New Cast Announced for 'Blue Lock' Season 2: Eiji Mikami as Yo Hiori and Sho Hatano as Nijiro Nanase; Character Designs Revealed

Eiji Mikami's Comment

Yo Hiori

Yo Hiori (C) Muneyuki Kaneshiro, Yusuke Nomura, Kodansha / "Blue Lock" Production Committee


Q1. Impressions of the Work
When I first encountered this series, it struck me deeply, as it resonated with my career as a voice actor. As someone also pursuing a dream, the determination and passion of these egotists moved me repeatedly. This strong will is something I realized I was missing. I am truly honored to be part of Blue Lock, a series that has given me such insights.

Q2. Impressions and Enthusiasm for the Character
I thought he was a charming character. At the same time, unlike the other members of Blue Lock, I felt there was a sense of distance, as if there was a wall between him and soccer. I want to express this "distance from soccer" carefully. I will do my best to keep up with Hiori and the other characters! I'm both nervous and excited!


Sho Hatano's Comment

Nijiro Nanase

Nijiro Nanase (C) Muneyuki Kaneshiro, Yusuke Nomura, Kodansha / "Blue Lock" Production Committee


Q1. Impressions of the Work
I had watched the first season of the TV anime and felt it was a work full of humanity. The characters encounter soccer in various environments, and their efforts sometimes pay off, while other times they are crushed... I have the impression that it portrays these moments with both passion and cruelty.

Q2. Impressions and Enthusiasm for the Character
Nijiro Nanase has a straightforward and bright personality! He speaks in a dialect, which adds a cute charm. His thoughts and feelings are often visible in his expressions. I want to portray Nijiro's unique traits with sincerity. I'll do my best to live each moment with Nijiro!
