The ninth episode of the completely new series "Dragon Ball DAIMA", based on the popular manga by the late Akira Toriyama, "Dragon Ball", was broadcast on Fuji TV on December 6th, and a new character, Majin Kuu, appeared at the end. It was revealed that the demon Kuu was born from the research of Dr. Arinth and the great witch Marva, and is played by Tomokazu Seki.
Seki commented, "Appearing in Dragon Ball has been my ambition since before I became a voice actor. After I dreamed of it, I auditioned several times, but it was a history of failure every time. But I finally passed and was able to appear with great anticipation! I finally got in! That's how it felt. The character is shrouded in much mystery. Please keep an eye out for his performance!"
