The guest voice actors for the movie Wonderful Precure! The Movie! (in theaters September 13), based on the TV anime Wonderful Precure!, have been announced. Kana Hanazawa will voice the mysterious genius game creator Natsuki, and Kenta Miyake will voice Mujina, the boss of the Tanuki gang.

In the movie, the characters Komugi, Iroha, Yuki, Mayu, Daifuku, and Satoru gather to play the popular game Dokidoki Tanuki Kingdom. However, instead of simply starting the game together, they get sucked into the game world where a suspicious tanuki lurks. Why did this happen? The key lies with the girl who created the game, Natsuki. The story follows the characters as they, along with the teams from Hirogaru Sky! Precure and Maho Girls Precure!, try to escape from the game.

The original character "Natsuki" is a genius game creator who developed the popular game "Dokidoki Tanuki Kingdom," the setting of this movie. The character's visual design, with her eyes covered by a mask, adds a mysterious aura to her already enigmatic nature.

Kana Hanazawa, who voices Natsuki, is returning to the Precure series for the first time since her role in the 2015 film Go! Princess Precure Go! Go!! Luxurious Triple Feature!!! The Treasure of Pumpkin Kingdom.

Mujina, the boss of the tanuki brothers Ponta and Pokota (voiced by the comedy duo Jarujaru), will be voiced by Kenta Miyake. Mujina, who prevents Komugi and her friends from returning to their world, has a backstory connected to Natsuki's past memories.

Comments from Kana Hanazawa (Voice of Natsuki):

"Each Precure series has its own unique colors and character dynamics, so I watched the TV series to prepare for the role of Natsuki. I noticed that 'Wanpuri' has a somewhat mature vibe. When I arrived on set, I realized that Natsuki is actually the same age as the other characters in 'Wanpuri,' yet she holds her own as a game creator, even when dealing with adults. I wanted to portray her as slightly more mature than Komugi and Iroha, so I worked on character development with the director to achieve that."

"I love the story's message about the deep connection between the animals, their understanding of each other, and the bonds they share. I hope people feel the joy of this connection and leave the theater with a happy heart."

Comments from Kenta Miyake (Voice of Mujina):

"Mujina, whom I had the honor of voicing, is such a large tanuki that I found myself calling him 'Mujina-sama' on set. The director asked me to focus less on making him scary or intimidating and more on expressing the strong emotions Mujina carries deep within. I approached the role with the image of a child struggling to cope with something overwhelming. Mujina has his own message to convey."

"I hope everyone comes to see Wonderful Precure! The Movie! Big Adventure in the Exciting Game World! on the big screen with your loved ones or family. It's the first time in the series that dog and cat Precures make an appearance, offering a brand-new 'wonderful' experience. I wish you all a wonderful time!"
