About Grand Blue
Grand Blue follows the story of Iori Kitahara, who moves to a seaside town for university and stays at his uncle’s diving shop, GRAND BLUE. Expecting a beautiful ocean, a charming childhood friend, and an ideal campus life, he instead finds himself surrounded by an all-male, party-loving diving club. Along with his new friend Kohei Imamura, Iori embarks on a hilariously chaotic college experience filled with wild drinking parties and unexpected adventures.
The series, originally a manga serialized in good! Afternoon (Kodansha), has surpassed 10 million copies in circulation. It was adapted into a TV anime in 2018, followed by a live-action film in 2020 and a stage play.

Cast Comments
Aya Yamane (Sakurako Busujima)
"I’m Aki Yamane, and I’ll be voicing Sakurako Busujima! The recording sessions are so fun that it’s hard not to laugh. The lively atmosphere of the show is exactly the same in the studio! Outside the booth, you’ll find plenty of drinks, snacks, and merchandise (of course, we only toast after recording!). It’s such a vibrant and exciting place! I’ll do my best to bring the best version of Sakurako to all Grand Blue fans! Enjoy the show! Cheers!!"

"I’m Sumire Morohoshi, playing Shiori Kitahara. It was incredibly fun to dive into this energetic and laughter-filled team along with Shiori. I did my best to capture her essence and keep up with the show’s crazy energy. I hope everyone enjoys it! Thank you for your support!"

Yoshino Aoyama (Naumi Otoya)
"I’m Yoshino Aoyama, and I’ll be voicing Naumi Otoya. I’ve heard the legendary phrase, ‘Grand Blue is insane!’ so many times, and I never imagined I’d be part of this world myself! Every recording session is electrifying, thanks to the passionate performances of my senior cast members. Naumi is a bright, pure-hearted character who carries the ‘love’ part of the rom-com elements in the show. I hope his charm reaches as many people as possible!"
