Natsuki Hanae, known for voicing Tanjiro Kamado in the anime "Demon Slayer", will voice Byun Diesel, a new partner character also known as Byundee, in the latest Super Sentai series 'Bakuage Sentai Bunbunja' (airing every Sunday at 9:30 AM on TV Asahi). Byun Diesel, a machine lifeform-type alien, will make his debut alongside Bun Violet(Sakito Homura) in episode 16, airing on June 16.

"Bakuage Sentai Bunbunja" follows the heroic team comprising Taiya Hando/Bun Red (Yuto Inouchi), Ishiro Meita/Bun Blue (Yuki Hayama), Mira Shifuto/Bun Pink (Miu Suzuki), Jou Akuse/Bun Black (Ryu Saito), and Genba Bureki/Bun Orange (Satoshi Soma). They, along with their reliable ally, the machine lifeform-type alien Bundorio Bunderas (known as Bunbun, voiced by Rica Matsumoto), join forces to defend Earth from the evil organization Hashiriyans.

The character Bun Violet/ Sakito Homura is played by popular young actor Yu Miyazawa, known for his roles in the drama 'My Dearest Self with Malice Aforethought' (2022) and the film 'OUT' (2023). He is managed by G-STAR.PRO, a talent agency known for representing many actors from the Kamen Rider and Super Sentai franchises. Determined that "this might be his last chance," Miyazawa auditioned with great resolve and successfully landed the role. Sakito, the character he portrays, is a "fixer" who travels the universe, solving all kinds of troubles from infrastructure breakdowns to political disputes and even children's quarrels.

Sakito enjoys the chaos, referring to complicated situations as "chaos" and deriving pleasure from them. Originally from Earth, he has returned after many years with his partner Byun Diesel. Using the Bunbun Controller, he transforms into Bun Violet. However, there is something different about him compared to the rest of the Bunbunja team. What are the true goals of Sakito and Byundee?

Miyazawa describes Sakito as a character with a large darkness in his heart, living desperately to wipe it away, resulting in a somewhat twisted personality. Despite this, he has a charm that makes him somewhat lovable. Byun Diesel, voiced by Natsuki Hanae, is a machine lifeform-type alien from the same planet as Bunbun. Previously a racer in the "Big Bang Grand Prix," he retired and became a fixer, eventually meeting Sakito. Their relationship is one of mutual trust, with Byun Diesel often calming Sakito's chaotic tendencies. Byun Diesel's distinctive speech and catchphrase "Byun!" when surprised or moved are notable traits. Together, they operate under the name "Bunbunja" as fixers and eventually encounter Taiya and the others.

Comments from Natsuki Hanae:
"I am Natsuki Hanae, and I will be voicing Byun Diesel, the partner of Bun Violet/Sakito Homura in 'Bakuage Sentai Bunbunja'. I never imagined I would be part of the Super Sentai series, which I eagerly watched every week as a child. I would love to tell my younger self about this. Now, as an adult with two daughters who turn four this year, I showed them the series when I was cast, and they became huge fans of 'Bunbunja'. Besides Byundee, I also voice the transformation item. It's deeply moving to think that my children can play with toys featuring my voice. I hope everyone will enjoy Byundee's cool yet playful nature, and support 'Bakuage Sentai Bunbunja'!"
