About TO BE HERO X

Mamoru Miyano, who plays X—the top hero everyone knows but no one truly knows—kicked off the event by repeatedly shouting “Unshakable No.1.” The crowd's enthusiastic cheers seemed to satisfy him to the point that he began moving to his designated position early, prompting a witty jab from Nakamura: “What’s your character’s name?” With a sheepish grin, Miyano reintroduced himself properly: “I’m Mamoru Miyano, playing the Unshakable No.1, X,” prompting a burst of laughter from the audience.

Yuichi Nakamura

Yuichi Nakamura plays GHOSTBLADE, a cool and silent hero who carries out missions without uttering a word. His stoic demeanor and handsome face behind the mask make him popular in-universe. Introducing his role, Nakamura said, “As the name implies, I kill in silence.” He hinted at the character’s mysterious nature, saying, “I just heard something shocking from Nobunaga—apparently, my character was very active even in episodes where I didn’t speak.” Sakura chimed in, “You appeared in the LOLI arc too!” to which Nakamura replied, “I definitely spoke in that arc!” Sakura corrected him, “No, you didn’t say anything.” With a dumbfounded expression, Nakamura muttered, “That’s absurd…” drawing laughs with the idea of a character who shines without even speaking.
