New Characters

Leronira
A dealer in the Liar Game, hosting games where players compete to take money from their opponents.

He always conceals his identity behind a mask, conducting the games with calm composure and strict impartiality.

Mitsuo Tanimura
A lawyer whom Nao, forced to participate in the Liar Game and left at a loss, turned to for advice.

He becomes the catalyst that leads Nao to seek out the former genius con artist Akiyama.

In reality, Tanimura is part of the Liar Game, tasked with encouraging participants to join the game.

Kazuo Fujisawa
Nao’s homeroom teacher from her middle school days.

He showed her genuine care and compassion when she confided in him about her father’s illness and her worries about her future.

They meet again as players in the Liar Game.

Messages from the voice casts

Message from Kazuhiro Nakaya (voice of Leronira)

It is a great honour to take part in this work—a series I once devoured with such fervor!
To all those who will be watching:
We shall offer you the finest hospitality...
But this is a world where lies run rampant
—This is the Liar Game.
And when one speaks of hospitality...
Could there be a hidden agenda behind it...?
May each of you, through the game, uncover the truth for yourselves.
I eagerly look forward to the moment we meet.

Message from Nobuo Tobita (voice of Kazuo Fujisawa)

This time, I’ll be playing the role of a former teacher.
When money gets involved, it has a way of stirring up emotions you never even knew you had—and that can be quite a troublesome thing.
We’ve all heard stories—of people whose lives went downhill after winning the lottery, or of personalities completely transformed by sudden wealth...
Of course, this story is fiction.
But whether you enjoy it as someone else’s tale—or see yourself in it—is entirely up to you.
Will you still be the same “you” after watching this, as you were before?
Welcome to the world of the LIAR GAME.

Message from Yoji Ueda (voice of Mitsuo Tanimura)

It’s a true honour to take part in a series that has been loved for over 20 years.
Among the many characters, each with their own quirks and schemes, Tanimura gives off an unmistakable air of suspicion and sleazes the moment he appears.
As an actor, he’s a role full of flavor—challenging, yet immensely rewarding to play.
In the midst of all the nail-biting twists and turns,
I’d be delighted if you find yourself grinning mischievously along with Tanimura. (laughs)
