While Arai has appeared in live-action adaptations of anime series, Black Clover will be his first stint as a voice actor.
In one of the few examples of saying “Hey, draw me” to an artist ever going well, actor Hirofumi Arai will be joining the cast of Black Clover as Rhya, the character based on him.
His appearance was based on Arai, after the actor appeared with creator Yuki Tabata on Jump Undercover Mission Police and jokingly asked to be drawn.
