New information about the anime series Dragon Ball DAIMA, set to premiere on October 11th at 11:40 PM, has been revealed. The voice actors for new characters have been announced: Showtaro Morikubo as Goma, Junya Enoki as Deges, and Yoko Hikasa as Dr. Arins.

The ending theme has been decided as "NAKAMA," a collaboration between Zedd and AI(Japanese Singer), with Zedd and AI composing the music and AI handling the lyrics and vocals. Additionally, C&K and AI will appear at the Dragon Ball 40th-anniversary event "Dragon Ball DAIMATSURI," to be held at Tokyo Big Sight in October. At the event, the first episode of Dragon Ball DAIMA will be screened along with a stage greeting, and the opening theme "Jakajan" and the ending theme "NAKAMA" will be performed live for the first time.

Dragon Ball DAIMA is a completely new anime series written by Akira Toriyama. He has been deeply involved in its creation, including the original story, character designs, and setting designs for vehicles, monsters, and background characters. The story follows Goku and his friends, who have been shrunk by a mysterious conspiracy, as they venture into an unknown, magical world in search of a solution. This marks the first Dragon Ball TV anime in six years, following the end of Dragon Ball Super in March 2018, and it is the first to be aired during late-night hours.

Showtaro Morikubo's Comment:
I'm extremely happy to be part of Dragon Ball, a series I've been familiar with since both the manga and anime started. It's such a luxurious production, and I hope everyone enjoys the grand story and cast. This time, Goku and the others will face some serious challenges!

Junya Enoki's Comment:
I was surprised and excited when I heard I got the part after some time had passed since the audition. With Toriyama-sensei personally writing the story, Dragon Ball is being reborn as Dragon Ball DAIMA in this Reiwa era, and it feels 100% Dragon Ball! I think fans of all ages will enjoy it, so please make sure to watch!

Yoko Hikasa's Comment:
When I was told I got the role of Dr. Arins, I was shocked—like, why me? Is this okay? I was more surprised than happy! Dragon Ball is something I watched as a child, and to think it's still going strong even as an adult makes me wish it'll continue for another 20 or 30 years. I'd love for people to watch Dragon Ball DAIMA over and over, passing it down from family to family. I'm so excited for its release!

AI(Singer)'s Comment:
When I first saw the teaser and heard a new Dragon Ball series was coming, I was so excited! Then, when I was told that my song would be the ending theme, I couldn't believe it—I cried out of sheer happiness! I'm still nervous until it actually airs, but I can't wait to share this news with my kids and Dragon Ball-loving friends. I'm so grateful and glad that I've kept singing all this time.
