I’m still working hard to be entrusted with another eccentric role, and since it’s an original work, I can’t see what the future holds. However, I’ll do my best to portray Jugemu with all my might. I hope you’ll enjoy it! Jugemu himself may seem gruff, but I’m sure he’s a good guy deep down… and I’m trying to portray him with that in mind. There’s a word that describes Jugem himself: “I’m a monster!” “Oh, yeah” is a no-no; he’s completely serious. We’re giving it our all! We hope you’ll look forward to it. ■Profile Affiliated with I’m Enterprise. Born September 17th. Originally from Hokkaido.

When it comes to Monster Strike, the strategic nature and depth of the battles are what really make it so appealing. This anime also powerfully depicts the intricate teamwork and heated battles, so I hope all the fans who play the game will enjoy it! ■Profile Affiliated with Sigma Seven. Born December 20th.
