My name is Kotaro Koizumi, and I have the honour of playing the role of the homeroom teacher of the main character Liko in the Pocket Monsters anime.
When I was first offered the role, I was both surprised and honored that they would ask me, and I immediately said I would accept the role.
Of course, the main characters are the children, but I hope that you will also enjoy seeing how the teacher which I played in the anime is involved in the story.

この度ア二メ「ポケットモンス夕一」で主人公リコの担任の先生役を務めさせていただきました、小泉孝太郎です。
最初お話をいただいた時は、まさか自分がと思うとともにとても光栄で、すぐに引き受けたいとお返事をさせていただきました。
主人公はもちろん子どもたちなのですが、私が演じさせていただいた先生もどのように関わるのかも楽しみに観ていただけたらと思います。

A new adventure is beginning within the wide world of Pokémon! Arriving at Indigo Academy, a girl named Liko receives her first partner Pokémon, Sprigatito. But she soon finds herself pursued by the Explorers, a mysterious group that’s determined to take the pendant necklace she wears. Liko isn’t on her own, though, as Friede, Captain Pikachu, and the other Rising Volt Tacklers offer her protection aboard their airship. Meanwhile, a boy named Roy dreams of becoming a Pokémon Trainer, unaware of the secret hiding within the Ancient Poké Ball he carries. As Liko, Roy, and the Rising Volt Tacklers set sail for new horizons, what kind of discoveries await?
