Kotaro Koizumi, Hikaru Takahashi, and Kanade (from 3ji no Heroine) appear as voice actors.
We have received a comment from Mr. Koizumi, who plays Liko's homeroom teacher!
PokéDoko has a close look at the recording of these three.
Please look forward to the broadcast!

小泉孝太郎 さん、髙橋ひかる さん、かなで(3時のヒロイン)さんが声優で登場
リコの担任役の小泉さんから、コメントが到着しました
ポケどこ では髙橋さんとかなでさんの収録密着しているので
そちらの放送もお楽しみに

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。
