It has been revealed that popular voice actor Nakamura Yuichi will be appearing in the movie version of the latest installment of the popular anime "PreCure" series, "Wonderful PreCure!", titled "Wonderful PreCure! The Movie! A Thrilling Adventure in the Game World!". Nakamura will play Daifuku, a rabbit who lives with Usayama Satoru. Daifuku never speaks in the TV series, but in the movie version he finally speaks and transforms into a human. Nakamura, known for his cool low voice as Gojo Satoru in "Jujutsu Kaisen", is likely to become a hot topic as he has been cast in the role of the cute Daifuku. It has also been revealed that Satoru will become one in spirit with the PreCure and transform into a "comrade who stands together against the odds".

Nakamura commented, "Daifuku was the cutest character I've ever played. His personality was something I'd played before, so I made use of that experience, but he also has a cute appearance, so I tried to express the contrast with his voice through sound. Satoru is the owner, but Daifuku is like an older brother to Satoru, and from Daifuku's point of view, he feels like he's 'watching over him,' so I tried to use a voice and acting that would convey that. I think everyone wants to know how animals feel and have a conversation, and I think Satoru has always wanted to talk to Daifuku. That's why I was so happy to be able to talk to Satoru as Daifuku." Terashima Takuma, who plays Satoru, said, "I had always imagined it would be great if Satoru could talk to Daifuku someday, so I was very happy, but at the same time, I was surprised. Satoru is a straightforward person who tends to show his emotions, so I was happy if that was naturally conveyed in his voice. In the scene where I talk to Daifuku for the first time, I felt like my own surprise was synchronized with Satoru's, so it was fun. As for Nakamura Yuichi playing Daifuku, I think it's wonderful casting, as he is a perfect fit for the role despite the gap! As for Satoru and Daifuku's transformation forms, time stopped the moment I saw the setting materials. Daifuku is so cute, isn't he? I was very happy to be able to face the challenge together with Precure and with Daifuku, who I can trust the most!"

The movie begins with Komugi, Iroha, and her friends becoming obsessed with the hugely popular game "Doki Doki Tanu Kingdom" and suddenly being sucked into the game's world. It has also been announced that PreCure characters from the 20th installment, "Spreading Sky! PreCure" and the 13th installment, "Maho Girls PreCure!", will appear. The film is directed by Miyahara Naoki and written by Kato Yoichi. It was released on September 13th.

The motif of "Wonderful PreCure!" is "animals" and the keyword is "Everyone's friends! Wonderful!". Set in Animal Town, a town where animals and humans live together in harmony, the film depicts the deep bonds that are woven between animals and humans, such as dogs and their owners, and cats and their owners, and interactions that transcend species. It is also the first time in the series, which began in 2004, that a "dog PreCure" will appear, which has been a hot topic. It airs every Sunday at 8:30 am on ABC TV and TV Asahi.
