Maria Amabuki/History

### 2017-2018

She once had a healthy relationship with her mother when she was younger, but everything fell apart when she found out about Reiko's background. Dissatisfied with her mother because she feels that she lost the place where she belonged, she decides to form a new Dorami with her friends. She uses her mother's maiden name “Kirishima” exclusively for this band, and rejects her mother's married name because she hates what her mother has become and prefers to follow the tough biker she used to be.

### Present

She tries her best to become the same captain of a motorcycle gang that her mother was before, as Maria feels like her mother has lost her temper. She finds it hard to pull off when most of her gang are sticker-covered female scooters and only two other members know they're not made for it. Despite acting like a tough and rude Japanese criminal, she draws a boundary by harming elementary school students and lets Lily break free of her when she threatens her and Sakura. Despite trying to win the chicken game after receiving a letter from the Korosuke, Saki is willing to do it for her as a “*special commander of a day*”. Saki crashes the motorcycle, but not before jumping from it. Reiko reprimands Saki, but she changed her mind after hearing the words from Saki about being a legend.

They were invited by Saki to her next concert, saying, “*I'll show you my own legend*”. At the end of the episode, she achieves a reconciliation with Korosuke by becoming a fan of Franchouchou.

### Episode 12

Appears as an extra in the background while supporting Franchouchou

## Season 2

### Episode 18

Maria is seen working at a supermarket, where she encounters Tae. She reveals to an uninterested Tae that not only did she save enough to buy a scooter to replace her mother's motorcycle, but also that Dorami rebranded as a dance team. When her friends arrive, Maria invites Tae to join them in a contest in plaza 656 where Tae unexpectedly wins 30,000 yen and 10 kg of onions by beating Drive in Tori's mascot in a dance competition. Tae does not want the money, but Policeman A appears at the moment and tells them to spend the money betting on boat racing.

Policeman A takes the group to a Karatsu boat race. Maria sees Misa compete and her group of motorcyclists supporting her from the building. In the end, thanks to Tae's good luck, they take 20 million yen to pay Franchouchou's debt. Upon arriving at the house, Maria turns to see Ookoba, but she doesn't seem to care. Franchouchou are surprised by the money, but that surprise is almost ruined by Sakura's tripping and knocking off Tae's head. Saki uses Kotaro's technique to distract Maria from seeing Tae's headless body.

**Skull and Bull** (**デスおじ**, *Desu Oji*) are a pair of major supporting characters and are two of Franchouchou's first-ever fans. After the girls' performance in the first episode, they are continuously seen in the audience for all their future performances.

## Appearance

### Skull

He wears a black leather jacket and underneath a purple shirt, pants are made of torn black leather, and he wears black boots too. He has a short black and purple striped skirt. In terms of physical appearance, he is quite skinny, and his face is thin and pale. He wears his neck-length gray hair as part of his hairstyle.

Despite the fact that he is lanky, he shows great physical ability and flexibility when it comes to fighting.

### Bull

He has a red shirt that does not fit well with his physique, so he constantly shows his belly. He has a black skirt with pink stripes over gray pants and black boots, just like the other metalhead. When it comes to physical appearance, he is quite fat and chubby. On his cheeks, he has a red star tattooed on a yellow ray. His hair is brown and has the shape of a drop, in addition to wearing ray decorations on it.

## Personalities

As they are complete outsiders to the idol fandom. They were at first they are confused and irritated when their announced metal concert turns out to be a front for an idol group, only to quickly come to love the girls and their work throughout the series.

They have stayed with Franchouchou since the first and somewhat disastrous performance at Geils. Even by the time, the girls hit rock bottom in Revenge, these two still refuse to give them up. Taken to another level in the first episode of Revenge, where they team up with Kotaro to animate an encore by Franchouchou, despite the angry crowd that was already beginning to assault Kotaro for his tireless cheers. Even going so far as to fight alongside Kotaro as they outnumbered just so Franchouchou could perform their song without being booed off the stage.

Bull is noted to be somewhat of a masochist, as when he sees Saki kicking Takeo, he says that this is why Number 2 is the best in his opinion and states that it must be nice for her to kick him while blushing.

## Trivia

* In the English dub, Skull speaks with a Birmingham accent.
* The only time the two were not shown together was in “Episode 6” where only Metalhead B is seen taking selfies with the girls in the crowd with Metalhead A nowhere to be found.
* The only episodes wherein they don’t make appearances during Franchouchou’s performances those days were in “Episode 3” and “Episode 4”.
	+ Granted, they were only absent in the third episode, since it being a guerrilla performance meant they had no idea of the event and location.
* It is revealed in the spin-off manga, Zombie Land Saga Gaiden: The First Zombie, the two are former classmates of Eikichi Hyodo.
* Funimation's dubbing for season two calls them “Skull and Bull” a reference to the first comedic duo of the show *Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers*, Bulk and Skull.

Maki Kawase

**Maki Kawase** (**河瀬 茉希**, *Kawase Maki*) is the seiyū for Junko Konno in the anime series, Zombie Land Saga.

## Biography

### Life

Kawase was born in Chiba Prefecture on December 31, 1995. From her elementary school years, she had an interest in manga, which was influenced by her frequent visits to her aunt's house. She first discovered the voice acting profession after learning that a manga that she was reading was receiving an anime adaptation. During her second year in high school, her friends invited her to an event that had a voice actor as a guest speaker. At the time, she was more interested in the work being promoted itself than the guest, but after seeing the guest speak lines, she was impressed to the point of already looking for a voice acting training center after the event finished.

During her third year of high school, Maki enrolled at the Japan Narration Acting Institute, a school she chose because classes were held once a week and high school students were allowed to attend. She also worked part-time in order to pay for the tuition. During her studies, she was surprised to learn that voice actor were expected to learn how to sing and dance as well. After finishing her training program, she became affiliated with the talent agency Arts Vision after passing an audition.

### Voice actor

Her debut as a seiyū was in 2015 with small characters and his first leading role came in 2018 with Eru Hoshino (Hisone to Masotan), but it would be with Junko Konno with whom she would achieve recognition not only as a seiyuu but also as a singer. Although she had no singing and dancing experience, the lessons she took in Nichinare served her well. At first, she couldn't even do simple steps and the other seiyuus had experience doing these things, so it was difficult to catch up, even practicing a lot at home. Maki had no idea that voice actors were performing as their respective characters, and never thought she would. That changed once she took the stage and saw the audience in front of her react to her performance, which made all of that effort and practice worth it.

Hanako Hakase/Relationships

## Saga Sagako Busters

### Eikichi Hyodo

Hanako treats Eikichi as the youngest of the group and tries to support him whenever a difficulty arises, as well as calling him “little brother” when talking to him. In chapter 3 and thanks to the help of her machine, she manages to increase Eikichi's height and flexibility to help him fight the Sagakos.

As Eikichi is the youngest member of the group, Hanako constantly uses him as her personal guinea pig, and this is most evident in Chapter 5 when she is drunk; she injects him with some love that she prepared. After the incident, Eikichi refuses to be alone with her out of fear that she will use him as a test subject again.

Although Eikichi is usually a test subject for Hanako with her experiments, these later end up being useful. As she has researched onions a lot together with Yuko before, she knows that she can advise Eikichi to do certain things to improve efficiency or defeat some Sagako.

### Yuko Hyodo

When Yuko is released from her onion after half a year of being trapped inside, she is somewhat uncomfortable with Yuko's sibling love for Eikichi. As Yuko was fused with a Sagako, she helped cut off the antlers that had grown on it.

Years later, she meets with Anna and Yuko to celebrate their “promised day”. Now that Yuko is older and even a mother, the Busters can attend the new store that MJ has opened in Saga.

### Tae Yamada

Hanako realizes Tae's treatment of Eikichi, and she says that he can't be the Yuko that Tae lost, and she should stop comparing Eikichi to her because they are entirely different people. As Tae and Eikichi's relationship improves, she is proud to see Tae and Eikichi's growth within the group. It's like they both behave like brothers.

Hanako is quite sincere, more than she would like Tae. She not only reminded her and the rest of her group of her current age, but also called the members who tried to be Busters useless. Although they get along completely well, there are exceptions, like when they have to argue about how to beat Sagako. Without Anna on the team, both girls had divided opinions on how to deal with the curses, which usually led to lengthy discussions on how to defeat the Sagako.

Despite everything, both remain great friends even after Tae's death. Along with the other members, they all gather on their “promised day” to commemorate Tae's death.

### Anna Shuri

The other member of Sagako Busters. Since she is perceptive and has ideas that go outside the box, she is perfect when neither Tae nor Hanako can find the solution to a problem. As such, the two girls get along well, although when Anna disappeared from the group, she blames the lack of pay. Later, she tells them that it was because of a detective she knew who was demoted to Saga, and that he himself puts the group in danger.

### Jofuku

The mysterious boss of Sagako Busters. She, along with the other girls, receives instructions from him when there is an outbreak of Sagako in the prefecture.

## Zombie Land Saga (Manga)

Kotaro mistakes him for the president of the restaurant, and tells him about his plan to save Saga using idol girls. He mentions that the reason Saga is declining is that other prefectures have more progress and because life in the city brings more opportunities to people.

After eating, he invites Kotaro to go to a restaurant, where he says that there is the true flavor of Saga. This restaurant is in Yobuko, where they serve squid. Here he mentions that when he was a child he used to visit this area with his family, where visitors exceeded a million people. Because of the distribution of goods and that now Fukuoka also serves squid, people no longer visit Yobuko. At the end of the chapter, Kotaro discovers that he was not the president of the Drive-In Tori.
