Anna Yamada says she watched a lot of anime and studied the movements and facial expressions.  Gen Hoshino, an elite politician x Fuju Kamio, a 17-year-old prime minister chosen by AI She also commented on her impressions of Gen Hoshino, who plays Kiyoshi Taira, the elite politician who leads the Woor project, and Kaedeju Kamio, who plays Maki, the 17-year-old prime minister chosen by the AI.  I trusted Hoshino-san’s understanding of Reiko Yoshida’s world so much that I thought it would be richer to wait for what he would come up with and make the most of it rather than spending words to convey my thoughts. I decided to proceed in this way.  Mr. Kamio is the originator of this work, a 17-year-old high school student chosen by AI, which is an incredibly super existence, so I think it was quite a burden for him. When Mr. Yoshida was writing the script, he had an image of Mr. Kamio from the beginning as Maki, who would be a cool but boyish figure. There was no way he could understand what AI was thinking, and yet he was a mysterious figure who had to be convincing.  But when I read the script for the second episode, I was surprised. I had an image of Maki as more of an adult, but he had the openness and honesty of a junior high school student or even younger, and there was a huge gap between that and his mysteriousness.  I think it was very difficult to portray that gap, but I think Kamio-san has managed it beautifully.
