The
cast includes
Ken'ichi Matsuyama as Galo Thymos, a new member of the Burning Rescue team. He's
still in his teens but has more attitude than anyone. He is a reckless meathead
who runs headlong to the scene of a fire.
Taichi
Saotome as Lio Fotia, the leader of Mad Burnish. Lio
seems like someone who keeps their cool, but it's actually the opposite. Lio
aims to burn everything with the power of a special flame called "Burnish
Flare."
Masato
Sakai as Kray Foresight, the administrator of the
The Independent Republic of Promepolis and chief director of the Foresight
Foundation. He used to research fireproof building materials, but successfully
developed an instant-freeze bullet that can put out a Burnish fire. Galo looks
up to him.
Ayane
Sakura as Aina Ardebit, a member of Burning Rescue
who, like Galo, is in her teens. She is cool, calm, and professional at all
times, and does things at her own pace. She plays the straight man to Galo and
Varys.
Tetsu
Inada as Varys Truss, a member of Burning Rescue, in
charge of heavy machinery. He's a muscular guy in his 30s, and he's always
training his body. He partners with the diminutive Lucia when out on a job.
Mayumi
Shintani as Lucia Fex, a small mechanic at Burning
Rescue. She handles the development and maintenance of Burning Rescue's equipment.
She also constructed Galo's Matoi.
Rikiya
Koyama as Ignis Ex, the captain of Burning Rescue, in
his 30s. On missions, he makes wise decisions and leads the other members. He
trusts his team and they trust him.
