Toucan / cv.Hiro Shimono
A corporate employee of the woodpecker order Toucanidae. The bird is actually a bird that should be native to South America, but is a businessman in Africa. He is a troublemaker in the company, with a very sharp tongue and a flirtatious personality. He always causes trouble and solves it as a fox that borrows from the tiger…not a lion that borrows from the lion.
Toucan is played by Hiro Shimono, a multi-talented voice actor and musician, who also stars in a live-action film as an actor. Although Shimono often plays nice young men, this time he plays a prickly bird that says and does things that are out of compliance.
Turtle President/cv.Akira Ishida
The president of the company where the lions work. He is a refreshingly black manager with a wad of cash on his head, calling his employees “company employees,” and even hinting at a pay cut for some reason.
Killing hamster / cv.Hina Kino
A hamster (?) with a double-bladed knife in both hands. The two knives are always full of murderous intent. It is always full of killing intent. I’m not sure if he’s a company pet or an employee.
Shishimura / cv. Eri Kitamura
A gregarious girly leopard JK, she is quite a carnivorous girl as she looks.
Gorimi / cv. Yui Ogura
The gorilla JK, the “friend” of Sisimura, with her huge body and ribbon on top of it. Ooh, Yui Ogura played the role of the gorilla? (Confused)
Caracal / cv. Hiroshi Kamiya
Lion’s classmate, a slightly good-natured employee in the human resources department. Not Friends.
Ratel/cv.Tatsuo Suzuki
An employee who works in the department next to the lions. The original animal, the rattler (honey badger), is registered in the Guinness Book of Records as “the most fearless animal in the world,” and has a temperamental and quarrelsome personality.
Mitsosie/cv.Kengo Kawanishi
A bird that has a symbiotic relationship with Ratel in the real animal kingdom. A subordinate of Ratel, he is as bad a junior colleague as Toucan, who insidiously harasses him in the company to relieve the stress of being worked over by his boss.
There are also “animal things” elements, too
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
It has a very Japanese salaryman-like content, with empty meetings, recklessness in projects, and a lot of black and power-harassing remarks, but it is also packed with gags that take advantage of the “animal character” setting. Some major animals such as lions as well as animals that are unfamiliar to Japanese people appear in the film, so you may be able to learn about their lives. If you are interested in the animals of the savannah, it is worth a look.
