≪Group Introduction≫
■Kimengumi
A five-member group consisting of Rei Ichidō, Gō Reietsu, Kiyoshi Shusse, Jin Daima, and Dai Monohoshi, who met in junior high school. They have been held back in junior high. They embrace being "busaiku" (unattractive) as their "individuality" and proudly identify themselves as such. With the motto "Rather than becoming a cog in society's wheel, let's become the seasoning that adds flavor to the world," they use their "individuality" to do eccentric things and constantly surprise those around them.

Rei Ichidō (CV: Tomokazu Seki)

Leader of Kimengumi. Known as "Mayunashi no Rei" (Rei Without Eyebrows). His family runs a toy store. Skilled at perverted movements. Though often scolded, he has a face and personality that doesn't make enemies.

Tomokazu Seki Comment

Q. Please give a message to the viewers!
Back when "Kimengumi" was hugely popular, I was going through my student days alongside it. I admired and longed to play with the Kimengumi members, Yui-chan, and Chie-chan! To think that I would get to play Rei Ichidō-kun! I'll enjoy being a pervert together with the new Kimengumi members (laughs).

Q. If you could return to your student days, what would you do?
Dance and musical instruments! Especially instruments! I could do it even now, but I wish I had started back then and kept it up! My parents were right! Just as my mother said, I now want to do it!

Gō Reietsu (CV: Shunsuke Takeuchi)

A member of Kimengumi. Known as "Manako no Gō" (Gō of the Eyes). His family runs a liquor store. His trademark is his thick body hair. He deeply loves professional wrestling and occasionally applies techniques.

Shunsuke Takeuchi Comment

Q. Please give a message to the viewers!
I'm Takeuchi, who will be playing the gakuran-afro character, Gō. Being able to play Gō-kun feels like some kind of destiny, and I'm happy about it. Once, a certain senior directly above me said at an izakaya, "Take, raise your voice! (in a deep bass)." I'm approaching the recording wondering if this is what they meant.

I intend to try various approaches to make Gō-kun an immortal character, not a doomed one. Shine bright, maroon gakuran! Thank you very much.

Q. If you could return to your student days, what would you do?
I would start small-scale investing beginning at 100 yen. I'd buy Bitcoin at the timing when people started saying "buy it now." Since gold continues to rise, I'd purchase it through installments. I'd like to complete my ideal portfolio.

Kiyoshi Shusse (CV: Yoshitsugu Matsuoka)

A member of Kimengumi. Known as "Mukiba no Kiyoshi" (Kiyoshi with Protruding Teeth). His family runs a public bathhouse. Surprisingly sensible among the many perverts in Kimengumi. Fundamentally serious, but a womanizer and a hardcore pervert.

Yoshitsugu Matsuoka

Q. Please give a message to the viewers!
I'm Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, who will be playing Kiyoshi Shusse. The recording site is chaotic with so many people, but it has tremendous energy! It has an atmosphere like "anything goes!" (laughs) I think this will be a work where you can feel that energy, so I hope you'll enjoy it!

Q. If you could return to your student days, what would you do?
I think my past self created who I am today, so I'd like to spend the same everyday life without changing anything.
