■ Toshiki Watanabe: Role of Edgar Redmond

My name is Toshiki Watanabe and I will be in charge of the role of Edgar Redmond. When I was told about the audition, the first thing I thought was, “The boarding school arc has been made into an anime!? We did it!” I am very happy to be able to be involved in this work that I love in this way. As a fan, I’m looking forward to the broadcast, and I’ll do my best to make Edgar even more loved by the fans.

■Junya Enoki: Role of Lawrence Brewer

My name is Junya Enoki and I will be the voice of Lawrence Brewer. “Black Butler” has been a popular work since I was a student, so I’m happy to be able to appear in it. The recording was also done with great teamwork with the P4 members, so we appreciate your cooperation!

■Shunsuke Takeuchi: Role of Herman Greenhill

I’m Shunsuke Takeuchi, the voice of Herman Greenhill. “Black Butler” is a work that he has been exposed to since his student days, so I’m happy to be able to participate this time.
This time, the setting is a school, so I went into the recording process thinking about what would have happened if there were students like this when I was a student, and what it would be like if I had entered this school. Please be sure to support Greenhill, who is in charge of P4’s body.

■Tatsumaru Tachibana: Gregory Violet

Thanks to my older sister’s influence, I’m of the generation that was totally hooked on “Black Butler,” so I’m really honored that one day I’ll be starring in it! Violet is a type of character that I have never played in my acting career, so I am having a lot of fun playing it. I’m also excitedly waiting for the broadcast! Thank you for your support for the anime “Black Butler – Boarding School Edition”!
