We finally get to see a new key visual for the Summer 2017 anime Dive!!. The title is about a group of boys who aim to participate at the Olympics in diving.
The new key visual shows the main characters Tomoki Sakai, Yoichi Fujitani, and Shibuki Okitsu as well as Ryo Ohiro and Reiji Maruyama, who are also part of the Mizuki Diving Club. We also get to see coach Kayoko Asaki, who will influence the story a lot. Aside from the main characters, four rivals are also included in the visual! The first one is Atsuhiko Yamada, who proclaimed himself as a rival, Kiyotaka Matsuno, who always delivers a stable performance, Tsukihito Tsuji, who always receives steady scores, and Jiro Hirayama, a hot-blooded athlete who always challenges himself to learn new techniques. That makes a total of 10 characters on the visual, all of them giving their best in their own way!
Keep reading for more information on some of the characters!
Tomoki Sakai (VA: Yuki Kaji)
A member of Mizuki Diving Club in his second year of middle school.
Because he was impressed by a diver when he was young, he started to dive himself. He always does things in his own time and purely enjoys jumping, but there is a strong fire burning in his heart.
Yoichi Fujitani (VA: Takahiro Sakurai)
Second year in high school. He was born into a family of former divers and has a natural talent. He won the middle school championship three consecutive times. He is good at being precise and always harsh to himself.
Shibuki Okitsu (VA: Yuichi Nakamura)
Second year in high school. He always jumped into the sea at Tsugaru and is a lone wolf.
He signed a contract with Kayoko and joined MDC. In general he is rather silent but he overwhelms his surroundings with his diving.
Kayoko Asaki (VA: Kaori Nazuka)
The new coach who suddenly came to MDC. She has a natural talent to see the true abilities of the team.
Ryo Ohiro (VA: Ryota Osaka)
In the same year as Tomoki. He can’t hide what he is thinking and is always straightforward.
Reiji Maruyama (VA: Koki Uchiyama)
In the same year as Tomoki. He always is calm and notices details. Before every competition he gets really nervous, which is his jinx.
Atsuhiko Yamada (VA: Tomokazu Sugita)
Third year student and part of Ibaraki Spirits. He often gets called ‘Pinky’ because he wears flashy pink trunks. For many years he has seen Yoichi as his rival.
