■The Protagonist
Suletta Mercury
CV: Kana Ichinose
<Cast comment>
I believe that a lot of people are looking forward to a completely new Gundam TV anime series for the first time in seven years and for the first female protagonist. At the same time, I didn't think that a day would come where I would be able to play the leading role in a Gundam series title.
Suletta, the character who I play, is an introvert who lacks communication skills, and I was able to sympathize with this aspect during the audition. I especially like the way she tries hard to convey her opinion and her cool side when she pilots her Gundam. I will do my best to play this part.
Please look forward to how the Gundam is used at the school!

When the production of the Gundam series was announced, I learned that this series was taking a different approach from previous titles, and I have been full of great expectations ever since I attended the audition.
I was entrusted with the role of Miorine and I am happy to fulfill one of the dreams, while feeling motivated with the responsibility of this important character. I will do my best to face and express Miorine's complex feelings such as her anger and desires, and present this wonderful series to all members of the audience.
