Bartender: Glass of God Introduces Kazuhara in a New Visual

Ryuichi Kazuhara

Naoya Uchida commented on the upcoming role:
Kuzuhara has the impression of being a stoic and strict person who always strives for perfection, so I was conscious of a calm and collected tone without showing any emotional ups and downs.
In the previous anime adaptation, Kuzuhara was played by the late Iemasa Kayumi, who I loved, so I feel proud that I was able to take over that role.
Please enjoy the lives of the various bartenders that appear in this work.
