初恋モンスターズ

Artist

Character unit name representing the fifth-grade elementary school boys at the heart of the TV anime Hatsukoi Monster, based on Akira Hiyoshimaru's shojo manga. Centered on Takahiro Sakurai as Kanade Takahashi, the group includes Tomokazu Sugita as Ginjiro Sannomiya, Shotaro Morikubo as Tomu Kaneko, and Ayumu Murase as Kazuo Noguchi. The unit's character songs match the series' premise — a high school freshman girl falling for a boy who looks far older than his years thanks to his unusually grown-up appearance, but is actually still a fifth grader — pairing childlike innocence with the distinctive voices of a star-studded cast.
