku.
I'm incredibly honored to portray Kanbei Kuroda.
While I am very intrigued as to how the new addition of the Ashikaga Forces will affect Ikémen Sengoku, I also hope everyone continues to love and support this game. Thank you for your support in advance.
