I play Fujino. My name is Yumi Kawai.

This time, Director Oshiyama and the production team tried to bring a new aspect to the vivid moments of Fujino and Kyomoto by adapting it into an animation, and I contributed by breathing life into life and voice into it. This is my first time participating in the animation world but I tried my best to bring a sincere voice that matches Fujino’s dynamically moving body in the picture. We invite you to watch the movie “Look Back” in theaters!

When I first read “Look Back,” I was shocked by the immersive world portrayed by Tatsuki Fujimoto-sensei, and I was excited to see how this work would be adapted into an anime. When I got the role of Kyomoto through an audition and saw the footage for the first time, I was so emotional and thought, “Wow! That world is still alive!” Even though it was an unfinished photo, I loved Fujino and Kyomoto even more to the point that tears fell during the recording process. It was my first voiceover job but I put my heart into it as much as I could. I will be happy if you can look forward to it.
