In the TV anime adaptation of Rumiko Takahashi's "Ranma 1/2," Tomokazu Seki will voice Ichirou, an original character created exclusively for the anime. Ichirou is a member of Furinkan High School's Radio Club and is known for his unique commentary style, which livens up the game broadcasts. His energetic commentary has earned him a solid reputation, with some even calling him the "Word Smith," a title that is likely more rumor than fact.

Tomokazu Seki shared his experience with the role: "The director encouraged me to ad-lib, and I really enjoyed bringing energy to the show. His appearance is meant to give the classic series a fresh boost."

A synopsis for the upcoming Episode 2, titled "I Hate Boys," has also been released. The episode, airing on October 12, follows Ranma and Akane as they begin their school life at Furinkan High. Upon arriving at the school gate, they encounter a group of male students vying for Akane's attention, including Tatewaki Kuno, the captain of the Kendo Club. Kuno, who has a crush on Akane, quickly develops feelings for Ranma, unaware that Ranma has transformed into their female form.
