In an update for fans of the anime "Bartender: The Glass of God," it was announced that Naoya Uchida will take on the role of Ryuuichi Kuzuhara, also known as "Mr. Perfect." This character is renowned for his unparalleled skills as a bartender, working at the counter of Bar K in the Diamond Star Hotel. Kuzuhara is portrayed as the epitome of perfection, striving for excellence in his profession with a strict and stoic demeanor.

The announcement coincided with the release of the eighth part of the "Character & Cocktail Visual" series, featuring Kuzuhara alongside the Manhattan cocktail, the "queen of cocktails."

Uchida reflected on his role and noted the importance of maintaining a calm and composed tone to match Kuzuhara's perfectionist and strict nature. He felt honored to take over the role from his late predecessor, Iemasa Kayumi, who had previously portrayed the character in another anime adaptation.
