[Photos/Images] "Her face and pose are on point!" Voice actress Kaori Maeda’s "Yankumi-style" shot in a red tracksuit and glasses goes viral. 1st

Voice actress Kaori Maeda updated her X account to share a behind-the-scenes photo from her appearance at the "Hinaki Yano’s GAME the HINALAND" event. She is currently making waves online for her outfit inspired by Yankumi, the protagonist of the hit drama series Gokusen.

In the released photos, Maeda sports a bright red tracksuit paired with glasses. This look is the unmistakable trademark of Kumiko Yamaguchi—better known as "Yankumi"—the passionate teacher played by Yukie Nakama in the iconic drama series Gokusen.

In the photos, Maeda channels a "tough" persona quite different from her usual adorable self, striking a fierce pose with a sharp glare—as if picking a fight with the camera—and showing off a confident, "cool" look with her hand on her chin. The second photo captures fellow voice actresses Hinaki Yano and Hitomi Ueda joining in on the fun, energetically striking poses of their own.

In response to the post, fans flooded the comments with praise, saying things like, "You are truly the perfect Maekumi," "I couldn't stop laughing at the impressions during the event," and "The 'Maekumi Theater' was so much fun!" Others added, "Both your expression and your pose are totally on point!"
