Comment

Hello!

My name is Hayate Kajihara andI will be playing the role of Yasunobu Bando, a member of the Special Kaiju Reaction Detachment, SKaRD. 

I am very happy to be cast in the Ultraman series, a show with rich history and something I watched growing up. One of my dreams as an actor has come true.

I will do my best to serve you all as a pilot who knows more about machinery than anyone else and absolutely adores Earth Garon!

I want to make sure to portray Yasunobu Bando as I would and I promise to pour everything I have into Ultraman Blazar to make it the best possible show.

Thank you for your support.
