Shunta Sono Performs Viral Kudo Soma Phrase at Kamen Rider Zetts Stage Greeting

Shunta Sono, who plays the villain Kudo Soma in the film Kamen Rider Zetts: Sayonara no Mission, performed his character's viral catchphrase live at a stage greeting in Tokyo on August 7. He also recalled filming with lead actor Ryutaro Imai and praised his co-star's personality and acting.

Shunta Sono brought the viral Kudo Soma phrase to the stage. At a Tokyo event on August 7 for the film Kamen Rider Zetts: Sayonara no Mission, Sono delivered the line "We have a beautiful mother tongue. Let us love our mother language," which has been spreading on social media as the Kudo Soma phrase.

Sono's character, Kudo Soma, is a villain who loves Japan so much that he rejects foreign words and converts all katakana terms into Japanese. The audience laughed at the line, and Sono responded with a quick quip, asking who laughed.

He also praised co-star Ryutaro Imai, saying Imai is good at getting close to people, and director Kazuya Kamihigashi noted Sono's dedication during dubbing sessions, calling him serious and passionate.
