The announcement has sparked massive buzz across social media.

Lento Fragile is introduced as an all-rounder genius who excels at both singing and dancing. Characterized by his calm, collected, and mature demeanor, he is the older brother of Ash Fragile (voiced by Shogo Yano), who is also a member of the group "Midveil." His official introductory quote—"Those two are always overworking themselves. Honestly, I wonder who they take after"—already exudes a sophisticated and relaxed charm.

Following the announcement, fans flooded social media with a mix of excitement and playful desperation. Comments such as "This visual paired with Makoto Furukawa's voice is illegal!" and "If Furukawa-san is in it, I have no choice but to start playing the game" quickly went viral, causing "Makoto Furukawa" to trend on X.

Fans are particularly thrilled about the synergy between Lento's character concept and Furukawa's renowned acting and singing abilities. Social media has been filled with high expectations: "I can't wait to see how he portrays this smart, slightly cheeky character," "I'm already anticipating his signature deep voice," and "Just the thought of seeing him sing and dance is overwhelming."

While Spariku has been revealing its star-studded cast daily, the addition of Makoto Furukawa has truly captured the hearts of many. Anticipation is at an all-time high for future updates and the reveal of Lento's singing voice.

The Context: What is Disney Sparklink Stars?
