■Akihisa Wakayama’s Comments on Playing Akito Sendo

— Impressions of the series
I found this work incredibly interesting because it focuses on "ego" and "egotism," concepts generally seen in a negative light, and portrays them in a positive and intense way as the key to the characters' setbacks, challenges, and growth within the team sport of soccer.
I’m really excited to see how each strong-willed individual will evolve within the group, and for the first time in a while, I’ve been keeping up with the latest chapters, even though I usually prefer to read manga in collected volumes (laughs).

— Impressions and enthusiasm about the character you play
Although Sendo is the ace striker of Japan's U-20 national team, who stands in the way of the Blue Lock squad, my first impression was that he has surprisingly weak mental fortitude and comes off a bit small-minded, almost like a stepping stone for others.
However, he's definitely not just a mere stepping stone. Sendo is a character so compelling that he could have been the protagonist in a different series. I will give my all to portray his appeal. Please look forward to seeing how Sendo changes during the match and how he stands in the way of the Blue Lock squad.

Summary

Shuto Sendou makes his debut in the second season of the Blue Lock anime. Although surrounded by eccentric characters in Blue Lock, he possesses a surprisingly down-to-earth sensibility. However, he is also portrayed as being highly valued and trusted by his fellow U-20 team members due to his abilities. Let’s look forward to seeing how he will make his mark in Blue Lock moving forward!
