■Additional Cast Information & Comments

▼Gilbert Stein/Bert (Toshiyuki Morikawa)

He lives with his wife Hannah as Charlie's adoptive parent. An authority on chimpanzee research, he rescued Charlie from Eva, a dying pregnant chimpanzee. For Charlie's sake, he resides in a house with extensive grounds that connect to the forest.

[Toshiyuki Morikawa's Comment]
I am truly delighted to be playing Gilbert, Charlie's adoptive father. He is a person who possesses composure while also harboring deep affection for Charlie along with his wife Hannah. I was excited while performing, wondering how the movements of his heart would color the story. I hope everyone will enjoy the drama woven through Charlie's bonds and the profound themes. I sincerely look forward to meeting you all when it airs.

▼Hannah Stein (Rina Satō)

She lives with her husband Gilbert as Charlie's adoptive parent. A skilled lawyer, she takes great care to ensure that Charlie can lead a normal high school life.

[Rina Satō's Comment]
I was struck by the words of Charlie, a humanzee, and found myself reconsidering many things.
Hannah and Bert, who love Charlie more than anyone. Because this is a story where various circumstances intertwine, I value the everyday moments of "have a good day" and "good night," and being a mother.
As a mother with a son myself, I am raising my child while being lost and troubled every day.
Even though our circumstances differ, what we wish for is the happiness of our children.
I am approaching the recording while cherishing her love and character, overlapping myself with her.

▼Philip Graham/Phil (Yōji Ueda)

A deputy sheriff in Shrews. Due to a certain incident that occurred 10 years ago, he views Charlie as dangerous and believes he should not be left unchecked.

[Yōji Ueda's Comment]
I thought incidents that overturn conventional values had nothing to do with me, or that if they occurred, they would gradually spread from big cities, but then it becomes reality right before my eyes... What actions would one take at that moment? Phil is a man who, while being in a position close to the viewers' perspective, is forced to confront it on the front lines due to his profession. I find it very rewarding to portray how he wavers while gradually seeking balanced choices. It's a quick 30 minutes as you watch the drama's developments with bated breath. Please look forward to it.

▼Gale (Kaito Ishikawa)

A student attending Shrews High School, the same as Charlie and Lucy. He strongly resonates with the principles advocated by ALA.

[Kaito Ishikawa's Comment]
I'm Kaito Ishikawa, playing Gale.
I am looking forward to seeing The Darwin Incident, which deals with thought-provoking themes, being adapted into a visual medium.
The character Gale I'm playing has strong convictions within himself, and because of the intensity of those feelings, he harbors dissatisfaction with society.
He also has extraordinary feelings toward Charlie and is quite invested in him.
Please look forward to seeing how he intersects with Lucy, Charlie, and the others.

▼Lesley K. Lippman/Major (Hiroya Egashira)

A central figure in ALA. He is Rivera's right-hand man and part of ALA's action squad. A former officer with a history in the U.S. Army, he was an excellent soldier who was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross.

[Hiroya Egashira's Comment]
I'm Hiroya Egashira, and I had the honor of playing the role of Lesley K. Lippman, the right hand of Rivera Feyerabend.
With the setting of being an excellent former military man from the U.S. military who was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, it was easy to organize my thoughts, and I greatly enjoyed performing action scenes and such!
As a fan of the original work, I am deeply honored to be involved in The Darwin Incident.
I hope not only fans but also many others will enjoy it!
