"October 2 announced the start of broadcasting"HUNTER × HUNTER"A press conference was held in the Tokyo studio. In addition to the main character, Mr. Ban Megumi who plays Gonn, he is Mr. Mariya Izawa of the role of Killer, Keiji Fujiwara of the role of Leorio, Miyuki Sawashiro of Mr. Clapica, Mr. Namikawa Daisuke of Hisoka role, and is the director Hiroshi God Shinata.

The original is a manga written by Yoshihiro Togashi of the Weekly Shonen Jump Series, and it is a work that has a lot of fans, although it tends to be abandoned in recent years, and it is about to be talked about when there is the next notice of publication in the opening holiday. In addition to being an animated television once in 1999, OVA has also been released in that trend, but this time it will be an animation with a whole new look.

At a press conference, a question and answer about the enthusiasm for the work and the scenes that each of them likes in the original work was done. Mr. Ban was feeling nervous about the pressure of a giant called Gon, and there were scenes where Mr. Sawashiro could say, "Please breathe in".

Moderator (Mihoko Yamashita Japanese TV announcer):
First of all, I would like to talk about self-introduction and enthusiasm to both director and cast. First of all I need your help from the director.

Director Kamishi Hiroshi (Director):
Hiroshi Gin Shinaka who will act as a director, thank you. Simply saying enthusiasm is that I want to make it a famous animation which is said to be "HUNTER × HUNTER in the case of Japanese TV". I will make it from now on with such a feeling that it would be nice to be a long-running animation without ending it in 1 year or 2 years.

Moderator:
Next, Mr. Fujiwara, please.

Keiji Fujiwara (hereinafter Fujiwara):
It is Fujiwara who will do the role of Leorio. Are you enthusiastic? ...... I am enthusiastic!

(All laughing)

Miyuki Sawashiro (hereinafter referred to as Sawashiro):
Please tell me more in detail (lol)

Fujiwara:
Since there is no doubt that it is such a remarkable work that there is only the interviewee so much, I would like to do my best not to be ashamed of it.

Moderator:
Then, Mr. Ise.

Mariya Ise (hereinafter, Ise):
It is Mariya Izawa as the role of Kirua. As the work that triggered the work of a voice actor in this way was "HUNTER × HUNTER", I dreamed that I would never have appeared on the origin "HUNTER × HUNTER" did. Among them, I am pleased that I play Kirua, a character that has a special character, and at the same time I feel the weight and pressure of responsibility, but I think that it would be nice to act Kirua lively like me.

Moderator:
Next, Mr. Ban, please.

Ban Megumi (hereinafter referred to as Ban):
It is Mr. Ban Megumi role of Gon Freaks. I'm tense all around for the first time because I play the big act called "HUNTER × HUNTER", the masterpiece of the epic masterpiece of Gon Freaks, but I am more excited than that. When I was in elementary school, my manga I bought for my first pocket money was "HUNTER × HUNTER" ... now ... ... (tearfully) I have tears coming out, but now I will store it without shedding ... ... It is a great honor. Gon, I will do my best, thank you.

Here, Mr. Ise also got tears as a result of the impressed Ban san, and Namikawa did not think and he saw a scene that "It is like a close interview!"

Sawashiro:
It is Sawashiro who will do the crabpica. What to say ......

Ban:
Let's cry together ~

Sawashiro:
(Laugh) As these two people (Ban and Ise) are like this heart-full and straight girls, I will be a little older sister than two people, calm down .... Clapica itself is also dark Because it is a deep character, I think that I should be able to fulfill my mission firmly so as not to be drunk much by the children's gathering place like Gon and Kirua.

Moderator:
Let me see Mr. Namikawa and Yamaba.

Namikawa Daisuke (hereinafter, Namikawa):
The circumstance is strange! (Laugh) It is Namikawa Daisuke of Hisoka role. This "HUNTER × HUNTER" which is a work that everyone is impressed, ... (I saw Mr. Sawashiro giving a tissue to Ban) May I ask him to ask?
As the name of "HUNTER × HUNTER", I thought that if I can hunt the feelings of people who see me, I do not think so.

Sawashiro:
Is it OK?

Namikawa:
I am still in the middle of talking (lol) I want to be "HUNTER × HUNTER" as well. OK, I slipped it off from the beginning, so there is nothing to be scared of!
Okay, tears of beginning. I will get sweat more and more.

Moderator:
First of all, I will ask two questions from the topic. First of all, it is a question to the director.
This time, the broadcast was decided on Sunday at 10:55 am, but is there anything particular about making the work?

directed by:
It is a popular work that everyone knows about, but since the beginning of the series has passed more than 10 years, even a few years have passed since the previous animation, people perhaps now per elementary school student maybe HUNTER × HUNTER from the beginning I wonder if she did not read it. That is the target. It is the first time that I do not betray it, because it is a very large fans work, but I think that it is a timeframe that means to acquire new fans by broadening footprints. I hope to see them in parent and child together.

Moderator:
Next, I will ask questions to everyone in cast. I would like to ask you the image of the work and the image to the character you can perform.

Fujiwara:
Of course the title was a work I knew, but I am currently reading a message by making a role. It is convinced that Leo Rio which is his role is such a feeling, it is convinced that I was casted, but in reality it seems that my age is teenagers ... ... Why is it a suit, is it okay for me to do it? Although I also thought, it is also a lively position in this character, so I think that we should make it lively.



Ise:
It's a work that I have been reading since the first episode, so the impression of the character is growing steadily. Kirua met Gon and grew up together, the world is spreading. Even he who was born and raised in a special environment slightly has a portion of the likelihood of a boys who thinks they want purely friends, I think that gap is such a splendid thing.



Ban:
As the work itself is drawn in family, friends, and enemies, a bond is described and I think that "a connection" is an important work as a fan. Gon is a child representative who has a strong sense of justice, is straight, emotion immediately goes out. I think that it is a pure child with innocence. I think that I will grow as not to be defeated by growth as it is a very rapid and early child.



Sawashiro:
Although I was seeing the work from the beginning of the series, I tried reading it again from the first in a book for the beginning of animation. It is a strange work with a tremendous amount of serifs, but in a place where the story moves, it breakthrough with emotional theory and the extent of the range remained as an impression. As a character, there is the impression that Kurapika is between the child and the adult, or the most unstable age, and although it is the thing which I have chosen himself, it is supposed to lead a very terrible life, the best in animation I hope I can play so that his feelings can be fulfilled.



Namikawa:
The image for the work ... ...

Sawashiro:
read?

Namikawa:
read.

Sawashiro:
How far have you read?

Namikawa:
Where until? I have a keen question. Now I am talking about 7 volumes of Hysoka. The image of the work is a dream, hope or straightness. I thought Gon 's innocent, intense taste was a part I wanted to cherish very much, and I was going through it for the first time as I read it. Ties and cooperation with surrounding characters was skillfully drawn, I thought that it was interesting to read. Regarding the role of Hisoka, I think that it will be good seasoning for straight works, I thought that it would be a goal with a point point.
Since I think that Hisoka statues are possessed in each, including those who know the original, I think that you can make an effort to respond to it and think that you can put out a new Hinsoka statue. It is a sharp point that I want to take care of the atmosphere when I play HISOKA in myself, I am keen to say that I should put out fears and throbbing things to give to Hisoka's people. Everyone, with lukewarm eyes ... No, I think that you can see it with warm eyes.



Moderator:
Thank you very much. Finally, it is a question to Mr. Ban who plays the leading character Gong. Mr. Ban, who was selected from more than 100 auditions, was there any advice from actress and mother Ban Keiko?

Ban:
Well, when you send me out of the house, say "Let's become a gon". "HUNTER × HUNTER" is a work that has a mindset, so I made an image inside myself, but my mom's push was great. I interpret it as a child as if there were various things in a simple word.

Moderator:
Thank you very much. Then the representative question is over. We will continue to accept questions from you, so please raise your hand.

Q:
In the story of the director, I can expect expectation that it is going to be a long series, but do you have any idea what you like to do, what Ban myself is looking forward to?

Ban:
In the part serialized just now, Gon is showing growth that is called "Mr. Gon", but when I came there for a long time while doing animation, Mr. Ban gon gon I would like to go. Among the long pieces, there are many encounters with actors and characters, so I'm looking forward to meeting each person.

Q:
I am asking the director. What are you expecting from those casting here?

directed by:
It is that this work is a new frame, so that as long as we are going to choose one to grow new together, Mr. Ban, who is a gon, is unanimously decided by all the staff. We are expecting that we can grow together with Gon and with the works, and since we are hanging around with Fujiwara-san, Ise, Sawashiro, Namikawa-san, we are worried about casting There is nothing there.

Q:
Did you have a favorite scene in the original, impressive scenes?

Fujiwara:
While reading still, it is difficult to cut out as "this scene" while continuing to create roles, but in learning the character the appearance scene of Leorio is also a place to impress the character, so make a role It was the most helpful reference.

Ise:
Kirua met Gon in the hunter exam, friends of the same age had been spending time together for the first time, but suddenly told the character called guitaracular to go home, for the first time there is a heart to others There is a scene to expel aspirations within, there is a strong impression there. I am reading from 1 volume by making it an animation, but my emotions come over Wow, it is my favorite scene.

Ban:
When I say whatever scene I like ... ... I can not choose the whole piece because I like it. At first I met the captain I met and Kirua, Leorio, Clapica and Hisoka met with each other remarkably. In the middle of serialization, it is a psychological depiction that is swaying with Kirua who can be said to be the best friend, although it can not be said anywhere, there is this scene so there is a coco, so all the impressions are strong is.

Sawashiro:
Just around the spider's edition (clan brigade edition), Clahibika is forced to choose between taking Gon and Kirua or taking himself, and in coma it says "I do not want to lose" at about three frames There is a scene that throws out his revenge. There was a time when I built it all the time during the serialization and I was always stocking myself forever than the series being serialized, and that moment is very impressive is. However, I personally thought that it was good to meet someone who is so important.

Namikawa:
When everyone goes to take a hunter test on a ship, the scene that Leonio and others grabbed and helped his legs jumped out the person who got stuck in the waves, who was about to fall out of the ship, got a character I think that it is an impressive scene that can be grasped with a single shot. Hisoka is a mysterious part, but there is a place like "no enemy" as an impression, so I can not see much of the effort scenes. Where Gon is aiming for Hysoka's license plate, Hisoka will eventually be taken, but I think that Hisoka was the first scene to be hit by something. It is such a face at the time, Gon 's working hard all along ... ....

Cast & director who challenges long fight from now. From the left are Namikawa-san, Sawashiro san, Ban, Ise, Fujiwara and Kamishina.
