HIROYUKI MIYASAKO as Keroyon Quote

HIROYUKI MIYASAKO as Keroyon I've been a huge fan of Weekly Big Comic Spirits magazine [in which 20th Century Boys manga was serialized], so I couldn't believe my luck when I was cast in the movie. I was shocked. How would they make a movie out of the 20th Century Boys saga? And who would be in it? After spending time thinking about who'd play who, I was told I was to play the role of Keroyon. It was confusing because I didn't know why I got that role...But after they applied makeup, I figured I did look like Keroyon. I tried to play him like a regular guy. It's regrettable that I couldn't join the operation on the Bloody New Year's Eve. I wanted to be in that snapshot (laughs).
