Subaru Kimura appears in the film "Black Showman"

Voice actor Subaru Kimura , known for his role as Gian, also known as Takeshi Goda, in the popular anime series " Doraemon ," appeared at the stage greetings event for the completion of the film "Black Showman" (directed by Ryo Tanaka, to be released on September 12th) held at TOHO Cinemas Roppongi (Minato Ward, Tokyo) on August 26th. Kimura, who plays Kashiwagi Kodai, a classmate of Kamio Mayo, played by Arimura Kasumi, in the film, revealed his struggles, saying, "There's a scene where I have to punch someone. That punch is surprisingly difficult."

Kimura said, "I normally work as a voice actor, and have had countless experiences of hitting people in anime. I've hit my classmates a lot," and reflected on filming, saying, "It's difficult to actually hit someone, so I had to think about how to make it look like I was hitting someone. It didn't work out well, so we had to do several retakes, but I think I was able to hit them well in the end."

The event was attended by the main cast, including Fukuyama Masaharu, Arimura Kasumi, Ryo Narita, Ikuta Erika, as well as comedy trio Hanako's Akiyama Hiroki, Inukai Atsuhiro Inukai, Okazaki Sae, Ito Atsushi, Namase Katsuhisa, Nakamura Toru, and director Tanaka.

The film is based on a novel by Higashino Keigo. Former junior high school teacher Kamio Eiichi is murdered by an unknown assailant. His daughter, Kamio Mayo (Arimura), who was due to be married in two months, receives the sudden news of his death and returns to her hometown. Hoping to find out the truth about why Eiichi was killed, Mayo is approached by her uncle, Kamio Takeshi (Fukuyama). Armed with his exceptional magic tricks, his wicked sleight of hand, and his mentalist-level skill at observing people and leading questions, Mayo takes on the mystery of the murder... this is the story.
