The anime "Jantama Kan!!" based on the online mahjong game "Jan Soul" is scheduled to air from April this year. "Jantama PONG" was broadcast in 2022, and it is attracting attention as the first new anime in two years. In addition to the original characters of mahjong players, this work also features real professional mahjong players and virtual YouTubers as characters and guest appearances. This time, I would like to introduce the guest characters that have appeared in the work so far! Some of them may be familiar to you!
Introduction: Introduction to the work
The anime of the mahjong game "Jan Soul", where you can play online against various players from all over the country with many cute characters, has come again. In the previous work, there were many stories that were not related to mahjong, but this time, the mahjong players start a streaming business, go on a trip with other guys, and somehow get caught up in a fight between delinquents, so it seems that there will be more crazy developments than in the previous work. The main characters such as Ichihime and Kaguyahime, as well as the activities of various characters, are attracting attention this time as well.
Takaharu Tai
Takaharu Tai is active as a professional mahjong player in Japan. He belongs to RMU and M League, which are competitive mahjong organizations. He serves as the representative of RMU and holds the highest rank in the organization, SSS rank. At the age of 20, he passed the professional mahjong test, and at first he played mahjong while working at the securities company he was working at at the time, but at the age of 26 he quit and started working full time as a mahjong player. His hobbies include watching movies, reading manga and anime, and he is known to be a particular fan of Dragon Ball and Kinnikuman. He has a stoic and studious personality, and has opened a YouTube channel to spread awareness of mahjong. He attends announcing classes and watches DVDs of comedians to improve his speaking skills in the videos.
Tenkai Tsukasa
Tenkai Tsukasa is a male virtual YouTuber who has the title of Virtual Debtor YouTuber. He seems to be openly acting despite the lack of prospects for repayment, and his activities range from game streaming, planning, mahjong, gambling, and music. He hosts, hosts, and commentates on various tournaments, including leagues in which professional mahjong players participate. In addition to appearing on "Jantama PONG," he has also appeared on the official live broadcast of Mahjong Soul and was selected as an official player. Among the many virtual YouTubers out there, it can be said that he has a very deep connection with Mahjong Soul.
Ito Life
Ito Life may be known as a virtual YouTuber, but he is also an illustrator and character designer. He was actively involved in activities such as drawing doujinshi and selling them at Comic Market, but his activities were restricted due to the spread of the new coronavirus. As a result, he decided to move his activities to YouTube. When he appears in the anime, he appears under the name "Ito Life-chan." By the way, his real name is "Ito," but the character "fuji" has many strokes, which makes it cumbersome, so he is written as he is now.
Guest Character Introduction Summary
Fans will definitely be happy to see people with a connection to mahjong appear as guests in the anime. It is expected that mahjong-related guest characters will also appear in the new anime scheduled to air in April. I'm looking forward to seeing who will appear. The episode featuring the three people introduced this time is being streamed on the official YouTube channel, so please check it out! That's all for now. Thank you for reading.
