The Bartender: Glass of God anime revealed a new visual featuring Ryuichi Kazuhara ahead of the April premiere. Naoya Uchida will be voicing the character, who is also known as Mr. Perfect. The drink he was paired with is a Manhattan cocktail: l5u4m
Naoya Uchida commented on the role:
Kuzuhara has the impression of being a stoic and strict person who always strives for perfection, so I was conscious of a calm and collected tone without showing any emotional ups and downs.
In the previous anime adaptation, Kuzuhara was played by the late Iemasa Kayumi, who I loved, so I feel proud that I was able to take over that role.
Please enjoy the lives of the various bartenders that appear in this work.
