The mysterious mushroom-like alien is named Neji, who will be making its first appearance on the anime’s 6th episode. Main character, Leo Watch, will be befriending this new character, who is voiced by none other than Okue Ootani. She is definitely no stranger to voicing non-human characters, as she is known for voicing One Piece’s Tony Tony Chopper as well as Pikachu
