Actress Mei Hatake joins the voice cast of the new cinematic adventure featuring the young detective. As announced by the production executives, the 23-year-old artist will take on her first voice role in an anime this spring. Her involvement marks a first in her two-decade-long stage career.
In the highly anticipated production "Detective Conan: The Fallen Angel on the Highway" (original title: 名探偵コナン ハイウェイの堕天使 / Detective Conan: Fallen Angel on the Highway), Hatake portrays police officer Minato Tateoki. The member of the Kanagawa Prefectural Police is 22 years old and is investigating a mysterious incident at Lake Tanagawa. Her inquiries uncover crucial details that assist the clever student detective Conan Edogawa in solving the case.
Producers Kondo, Yoshida, and Okada expressed appreciation for the collaboration. They emphasized the actress's ability to convincingly convey the youthful innocence of her role. During the recording sessions at the dubbing studio, Hatake attentively followed the instructions of the sound director and refined her performance from take to take. Her calm presence belies an astonishingly precise delivery, reminiscent of the dual nature of the protagonist.
The artist herself expressed surprise and delight at the offer. She recalled how, as a child, she would watch the television adventures of the series hero with her family every week.
