Yuki Kaji’s Unconventional Tradition of Wearing the Same Underpants for Anime Episodes
In an interview on the showBokura no Jidai(ViaComicBook), Eren Yeager Voice actor Yuki Kaji had an interesting story to share when asked about his work habits.
He shared that he wore a pair of black-and-white patterned underpants for the first episode of the series.
“For some reason, when I play my role in Attack on Titan, I always wear the same underwear. I think it was just a coincidence, but when I was recording episode one, I was wearing an underwear with a black-white pattern that resembled the image of the works. And then when I started recording episode two and saw I was wearing the same underwear, I thought: “Oh, this is the same one I wore last week.”
He further added:
“That’s when I decided that I’d keep wearing it. Since I’m still wearing its and it’s already 10 years old, it has some holes. But I have one recording session left, so it’s about to retire.”
The voice artist explained that he liked them so much that he continued wearing them for the second episode and decided to make it a tradition.
However, he mentioned that these underpants, which are now more than ten years old and have some holes, will be retired after his last recording session.
