TO BE HERO X Japan Premiere Features Star-Studded Voice Cast

Yoshitsugu Matsuoka

Matsuoka voices Little Johnny, who teams up with Big Johnny. Trying hard not to spoil anything, he gave a hilariously vague comment: “Something happens, and then something happens.” Uchiyama asked, “Do you voice both characters?” to which Matsuoka quickly replied, “No.” When the mood got tense due to potential spoilers, he muttered, “Koki-san, you’re scary like this…” Uchiyama responded with, “I was just curious!”

As for his personal hero, Matsuoka wrote “あきら いしだ” (Akira Ishida) in hiragana on a flip board. When asked why, he said, “I felt it was too presumptuous to write it in kanji.” Miyano jokingly said, “You mean NON STYLE’s Ishida?” (referring to a Japanese comedy duo), and Matsuoka flailed, “No, not him!”

Natsuki Hanae

Natsuki Hanae, who voices NICE—a perfect hero who embodies everyone’s ideal—named Miyano as his personal hero. “The protagonist of the first anime I really got into was voiced by Mamo-san,” he said. Miyano coyly asked, “That one from ‘That High School, That Club, That Tamaki,’ right?” (clearly referencing Ouran High School Host Club), to which Hanae responded gleefully, “Yes!” Hanae admired Miyano’s posture during recording and tried mimicking it, describing it as “like finishing a bowling throw.” Miyano then recreated the pose, explaining, “When I play X, I naturally adopt his stance and movement—it’s part of becoming the character.”
