- Yuuki Takada (voiced by Elma): Dear humans! Dragons! It’s like a dream to be able to meet again. The fact that I get to play Elma again I owe to everyone who has continued to love Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart! I saw the trailer and felt a knot in my chest. I look forward to the day when I can join everyone at Maid Dragon. Following Elma’s example, I will eat delicious things, sleep, work, and then eat again to prepare for the recordings. I hope to have your support in the film too!
- Minami Takahashi (voiced by Lucoa): First of all, thank you to everyone who has continued to support Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon! It’s a movie! When I found out, I was so happy and excited to be able to meet everyone again. It was a warm and happy feeling. I will play my role with all the love and heart to reach not only those who are close, but also those who are far away. I hope everyone has high expectations and is excited for this movie! I’m back! And welcome back!
- Shiori Sugiura (new voice of Ilulu): Congratulations on the decision to make a movie! I am Shiori Sugiura, and I will participate as Ilulu. I’m happy that Ilulu has a warm place where she can feel happy and be herself. What experiences will you have this time? If he’s with Kobayashi and everyone else, it’s sure to be something as intense and hot as a burning fire. With a renewed mindset, I will enjoy the process as I carefully and lovingly interpret Ilulu in my own way.
- Daisuke Ono (voice of Fafnir): Since I was asked to be the narrator at the presentation of the new project, I have been very excited. But at the same time, I also had certain doubts. Will Faf appear? When I received this request for comment, I was relieved. But at the same time, more doubts assailed me: will it have many scenes? I don’t have the script yet, so I’m very nervous. You guys just keep your expectations high and look forward to it!
- Yuichi Nakamura (voiced by Makoto Takiya): A movie!? It’s been a while since we had any news about the anime, and now they announce a theatrical version! What kind of story will it be? And will Takiya and Fafnir have any notable participation? In any case, I look forward to the next news!
- Emiri Katou (voiced by Riko Saikawa): Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon It is a very important work for me. When I heard about the movie and its title, I felt a tightening in my chest. “The Lonely Dragon”… As Saikawa, who adores Kanna, it seems there will be many emotions to experience. I will do everything possible to make this wonderful work reach all of you!
- Kaori Ishihara (voiced by Shouta Magatsuchi): My beloved Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon has been confirmed for a movie! I’m too happy! The world of Maid Dragonfull of goodness, returns, and I am excited to enjoy it on a big screen. Although recording is still pending, I am delighted to be playing Shouta again.

Synopsis of Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon
As Kobayashi prepares to start a new day of work, she opens the door to her apartment and finds an unusually terrifying sight: the head of a dragon staring at her from the balcony. Immediately, the dragon transforms into a pretty, buxom and energetic young woman, dressed as a maid, who introduces herself as Tooru.
It turns out that the stoic programmer had crossed paths with the dragon the night before on a drunken excursion into the mountains, and since the mythical beast had nowhere else to go, she had offered him a place to stay at her house. Thus, Tooru had arrived to take advantage of the offer, willing to reciprocate her savior’s kindness by working as her personal maid. Although deeply regretful of her words and reluctant to keep her promise, a mixture of guilt and Tooru’s incredible dragon abilities convince Kobayashi to take the girl in.
