Voice Actor Kentaro Kumagai Appears in the Anime 'OKITSURA'! Explosive Okinawa Talk with Shugo Nakamura! Okinawa Dialect Quiz Stumps Okinawa Native Nakamura with Repeated Mistakes!?

On ABEMA, "Say You To Yo Asobi Saturday [Nobuhiko Okamoto x Shugo Nakamura] #34" was broadcast on Saturday, February 15, 2025, from 10:00 PM to 11:30 PM.

In episode #34, Kentaro Kumagai, the voice actor for Isao Shimoji in the 2025 new winter anime "OKITSURA: Fell in Love with an Okinawan Girl, but I Just Wish I Know What She's Saying" which is being streamed on ABEMA as the fastest web release, appeared as a guest. Together with Shugo Nakamura, who plays the role of Tensuke Uema, they enlivened the show.

During the lively free talk about the behind-the-scenes of recording "OKITSURA: Fell in Love with an Okinawan Girl, but I Just Wish I Know What She's Saying" and the setting of Okinawa, the studio suddenly went dark. A voice from above accused, "You guys act like Tokyoites usually, but only pretend to be Okinawans in times like these. Aren’t you just 'business Okinawa voice actors'?" "We can't let you fake Okinawa voice actors who have sold your souls to Tokyo promote 'OKITSURA' any further!" "You will be challenged to complete three tasks that only genuine Okinawa voice actors can clear!" "And Nakamura, isn't there a wonderful cast of Racoon Dog voice actors in this work? You should also cooperate and help clear the tasks." With this directive, Okinawa native Nakamura, and Kumagai, who was raised in Okinawa from elementary school, along with Nakamura, took on three challenges to defend their status as Okinawa voice actors.
