Chikahiro Kobayashi, Haruka Shiraishi, and Other Cast Members Gather! 'Golden Kamuy' Sapporo Beer Kōjō-hen [Part 1] Stage Greeting Report

As the conversation turned to the eight-year history of the series, Seki, who joined in the fourth season of the TV anime, spoke of his own unique struggle.

Kobayashi and the other cast members were surprised when Seki revealed, "I auditioned for the first season but didn't get the role." He continued, "I auditioned every time but kept failing, and I thought it wasn't meant to be, but then I got the role (of Pirate Fusatarou), so I have a particularly deep sense of emotion," which drew applause from the audience.

Next, the topic moved to Superior Private Usami, who has a highly memorable role in "Sapporo Beer Kōjō-hen [Part 1]." Matsuoka spoke with some difficulty, saying, "When I got the role (in the audition), a certain scene hadn't even been drawn in the manga yet..."

His slightly unnatural movements at that moment led to a tsukkomi (sarcastic retort) from other voice actors: "Could you please stop that kind of hand movement (up and down)?" Matsuoka hastily retorted, "That wasn't my intention!" which drew laughter from the audience.

When Nakata commented on Usami's perverse nature, saying, "I initially didn't think he was that perverted, but it just kept getting bigger," Matsuoka shared an anecdote: "While recording a certain episode, I bumped into Nakata-san in the restroom, and as he was leaving, he whispered 'Pervert' into my ear..." This story greatly energized the venue.
