“Thank you for waiting everyone! A new era of Bananya is returning! Yay!
It's been 5 years since the last production. The time has come again for me to take on the challenge as a voice actor and bring this adorable world and its creatures to life!
This role involves expressing as many emotions as I can with just the phrase “Nya”.
What an incredible line of work as a voice actor.
I'm so grateful for the good fortune I've met with Bananya. I'll show you the power of a voice actor approaching their 40s!

This time, the story takes place all over the world.
New characters are making their appearances, creating an increasingly lively atmosphere!
While you catch up on the previous installments of Bananya, I hope you get even more excited for the 3rdseason! Nya!”
