Stecasse-King

Stecasse-King

cv.Tetsuya Kakihara

A "Sorcerer of Sound" who covers his opponent's ears with the headphones on his feet, which emit a deafening noise, destroying not only their eardrums but also their brain.

Springman

Springman

cv.Hiroyuki Yoshino

He specializes in tricky attacking techniques that take full advantage of his entirely spring-made body, rhythmically pouncing from all directions with leaping power and instantaneous force that defy common sense.

Mr. Khamen

Mr. Khamen

cv.Noriaki Taniyama

Nicknamed the "Devil of the Nile," he fights by confounding his opponents with a variety of mysterious secret techniques passed down from ancient Egypt, such as making his body disappear from the neck down and floating in the air with just his head.

As one would expect, he specializes in underwater combat, but he also possesses numerous ingenious techniques that utilize "water" as a starting point, making his battles on land appear as if they were underwater. He can freely manipulate the water he spews from his mouth like a fountain. He also has a past victory against Robin Mask.

The Mountain

The Mountain

cv.Koumeii Kanuka

A Rocky Chojin who specializes in physical attacks that relentlessly crush his opponents, taking advantage of his massive body that is not only rough and hard but also boasts a weight of one ton.

cv.Akio Otsuka

A large man who exudes an exceptionally strong aura of intimidation even among the Perfect Large Numbers Corps. He holds the title of "Perfect Warrior," which implies that he has mastered all martial arts.

Max Radial

Max Radial

cv.Chikahiro Kobayashi

A member of the Perfect Large Numbers Corps who earned the title of "Perfect Shredder" for mastering a gruesome attack that involves pressing his opponent against the giant tires on his shoulders and spinning at high speed, tearing their skin apart.

Turbomen

cv.Kenji Nojima

A Perfect Chojin with a body made of machinery.

His sharp fang attacks not only cause his opponents to bleed but also have a wide range of applications, such as biting to immobilize them and then developing into a unique throwing technique. Another major strength he possesses is the sense of smell, which is ten quadrillion times that of a human, allowing him to detect the presence of opponents outside his field of vision.

Crushman

Crushman

cv.Yusuke Tomioka

Holding the title of "Perfect Palm" in the Perfect Large Numbers Corps, his ultimate finishing move involves enclosing and crushing his opponent by closing all six steel plates called "Iron Glove" that open and close from his back. Although it appears as if he is carrying heavy equipment on his back, his movements are swift.

Marlinman

Marlinman

cv.Yoshiyasu Otaka

A half-fish Chojin who specializes in underwater battles. He has been given the title of "Perfect Spike" in the Perfect Large Numbers Corps for his ability to instantly pierce through his opponent's heart with his sharp, long upper jaw, like that of a marlin, causing instant death.

Kinnikuman Role

Mamoru Miyano

I am honored to be playing the role of "Kinnikuman" this time. I never even dreamed that something like this would happen to me, to the point where I think it's a lie that I even said this. It's a legendary work that everyone has known since they were little, and maybe I was watching the re-runs, but I have loved it since I was a kid, and I can still sing the numerous "Kinnikuman songs" like they're imprinted in my memory. I was honored just to be able to audition, and when I heard the decision, I felt a lot of pressure, but they also gave me the opportunity to talk with Akira Kamiya beforehand. We talked a lot... about that soul, mindset, and "love" for Kinnikuman. I think I've shared, resonated with, been given, and properly inherited a lot of it...! I will face the role and take it on with sincerity. The love for "Kinnikuman" is overflowing from all the cast and staff already at the site! So please look forward to it!

Meat-kun Role

Sumire Uesaka

I'm Sumire Uesaka, and I'll be voicing Meat-kun in "Kinnikuman" this time! I didn’t even dream that the day would come when I could participate as a cast member in "Kinnikuman," which I was obsessed with since childhood, immersing myself in manga, anime, and character songs! I still can't believe it. I love Meat-kun, who always sincerely believes in and supports Kinnikuman! I'll do my best to convey to everyone the charm of Meat-kun, who is cute, clever, and full of courage! Please look forward to the new legend of "Kinnikuman"! I'm really excited...!!

Terryman role

Daisuke Ono:

It's a work that we all went through in our childhood. Even now that we're adults, talking about Kinnikuman gets us fired up like nothing else. Laughing with a "ka-ka-ka-ka." Thrusting our arms up with a "ke-ke-keh." Shouting "u-ra-raah." That alone was enough for us to become friends. We could laugh like idiots, clash with each other for real, and get fired up without any specific reason. The recording studio is overflowing with the power of friendship between the cast members. I'll pour all the passion I received from Kinnikuman into Terryman.

Robin Mask role

Katsuyuki Konishi

I've been reading "Kinnikuman" since I was a child. Every week, I read it with excitement and anticipation. I bought a lot of Kinnikuman eraser figures.
I never thought there would be a chance to voice over in Kinnikuman! Even more, the role is Robin Mask, the leader of the Justice Chojin! There is no greater honor than this. At the same time, I'm feeling an incredible amount of pressure.
The entire staff is working hard to deliver the best entertainment to everyone in this Reiwa era!
Please support "Kinnikuman"!
Make sure to watch it!!

Warsman role

Yuki Kaji

I am Yuki Kaji, and I have been given the opportunity to voice Warsman in "Kinnikuman: The Perfect Orgin Arc." To be honest, I can hardly believe that I am greeting you like this. It is like a dream come true for me.

When I was young, I played the Famicom game with my father. Just like everyone else, Kinnikuman and the others were heroes to me. Among them, I was particularly drawn to Warsman's visual appearance and strength, even as a child. Now, thirty-something years later, I never imagined that the day would come when I would become a voice actor and have the chance to audition for this role! I recorded my audition with a commemorative feeling (LOL), thinking, "I'm just thankful to have the staff listen to my voice" (though, of course, I gave it my all!). When I received the unexpected news that I had passed the audition, I remember being more surprised than happy and being stunned for a while.

Several months have passed since then, and now that I've gone through multiple recording sessions... I feel like it gradually starting to hit me. And finally, the day of launching the first episode is approaching. To be honest, I am filled with anxiety and nervousness. But at the same time, I am confident that I have fully expressed the Warsman that I can portray in front of the microphone. I am grateful to the staff who chose me... and all that remains is the title to be delivered to the fans.

I sincerely hope that you will fully enjoy this "Kinnikuman" that has made a glorious return in the Reiwa era. I pray that not only the long-time fans of the series but also those who have newly developed an interest will all find it entertaining! Koh-hoh!!

Ramenman role

Tomokazu Seki

When I was in the first or second grade, I was directly hit by the huge fad of Kinnikuman, and now it's becoming an anime again! My heart leaped at the good news!
If my younger self, who desperately collected Kinnikuman eraser figures and was crazy about playing as Kinnikuman, heard about this, he would definitely be surprised!
I never thought I would have the honor of voicing Ramenman!
I want to live up to my younger self's expectations and play the role passionately and intensely as a member of Justice Chojin!
The studio during recording is lively and fun, as if everyone has returned to their childhood!
Please look forward to the anime!!

Brocken Jr. role

Jun Kasama

My first encounter with Kinnikuman was when I was in elementary school, watching a rerun that aired in the evening. I played with Kinnikuman eraser figures, played Muscle Tag Match, imitated the techniques of the Justice Chojin that I couldn't perform, and always longed to eat the beef bowl at restaurants (back then, beef bowl fast food restaurants weren't common).
For me, Brocken Jr. is the character whose impression has changed the most as I've grown older. Compared to other Chojin with overwhelming strength, he is called a "diamond in the rough." The way he faces adversity and snatches victory is something that resonates with me now that I'm an adult. It's a reality that I can empathize with precisely because I've grown up, and yet even amidst that, he never forgets his "pride" as a member of the Brocken family or his own "smartness." I truly love Brocken Jr.
The recording studio is full of senior voice actors I admire. There were many moments when I felt discouraged, thinking, "What can I do among these experienced casts with overwhelming abilities and careers?" and "My skill matches with them?" But each time, I was encouraged by Brocken and faced the challenge with the mindset of "risking everything!"
I hope that the Kinnikuman of the Reiwa era, and Brocken Jr., will reach the hearts of many people. The red rain of Berlin!

Geronimo role

Kensho Ono

I am Kensho Ono, and I have been given the opportunity to play the role of Geronimo.
I never dreamed that I would be able to participate in Kinnikuman! I still feel like I'm dreaming!
I will do my best to convey the excitement of pro wrestling and the spirit of friendship, effort, and victory, and to become a hero for children!!
Thank you for your support!!!

Buffaloman role

Hiroki Yasumoto

XThe Kinnikuman series that the young Yasumoto boy couldn't get enough of. Kinnikuman, which has continued to be a topic of conversation even after becoming an adult. I never thought I would be able to participate in the world of Kinnikuman. I am truly happy from the bottom of my heart. Moreover, I can’t be happier to be able to play Buffaloman, a Chojin who never runs out of things to talk about. I want to face it properly and fulfill my role so that I don’t get carried awayl. I look forward to working with you.

Blackhole role

Toshiya Miyata

I have been given the opportunity to play the role of Blackhole.
As Kinnikuman is a series with a long history, I felt a lot of pressure.
However, I approached the role by talking to Kinnikuman fans close to me, rereading the original manga from the beginning, and studying and researching in my own way.
To bring out the dark hero aspect of Blackhole, I worked closely with the director and staff to create the character.
During the voice recording sessions, I strained my voice and sweat a lot, and I believe I was able to fight as one with Blackhole. So, everyone, please look forward to it.

Stecasse King role

Tetsuya Kakihara

I am Tetsuya Kakihara, and I will be playing the role of Stecasse King.
I copied the performances of various characters.
I wonder if it would be recordings since it's Stecasse.
He's a cute guy, anyway. Please support him!

Springman role

Hiroyuki Yoshino

Just like others in my generation, I have certainly read the original manga, and I still personally consider myself to be the "fan" rather than the "cast"... but I did the recording. I played the role of a Chojin. I am grateful for this opportunity.

Mr. Khamen role

Kisho Taniyama

As someone who grew up when Kinnikuman was a huge fad, and as a voice actor, I felt that I absolutely had to be involved with the Kinnikuman project.
I believe I’m extremely fortunate to have been blessed with this opportunity. Mr. Khamen is is weak but at least, he’s slightly handsome. I will flamboyantly play this supporting role.

Atlantis role

Yasuhiro Mamiya

Ke ke ke----h!!
I, Yasuhiro Mamiya, have been given the opportunity to play one of the Seven Devil Chojin, "Atlantis"!
It's been many moons since I watched "The Battle Where Robin Mask Was Buried at Shinobazu Pond" on Nippon TV back when I was a snot-nosed kid who didn't even have hair on his di**. Back then, I loved the Chojin master-disciple partnership of Robin Mask and Warsman, and now, nearly 40 years later, I find myself playing the role of the hateful Atlantis who implanted a trauma in me at that time. I can't help but feel a sense of romance in that! (LOL)
In this work, "The Perfect Chojin Original Arc," I end up fighting against a guy named Marlinman, the "Perfect Spike" of the Perfect Large Numbers Corps, who looks like a fake marlin tuna, in the River Thames in England. Of course, this time too, my deadly "Atlantis Driver" and "Hydro-Acrobatic Mount St. Helens' Eruption" are growling fiercely!
Huh? What's that, you little punks? You want to "cheer for me"? Hey, hey, you idiots, "If you cheer for a devil, you won't grow up to be a decent adult!"
So, with that said!
Coming in July 2024!!
You bastards better watch the TV anime "Kinnikuman: The Perfect Origin Arc"!!

The Maunten Role

Mitsuaki Kanuka

When my manager told me about "Kinnikuman," I immediately replied, "I definitely want to be a part of it!"
Kinnikuman is a perfect fit for my generation, with manga, anime, movies, games, Kinnikuman eraser figures, action figures, etc.
I can't even count them all. I can appear in "Kinnikuman," which I love so much!
"This time, I'm joining that world!!"
I was really excited, and I'm still excited now!
I was in charge of playing "The Maunten," one of the Seven Devil Chojin.
Please look forward to "Kinnikuman: The Perfect Origin Arc"!!
I'm also looking forward to it as a fan!!
It's definitely going to be interesting!
Let's all continue to hype up the "Kinnikuman" world together!!
Mountain Drooooooop!!!!!

Ashuraman

Hiroshi Kamiya

Neptuneman

Tomokazu Sugita

Mayumi Kinniku Role, Prince Kamehame Role

Akira Kamiya

I'm really happy about the new Kinnikuman anime. Moreover, it's a double joy that my beloved Mamoru Miyano will be playing Kinnikuman. Looking back, in the previous title, I met wonderful casts. And it would not be an exaggeration to say that our teamwork created the title. I hope the cast will also experience the same joy this time.

Chairman Role

Toshio Furukawa

At last, the TV anime "Kinnikuman: The Perfect Origin Arc" will start airing in July. Following my role as Suguru in the previous series "Kinnikuman II," I will be appearing in this new series as the "Chairman."
Being able to appear in a popular and big-title anime like "Kinnikuman" is nothing short of adding another significant career achievement as a voice actor. Furthermore, I think one of the highlights of this series is that, in addition to the impressive lineup of voice actors who have appeared in past Kinnikuman series, many mid-career and young voice actors who will bring a fresh perspective to the work are also participating.
Please look forward to the latest Kinnikuman series, "The Perfect Origin Arc," which has evolved in every aspect, including story, visuals, music, acting, and direction♪
