★Yudai Takeuchi as Ryoma Echizen
Q. Impressions after the first unveiling event and future enthusiasm
When rehearsing for this unveiling event, there were a lot of things that were new to me, so I was worried and had some trouble, but thanks to the help from everyone at Seigaku and Higa, as well as the staff, I was able to make a lot of progress. I was very happy to be able to perform in front of the audience! I am very grateful to everyone at the company for making it such a happy experience.
Q. What I like about the character I play
When I read the original story, I felt that Ryoma looked the most like a middle school student, and I think that’s what’s cute about him. Ryoma is always curious and has a desire to improve, so I respect him and am proud to play him.
Q. (On behalf of the company) Looking ahead to the Higa performance
I think we will still face new challenges as we prepare for rehearsals for the Higa performance, but in order to improve one step at a time, everyone at Seigaku, Higa, and the entire company will work together to grow.

Q. What I like about the character I play
Kunimitsu Tezuka is my favorite character in the original work.

Q. (On behalf of the company) Looking ahead to the Higa performance
The match against Higa, which is called the dark horse of this tournament, will be the first match for us at Shinsei Gaku in the national tournament. I think everyone will be nervous about the first performance, but if we go into it with the awareness that we have inherited the baton from the 11th generation of Seigaku, we will definitely be able to defeat Higa, so we will try our best to defeat him. I want to. I don’t want to stay calm just because the opening party is over, but I think this is the real start for us, so I want to stay alert and approach the main performance. Thank you for your support.
