  • Ootsuka Houchuu:
    • “I am Ootsuka Houchuu, who will be playing the role of Musaka Ginjirou.
      His ability to assess the power of the Umamusume and the deep strategies to win races are truly at a master’s level.
      The lines he murmurs here and there, full of profound meaning, are captivating.
      He is a character full of charm, and as an actor, it is a fulfilling role to on.
      I will do my best to complete this role without being outdone by the intense performances of the Umamusume!”
Message from Ootsuka Houchuu, who will be voicing Musaka Ginjirou
  • Shibuya Ayano:
    • “I am Shibuya Ayano, and I will be playing the role of Norn Ace.
      I am really happy to be able to appear in Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray, which is loved by everyone!
      I will do my best to make the locally famous Norn Ace become an even more beloved character.
      Please also pay attention to how Norn Ace, who initially gives off a cold impression, changes after meeting Oguri Cap!
      Look forward to the activities of the Kasamatsu Umamusume as well!”
Message from Shibuya Ayano, who will be voicing Norn Ace
  • Taichi You:
    • “Since I found out I got the role, I’ve been wondering, ‘When will the announcement be made…?’ and anxiously waiting, but finally, the day has come when I can proudly announce it out loud! Yay!
      So, once again, I’m Taichi You, entrusted with the role of Rudy Lemono!
      Her looks, personality, speech… she is overflowing with elements that I love, and I am surprised and refreshed every time I portray her.
      I’ve been looking forward to seeing everyone speaking and moving with my own eyes.
      Of course, to all the original work fans and those experiencing it for the first time through the anime, I hope you enjoy it! Please look forward to the broadcast!”
Message from Taichi You, who will be voicing Rudy Lemono
  • Izawa Shiori:
    • “I am Izawa Shiori, and I will be playing the role of Mini the Lady.
      Mini-chan is an original character from Cinderella Gray, so I played her freely as I wanted.
      She is a mischievous child, but I will portray her with a cute, honest, slightly silly charm.
      I hope everyone will love her a lot!
      The lively atmosphere of the Kasamatsu group was so much fun during the recording!”
Message from Izawa Shiori, who will be voicing Mini the Lady
  • Tadokoro Azusa:
    • “During the recording of the first episode, the director told me, ‘Rudolf might change the most compared to her previous character.’
      To bring out the dignity of a solitary queen, almost to the point of coldness, I had to rethink my image of Rudolf.
      It has been a new challenge for me, and I’m doing my best in each recording session to catch up with Rudolf. Reflecting on Rudolf’s life, I often feel overwhelmed.
      This is a work packed with the passionate efforts of everyone involved!
      Please make sure to watch it!”
Message from Tadokoro Azusa, who will be voicing Symboli Rudolf
  • Lynn:
    • “Finally, I am very happy and excited that Cinderella Gray is being made into an anime.
      There have been many opportunities to feel just how special and memorable Oguri Cap is to everyone, but once you see the beauty of the gritty battles depicted in the animation, I’m sure you’ll be filled with even more emotion.
      As for Maruzensky, who will appear as someone watching over everyone, you might catch glimpses of the feelings hidden behind her gentle smile. She may also still form a good team with Rudolf, as usual.
      Everyone on set is running forward with all their hearts, showing respect and pushing forward.
      Please look forward to it!!”
Message from Lynn, who will be voicing Maruzensky
  • Amami Yurina:
    • “I am Amami Yurina, and I will be playing the role of Mr. C.B.
      Congratulations on the anime adaptation of Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray!
      The powerful scenes and expressions from the original work will now have colour, sound, and voices breathing life into them.
      I’m sure many Trainers have been eagerly waiting for this moment.
      I am of them!
      This is my first time playing Mr. C.B. in an animated work, but I want to let her run freely and naturally, just like herself, in Cinderella Gray!
      Please look forward to it!”
Message from Amami Yurina, who will be voicing Mr. C.B.
