It has been announced that Sakurai Momo, a member of idol group ≠ME, will voice the character Mofutto in the upcoming TV anime Gacha wo Mawashite Nakama wo Fuyasu: Saikyou no Bishoujo Gundan wo Tsukuriage ro. The casting was revealed on November 11 to coincide with “Standing-Ear Rabbit Day.”

Who Is Mofutto?

Mofutto is a mascot-like character who joins the party after being rescued during their journey. Incredibly fast and rarely encountered, Mofutto is known as a “lucky rabbit” — a creature whose mere appearance is said to bring happiness to those who spot it.

Character PV Unveiled

Alongside the casting announcement, a character PV showcasing Mofutto’s adorable design was released, giving fans their first listen to the character’s voice. The video features an instrumental version of the ending theme “Mofukyun Heart♡” (Mofutto ver.) as its background music.

Sakurai Momo’s Comment

“I’m Sakurai Momo, also known as Momokyu from ≠ME, and I’ll be playing Mofutto♡ Mofutto is irresistibly adorable — just seeing them on screen is soothing. As the ‘lucky rabbit,’ I felt there were a lot of similarities to myself, though I did struggle in some parts of the recording… I gave it everything I had to bring out all of Mofutto’s different expressions♡ I hope everyone looks forward to seeing Mofutto in action♡”
