Nanase Nishino is a Japanese actress, model, and former idol. She is set to play the lead role of Madoka Akagi in the live action Pokémon drama Cram Adventures in a Pocket.

Press Release - October 13th, 2023
It was announced that Nanase Nishino, who plays the protagonist Madoka Akagi in the original Pokémon live action serial Pokétsume, would join the Pokémon anime as a guest voice actor in December 2023. She played an Eteboth.

A comment from Nanase Nishino: I've loved the Pokémon video games ever since I was a child, so I was extremely happy to learn that I would be appearing in the Pocket Monsters anime TV show. I was initially surprised that I had been cast as an Eteboth, since I wasn't expecting that I'd play an actual Pokémon, but I'm considering this a great honor.
I actually found it to be quite difficult since the way I had to approach my lines was so different from when I'm doing live action. It required a strong sense of imagination since I needed to get across my character's thoughts and current situation purely through making noises.

I got the hang of it little by little though, and it made me really happy when the sound director told me I was "getting close to an Eteboth now"!
This entire thing was a really good experience for me, and one that really made me fall in love with Eteboth. The episode won't be airing for a while though, but look forward to it!

小さいころからポケモンのゲームが大好きだったので、テレビアニメ『ポケットモンスター』への出演が決まった時はとてもうれしかったです。今回エテボースを演じることになり、最初に出演のお話を聞いた時は、まさかポケモン役だと思っていなかったのでびっくりしましたが、光栄でした。
鳴き声だけで何を考えているのか、どういう状況なのかを伝えなくてはいけないので、想像力が必要で、ドラマでセリフを言うのとはアプローチの仕方が違うので難しかったです。
でも徐々にコツが掴めてきて、音響監督に『エテボースに近づいてきたね』と言っていただけたのはうれしかったです！　すごい良い経験ができたと思いますし、この機会をきっかけにエテボースが大好きになりました。放送はまだ先になりますが、お楽しみに！
