I'm Kimitosu from ENTER FORCE.36, and I've recently been appointed as the Nankai Namba Special Stationmaster! I'm really happy to be given such a wonderful opportunity. Thank you! Since I operate under the motto of 'enjoy the world the most', I hope to bring smiles to everyone in Namba together as the special stationmaster!
I think Namba is a very powerful city where people, culture, and entertainment gather. I'm very excited to be in a position to welcome everyone at the station located at its center. From now on, as the special stationmaster, I want to broadcast with all my might in my own way so that Namba can become an even more fun and exciting place. Let's all enjoy the world the most together!
I look forward to working with you all!
