Cast Comments

Hatanaka Tasuku (Julio Roman)

“I never imagined I’d get to be part of The Prince of Tennis! I’m very nervous, but Julio Roman is a fascinating character. I’ll do my best to deliver his radiant presence like the Spanish sun. Thank you!”

Kawashima Reiji (Mars de Colon)

“I’m truly happy to join the history of Tenipri with its overwhelming passion! Facing Mars of Spain, I’ve been agonizing over how to portray this beautiful character. I’ll give it my all to carve my name into this history alongside Mars. Please look forward to a hot and beautiful tennis match that exceeds your expectations!”

Nagaoka Ryuho (Silva Serra Bambieri)

“I was genuinely delighted when I heard I’d be playing Silva Serra Bambieri. It’s an honor to be part of a world loved for so many years. Bambieri is quiet and cool, but I feel he holds a burning passion inside—a very appealing character. I’ve carefully brought out his charm, so please look forward to his appearance!”

Han Megumi (Seda)

“Becoming a Prince of Tennis has always been my dream. Since childhood, I’ve longed for this world. Eventually, it became a dream shared with my close friends. I auditioned with the thought that this might be my last chance, and I worked with my manager to prepare. The Spain match in the original story made my heart burn. I’m proud to be involved as Seda under the name of God. The Spain cast is full of strong performers. I’m grateful to work with seniors like Junko Minagawa (Echizen Ryoma) and cherish all the connections that led me here.”
