On October 11th, voice actress Yoshino Aoyama , who plays the main character Hitori Goto in the anime " Bocchi the Rock! ", based on the four-panel manga by Hamaji Aki currently serialized in "Manga Time Kirara MAX" (Houbunsha), served as one-day police chief at Kanazawa Police Station in Kanazawa Ward, Yokohama City, where the anime is set. Due to rain on the day, the planned crime prevention campaign at Dorogame Park was canceled, but the appointment ceremony for one-day police chief was held at Kanazawa Police Station, where Aoyama appeared in a police uniform. Kanazawa Police Station Chief Masahito Kajiya asked Aoyama to "conduct activities to raise crime prevention awareness in the city," and presented him with a letter of appointment.
As his first task as Kanazawa Police Station's one-day chief, Aoyama made three "Declarations for a Safe and Secure City": "Children's safety and security," "Never be fooled by special frauds," and "Beware of vehicle thefts."
Aoyama commented on his impressions of wearing the uniform, saying, "Putting on the uniform makes me feel like I'm standing tall. It makes me want to protect the country (laughs)." He also appealed to the residents of the ward, saying, "SNS is a fun and familiar tool, but there are also cases of malicious people trying to deceive people, so I want everyone to be careful." Aoyama patrolled the ward in a patrol car and received a letter of appreciation at the end, successfully completing his duties as police chief for the day.
" Bocchi the Rock!" is a music manga that has been serialized since 2018. The story is about Hitori Goto , a lonely girl who loves the guitar, who ends up joining a Kessoku Band led by Nijika Ijichi through an unexpected turn of events. The TV anime aired from October to December 2022 and gained popularity. It has also been announced that a second season of the anime will be produced.
