Hiroshi Tanaka
Black-haired everyman specialist
Capable, practical and reliably ordinary on command. Hiroshi’s craft is making impossible events look like they are happening to the most normal person in the room.
Call sheet
Cast
They are not anime archetypes who secretly behave differently. They are actors. The archetypes are their jobs.
Main cast
Yuki Suzuki
Blonde genre veteran
Dry, experienced and almost impossible to embarrass. Yuki has worked across enough romantic, glamorous and ridiculous productions to know exactly where the practical problems are hiding.
Daichi Kobayashi
Battle-shounen specialist
Intense, competitive and deeply serious about the craft of exaggerated performance. If a scene requires a power-up scream, Daichi has notes.
Mika Sato
Blue-haired kuudere specialist
Sociable and perceptive off camera; extraordinarily controlled on it. Mika can move a performance by fractions while everyone else argues over whether her expression changed at all.
Aiko Tanaka
Pink-haired reaction specialist
Energetic, technically minded and extremely serious about stylized acting. Aiko treats the perfect shocked reaction with the concentration other actors reserve for Shakespeare.
Nao Ito
Creature & supernatural performer
Quiet, observant and impressively ordinary off set. Nao’s work spans unusual bodies, non-human movement, prosthetics, wires and roles that do not fit neatly into ordinary human categories.
Kenji Yamamoto
Silver-haired veteran
A calm, dependable journeyman with the inconvenient habit of looking much younger than his experience suggests. Casting departments make that everyone’s problem.
Reiko Nakamura
Purple-haired prestige specialist
Theatrical, ambitious and genuinely formidable. Reiko brings serious dramatic technique to productions that do not always return the favour.
Taro Yamada
Background professional
The extra you have definitely seen before and almost certainly cannot place. Yamada’s finest work is disappearing into a scene without ever looking like he is trying to disappear.
Recurring / supporting
Reika Yamamoto
Celebrated veteran actress
Elegant, warm and professionally formidable, with decades of experience across changing eras of production technology and performance.
