It has been revealed that Kazunari Ninomiya will appear in the role of Oshirimae Legend in the full-length animated film ``Oshirimae Man: Resurrection of Oshirimae Empire'' by anime/illustrator Takashi Taniguchi. A new trailer video featuring the role of Oshirimae Legend has also been released.

Oshirimae Legend, played by Ninomiya, is the teacher of Oshirimae Man and plays an important role as the previous Oshirimae Man. Director Taniguchi said of the reason for hiring Ninomiya: ``I chose Mr. Ninomiya because I thought it would be good to have someone who has an atmosphere where you can't tell whether the characters in the work are out of focus or not, as this is a work that has a worldview where the characters are not out of focus.''
Ninomiya commented about the role, ``It was important to be able to make a fool of myself without pretending, so I thought it was a challenge.'' He continued, ``I participated in this film as a culmination of the 20th anniversary of the director's life. You may not believe it, but I'm not kidding (lol). There's something I want to convey, and it's a work where you can directly feel the passion that only the viewers who received it can understand, so I hope you enjoy it.''
The new trailer video shows the origin of the birth of the butt-front man. The scene where Butt Front Man and Butt Front Legend meet is depicted, and you can also see the line from Butt Front Legend saying, ``I wanted to entrust the future of Butt Front Man to this boy.'' It is also revealed that Ninomiya and director Taniguchi sing the song from the movie, ``Oshirigamae ni Arishikun,'' which can be heard in the new trailer. The full version of the song will be released on Taniguchi's YouTube channel tomorrow, March 21st at 8pm.
Taniguchi has been working on YouTube as his starting point, handling everything from directing, writing, drawing, editing, voice and singing all by himself. ``Oshiri Mae Man'' is a story about Maejiri, an ordinary office worker with his butt in the front, who plays an active role as a hero who protects peace in the city. Taniguchi himself will be responsible for the core production of the film version of the film, ``Oshirimae Man: Resurrection of the Oshirimae Empire'', including direction, screenplay, animation, voice, and singing.
