For the popular TV anime "Chibi Maruko-chan," based on the manga by Momoko Sakura, an important recasting has been announced: Emi Hon'ei will take over as the new voice for the character Yamada Shouta, affectionately known as "Yamada-kun." This change follows the departure of the current voice actress, Keiko Yamamoto, who will portray the character until December 17, 2023. Hon'ei, who also voices Maruko and Yamada-kun's classmate, the character Jōgasaki-san, will make her debut in her new role on February 4, 2024, in the episode "Maruko, in Search of a Lost Item."

The character Yamada-kun, known for his perpetual smile, is a staple of the series, and Hon'ei aims to continue this tradition while bringing her own unique energy to the role.
