BORUTO TV anime. It’s a
dream come true. What will happen in the world Boruto’s father, Naruto, made in
the previous generation? What will they do? The mission at Three Man Cell, the
happy family... There’s so much I want to see. I hope to go on exciting
adventures with Boruto, Sarada, Mitsuki and the rest of the gang in my work. I
hope you enjoy BORUTO as much as you did NARUTO! Watch me be awesome!
・Voice of Sarada Uchiha, Kokoro
Kikuchi
Last year, I had wished I
could spend a little more time with Sarada, now that I was given the part. When
I learned that BORUTO would be given an anime adaptation, I was ecstatic, but
also a little terrified. I’m once again reminded of how much of a masterpiece
NARUTO is. I hope to contribute to Konoha’s amazing history in an honest and
careful way.
・Voice of Mitsuki, Ryuichi
Kijima
Naruto and his buddies
shared stories of grit, friendship, love and camaraderie, and created a bond
not just among themselves, but also with the audience. I hope to play Mitsuki
in a way that cherishes that bond, and creates new bonds with everyone in
BORUTO. I can’t wait to see who I’ll meet through Mitsuki!
・Voice of Naruto Uzumaki, Junko
Takeuchi
After fifteen years spent
watching over, cheering for and working with Naruto and his friends, they’ve
finally grown into adults. I’m filled with sadness and gratitude. However!
Konoha’s Will of Fire burns on! Boruto has been passed the torch, and they will
surely give us more to see as they grow up. It’s Naruto’s children’s turn to
tell their stories. It’s a new age in the world of ninjas, where trouble is
sure to brew. I hope you join me in rooting for Boruto and his friends in their
struggles, fights, friendship and growth!
