■Kappei Yamaguchi comment
Wow! What kind of prize is this?!
Thank you so much to all the fans who were waiting for me, and to all the staff who gave me the opportunity!!!
“Ranma” is my roots! His life as a voice actor begins with Ranma and ends with Ranma! ” I will do such determination!!
■Megumi Hayashibara comment
Once upon a time, 35 years ago. Around the time the cast was announced, I was still a newcomer and received fan letters complaining to me, “Who are you?” and “Get off me now!”
After about three months of broadcasting, I received many letters of apology saying things like “It’s perfect for me” and “It’s interesting.”
Now is the NHS’s time. I’m sure there will be many complaints and pros and cons (lol)
“Go away, I’ll destroy everything!” said the red pigs in my head. “Calm down Ranma…”
studio! It’s crazy fun.
■Noriko Hidaka comment
I can’t believe I get to participate in “Ranma 1/2” again as Akane!
I am very happy to be able to make this announcement in this milestone year of my 40th anniversary as a voice actor.
Since we will be producing a completely new work from the first episode, we will do our best to fully express the charm of the original work together with the cast members who work as a family.
Whether you love Ranma 1/2 or are watching it for the first time, look forward to it!

C1. What is your understanding of this work?
All the characters are unique, and I thought the interactions between Ranma and Akane were very cute, although not simple.
I’m also jealous of how he turns into a panda when he’s wet.
C2 Express your enthusiasm for leading the opening theme!
I am honored to lead the opening theme for a work that is loved by so many people.
We are creating music that follows the world view of “Ranma 1/2”, so look forward to it.
Kappei Yamaguchi, Megumi Hayashibara, Noriko Hidaka, ano, director Kounosuke Uda, and Genma Saotome (panda), who is about 2 meters tall, were also seen at the “Grand Appearance” which was broadcast live.
