MAO and Koji Ishii, who will be participating as a voice actor, have expressed their delight.
■MAO (Voice of Valcure)
I’m MAO and I was chosen to play the role of Valcure. Valcure is captivating, and yet I also feel she is a little endearing, too. I’m happy to be able to play such an interesting character! Keep an eye out on how she impacts the story of this series, and of course to her unique combat style in the action scenes. Please look forward to it!!
■Koji Ishii (Voice of Mephisto)
To think that I would act in the iconic Ultraman series! As a fan of the science-fiction series Ultraman since it first aired, there is no honor greater than this. I wish I could boast about it to my younger self. This modern anime ULTRAMAN feels more real in its portrayal than the original years ago. I implore you to watch and see for yourself how much we have captured the original sense of fear you experienced as a child.
