Setsuo Ito, the voice of Shigeo Kageyama (aka “Mob”) from, came firstAnime NYC is promoting the second season of the anime. With the third and final season currently airing, Crunchyroll and Warner Bros. Japan brings Ito back to prison to discuss his work on the beloved supernatural action comedy.
Introducing Ito, hosted by Crunchyroll Chris Han, wearing his character’s infamous monkey shirt. The majority of the panel consisted of Han asking questions, Ito answering, and a broccoli-themed quiz and prize giveaway at the end of the hour. When asked how it feels to return to a gangster role after being away for a few years, Ito said it will take a while to get back into gear, since it is The final season of the show, so there’s something sad and nostalgic about the occasion. Even so, recording these clips was fun. Ito tried to make his lines more fun to read this year, and after the recording was done, the crew gave all the voice actors muscle-training equipment as farewell gifts. In an interview ahead of the Season 3 premiere, Ito told people to look forward to the scene between Mob and Dimple in Episode 6. Now that the episode airs, it’s clear why Ito calls the climax of his acceptance “my most cherished moment.” Ito also said that Episode 8, which premieres on Wednesday, is another comedy to look forward to. What is Ito’s advice to Mob if he meets him in real life? “Be yourself and stay pure.” Ito said in his Do you have similar ideas to Mob yourself? “I didn’t think about anything,” he joked, but pointed out that was the age when he got into anime seriously through series like and , so it was a formative period for him in that regard. Ito fans are well aware; Han noticed Ito pointing out all the cosplayers he saw in the lobby over the weekend. Han also recommends people to follow Ito on Twitter and showcases a selection of tweets from Ito’s fan art Mob. Ito started painting at the age of seven and grew up surrounded by his father, who loved painting and encouraged his son to pursue art.

Drawing and voice acting aren’t the only pursuits fueled by his love of anime. He recently started sculpting a clay figurine for one of his favorite V-Tubers, Amamiya Kokoro (he spent two months on it, it still needs to be painted, but it looks very impressive). His love of rhythm games has also led him to create music of his own.

ITO: It does make me a little sad now that the end is in sight, but The fact that I had to play the character from beginning to end, especially in a long series where [an anime adaptation achieves] an ending is very rare and also in a manga series, so I was very happy and honored to be able to play this character from beginning to end. Personally, as a voice actor , your favorite vocal memory from the past six years?
ITO: First of all, I can only be with these amazing actors in this series Playing and acting because many of them were voice actors I saw and heard as a kid and I looked up to them as role models. So it’s a great honor for me to be able to perform on an equal footing with these amazing voice actors, and it’s definitely something that will stay with me for the rest of my voice acting career. Have you ever experienced Mob as a Inspiring character growth?
ITO:
Especially the Mob described at the beginning of season 3, When he was in trouble or struggling, he set out to find solutions on his own and take action. Sometimes it’s difficult; even as adults, we have a hard time finding solutions for ourselves. It’s not easy, so being able to see Mob go through that visually makes me feel like he’s grown up, and I respect him. Also, for Mob, the problem can’t be too small or too big. All the problems, he gave his all to solve them. is a fun show, but it can also be very emotionally powerful at times. Is there any scene in the play that makes you cry?
ITO: There is an episode of Season 2 [“Poor, Loney, Whitey”] Regan There was a press conference there, and what Mob said really touched me. It wasn’t what he did that moved me, it was what he said, so that feeling stayed with me. how did you come up with different variations The normal sound of a body mob? I’m specifically thinking about the deeper-sounding version of “Chad” from the third episode of this season. [There is a “Chad” mob toy on the table].
ITO: It also appears in the original manga, but objectively from other people’s point of view, The appearance of the Mob has not changed. The style changed because that’s how he saw himself, and it was reflected in the way he drew, so I tried to adapt to that art style and find the voice that best reflected that art style. You believe you have a supernatural body Experience it?
ITO:
No, I never have. Having said that… the closest I got was when my family had a dog and when the dog died my family said they heard the dog running around or they thought they heard it barking, sometimes I can feel the presence of dogs even when I know they are gone.
ITO:
I’d say maybe teleporting or moving things. Overall, I just want to pamper myself so I don’t have to do anything. I want to move things to my side so I don’t have to go out there to get them, or I want to teleport somewhere so I don’t have to travel all the way here. Just something to spoil me.
