Popular Comedy Duo "Dian" Yusuke Appears in a Web CM for the 'Kotodaman' x TV Anime 'Jujutsu Kaisen' Culling Game Arc Part 1 Collaboration!

MIXI, Inc. (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, President, Senior Executive Officer CEO: Hiroki Kimura) announced today, April 6, 2026 (Monday), the release of a new web commercial featuring popular comedy duo "Dian" Yusuke, in conjunction with the 'Kotodaman' x TV Anime 'Jujutsu Kaisen' Culling Game Arc Part 1 collaboration. Kotodaman is a new sensation RPG where players battle with words on a smartphone app.

This latest web commercial is the finale of a story where the original cast hands over the baton to Yusuke himself, because Kishi Daisuke, an actor from Uzumasa portrayed by Dian's Yusuke, knows too little.

The video emotionally expresses the joy of a boy who loves both the TV anime 'Jujutsu Kaisen' and 'Kotodaman' now being able to enjoy both at once, leaving viewers eagerly anticipating this collaboration. Please watch it along with the story leading up to the baton pass from Uzumasa actor "Kishi Daisuke."

Furthermore, during the collaboration period, a "Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 - Culling Game Arc Part 1 - One-Shot Complete Summon" will be held, allowing players to attempt 30 free summons. If "Yuji Itadori vs Yuta Okkotsu" is acquired in this summon, all characters from the TV Anime 'Jujutsu Kaisen' Culling Game Arc Part 1 Collaboration Summon can be obtained at once. Additionally, a "Today's General Rule Arbitrary Additional Diagnosis! Result Share Campaign" will be held, which can be entered by sharing the diagnosis results from the collaboration special site. Ten winners will be chosen by lottery to receive a "Collaboration Original Whiteboard."

■Comments from "Dian" Yusuke

―― This time, you will appear both as Yusuke and as Kishi Daisuke. Has there been a past instance where both of you appeared simultaneously in one project?

Yusuke: No, I don't think there has been in the past. This might be the first time. Until now, it was always one or the other, so it's fresh to be able to do it this way.

―― In this video, what are the points you particularly want people to notice, or what did you put effort into as Yusuke?

Yusuke: Of course, Kishi Daisuke, but especially the role of the "boy". The unique way elementary school students cry, I'd really like people to see that. I did my best to liven up the collaboration between 'Kotodaman' and 'Jujutsu Kaisen' with my own "crying acting." My emotions are overflowing throughout the video (laughs), so I hope you'll check out every detail.

―― After finishing the actual filming, what are your honest impressions and what parts were difficult?

Yusuke: The set was very elaborate, and it had a nostalgic atmosphere, like the house we spent our childhood in. Thanks to that, I was naturally able to get into the role smoothly, feeling like a child from that time.

The filming itself was very smooth, but if I had to pick a difficult point, it would be expressing the change from a sad, crying expression to joy. The first half was almost entirely crying scenes, but I tried to act out the change to a joyful expression shown at the end of the story.

―― Do you ever experience conflicts like "I want to do this, and I want to do that" in your busy daily life, similar to this video?

Yusuke: Yes, I do. On my days off, I often agonize over whether to "go camping for a hobby or do something different." From now on, I want to play 'Kotodaman' in between things.

―― Finally, do you have a message for the users?

Yusuke: This has become a very humorous commercial that will make everyone laugh somewhere, not just fans of 'Kotodaman' and the TV anime 'Jujutsu Kaisen'. I hope you can enjoy this collaboration, along with the story leading up to the latest video, all together.
