Miyuri Shimabukuro, the voice actress behind Hana Danno in the TV anime Tsugai of the Underworld, is appearing as the guest in Episode 10 of Tsugaigatari — radiko's official original podcast for the series. The episode goes live at around 6:00 PM on Thursday, June 11, 2026, marking her second consecutive appearance following Episode 9.
Tsugaigatari is hosted by Kensho Ono, who voices the character Yuru, as part of radiko's 15th anniversary programming. Tsugai of the Underworld is a manga by Hiromu Arakawa — known for the acclaimed series Fullmetal Alchemist — currently serialized in Monthly Shōnen Gangan, with the series surpassing 6 million cumulative copies sold. The TV anime airs every Saturday at 11:30 PM on TOKYO MX, BS11, Gunma TV, Tochigi TV, and more stations.
Episode 10 Highlights: Behind the Scenes with Kensho Ono & Miyuri Shimabukuro
In the opening talk of Episode 10, the pair chat about their personal umbrella habits, tying in with June 11th's designated "Umbrella Day" in Japan. The main segment offers a candid behind-the-scenes look at the recording of the "Tenaganagaashi" characters — voiced by Ako Mayama and Shigeru Chiba — who left a strong impression in Episode 10 of the anime. Unusually for a production that typically runs without interruption, a rare slip-up led to an unscheduled pause and a moment of shared laughter, which the episode's guests share for the first time.
Further segments include a lively discussion about "dream Tsugai character designs," inspired by listener emails, plus the regular "Gekai Quiz" corner and more exclusive content only available through the podcast.
