It has been announced that KENN, a popular voice actor known for his work on TV anime series such as "Yu-Gi-Oh! GX" and "Idolish Seven," will appear in the Super Sentai series "No.1 Sentai Gozyuger" (TV Asahi, Sundays at 9:30 a.m.). He will play two roles: Goudeburn, the prince of ruin, and Bearkma, the partner of Gojupolar/Kuma Mashiro (played by Kimura Kaiki).
KENN said, "I'm KENN, and I will be the voice of Gudeburn and Bearkma. In the Super Sentai series, I have strong memories of Dengeki Sentai Changeman (1985-86), which I watched as a child. At the time, I often listened to the theme song sung by KAGE (Kageyama Hironobu). After that, when I grew up and entered the entertainment world, it felt like a dream to perform on the same stage as Kageyama Hironobu, but I never imagined that I would be involved in this (Super Sentai series) 50th anniversary production as a voice actor, so I am very emotional."
He played a monster in "Ressha Sentai ToQger" (2014-15), and said, "I was fortunate to play a monster in "Ressha Sentai ToQger," but when I heard that I would be taking on two roles in different positions this time, I was surprised because it's not something that happens very often. At the same time, I was very excited. Gudebaan is straightforward despite his worries. Bearkma is a sharp-tongued character but also has a kind side. I approach both roles with different acting styles and voice qualities, so it's fun to create these characters. I'm also getting a lot of stimulation from the style that's a little different from anime dubbing."
He addressed the viewers, saying, "Gojuger is a very memorable show for me, and I hope to continue to make it popular, so please continue to support us!"
A new chapter of "No.1 Sentai Gozyuger" begins with episode 16. A new visual commemorating the start of the new chapter has also been released. Along with the copy "The strongest (number one) is me!", Gojuu Polar and Goodeburn appear in large size. The Sentai Ring is also drawn in a frozen color.
