In addition, the first preview has also been released. The scene shows a child shark swaying through the sunflower field and being rubbed by the crowds, and Hanae Natsuki (who plays Haruto), who narrated the story, seemed a little worried, wondering, “Is it okay?”

However, he toasted with a businessman with a smile at an izakaya, was told by the scary-looking Mohawk Aniki (CV: Umehara Yuichiro) toasted, “Don’t follow people you don’t know,” he went to the bartender’s shop, gave the host a rice ball, and actively talked to Haruto.

You can also see the baby shark interacting with her friend, cheerfully enough to blow away any worries.

■A role of a salaryman: Miyata Toshiya

I am very pleased to have been confirmed to appear in “Okakeko Shark.”
When I auditioned, I never thought I would pass, so I was surprised and am very excited about the recording.
We hope you will enjoy the interactions between the cute shark-chan and the Mohawk Anike, who lives with them.
I will do my best to play the role of a tough-looking but kind-hearted brother, so please look forward to it.

■Acting the bartender: Takano Kou

I’ve had Penguin Box’s X spinning, and I was impressed by how cute it was.
And this time, I was asked to watch the anime all at once, and I was completely captivated by the shark.
I was very pleased to see that my voice was able to join such a world.
It’s the second film that I’m still inexperienced in to inspire voices with the voice actors, but I’ll do my best by valuing the wonderful world of this work!

■Host role: Mokuyo Kazuto

This is Mokuyo Kazuto, who played the role of the host.
I’ve always loved anime, and this was my first time trying to become a voice actor, so I was very happy!
A baby shark seen on the big screen. It’s so cute and it’s just soothing, so look forward to it!
We would be happy if you could watch this heartwarming story with your family and friends, which can only be seen in the movie version.
