TV anime Seitokai ni mo Ana wa Aru! (There Are Holes in the Student Council Too!), based on the manga by Muchimaro, has announced that voice actress Yoko Hikasa is joining the cast as Kotofuki Masayuki. The character made her debut in Episode 7, which aired on November 14. A new opening video for the series was also released alongside the announcement.

Who Is Kotofuki Masayuki?

Masayuki is the mother of student council president Kotofuki Toshiko, voiced by Haruka Shiraishi. Far from a typical parent, she radiates the kind of youthful energy and liveliness that makes her feel more like a friend or younger sister to her own daughter.

Comment from Yoko Hikasa

“I play Kotofuki Masayuki — a mother whose charm lies in the kind of spirited energy you’d expect from a friend or a little sister rather than a parent! Her ideas are so off-the-wall that I genuinely worry about what would happen if she ever had a real grandchild… I tried to capture that untethered, free-floating quality she has. With Masayuki in the mix, things are going to get even more chaotic — please look forward to it!”

Series Overview

The story follows Mizunoe Ume, a student who joins the school’s student council in hopes of boosting her academic conduct score, only to find herself swept up in the daily mayhem caused by its eccentric members.
