Comments from May 27th, 2022 Press Release

On May 27th, 2022, Shogakukan released a press release summarizing the upcoming Masters Eight Tournament and also posting comments from voice actors. The official Anipoke Twitter account also posted the voice actors comments.

Depending on how you look at it, Daigo is a wide-ranged person and can be seen as sharp-tongued, a nice person, very cool and endeared by many. I have been playing the role of Daigo since the Pocket Monsters XY TV anime series, and I have found new things about him in this series.

Those of you who have long supported Pokémon will be watching the upcoming Masters Tournament with great anticipation, and I will enjoy being able to participate in the festivities as Daigo. You'll be seeing him in his "strongest and amazing" form, so don't miss it!


ダイゴは見方によっては毒舌家にもクールにも優しい人にも見えて、人としての幅が広いところがかっこよくて、愛らしいなとも思います。テレビアニメ「ポケットモンスターXY」シリーズからダイゴ役として出演させていただいていますが、今回のシリーズで彼の魅力をまたひとつ見つける事ができました。

『ポケモン』を長く応援してくださっている方々は、これから始まるマスターズトーナメントに大きな想いを持ってご覧になると思いますが、僕もそのお祭りにダイゴとして参加できることを楽しませていただきます。そして、皆さんには彼の「一番強くて凄い」ところをお見せできると思いますので、お見逃しなく！
