Cast Comments
- Ryoko Shiraishi (Hiroshi): “I’m so happy to be playing Hiroshi Tateno in the modern adaptation of Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube! Thank you for your support! With Okiayu-san at the center of it all, there was a reassuring sense of stability. Even though I was nervous, I still felt like there was a warm atmosphere on set. I’m giving my all to portraying Hiroshi, who is a cool (hopefully? lol) character with a strong sense of justice. The show is airing late at night, so you might end up too scared to sleep… but I still hope you’re looking forward to it!”
- Aya Suzaki (Kyoko): “I never imagined that a future like this was waiting for me back when I watched Nube every week on TV as a kid. It really feels like a dream come true! The cast is also full of people from that generation, and they were so friendly with me outside of the studio too. I think we have made a scary, engaging anime that adults like me who grew up loving Nube and the new generation can equally enjoy.”
- Tomoyo Kurosawa (Miki): “Finally, the reveal is here. I generally do as I like during work, but when I calm down, I remember the pressure to live up to my amazing predecessor, the great Tominaga-san, and go weak in the knees. I will keep taking this role seriously and treat it with care. Thank you so much for your continued support!”
- Ryota Iwasaki (Katsuya): “I have loved Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube since I was a child! Also, I never even dreamed I would get to play Katsuya Kimura! Everyone working on set, from the staff to the cast, is a big fan of the original work, so I’m happy we can share our Nube Love and Nube Passion with all of you!”
- Shiho Kokido (Makoto): “Being able to be a part of a series as beloved as Nube is like a dream. Maybe even the work of a yokai? I hope this modern version of Nube also becomes a memorable work that captures everyone’s hearts.”
- Aya Endo (Ritsuko): “I had so much fun recording alongside my fellow castmates who had also once wanted to be one of Nube’s students. Of course, I was one of those kids too, but I didn’t even dream that someday I would be Nueno-sensei’s coworker.”
- Ai Kakuma (Yukime): “To think I would get to meet Nueno-sensei someday as that Yukime-chan, it’s a total shock! I hope everyone enjoys this all-new Nube!”
- Toshiyuki Morikawa (Tamamo): “I am so happy to be able to reprise the role of Nueno-sensei’s arch-rival and old enemy Tamamo. I’ve already been practicing my lines as the fox demon himself (laugh). Everyone, please wait a little longer, and adios!”
