“I have always loved Disney, so when I heard about the auditions for the game I thought, ‘I’d love to be a part of that!’.
Of all the roles available, Floyd was the one I wanted the most. I wanted to play a character that no one knew what he was thinking, and I poured all of my experience as a performer into my own version of Floyd.
I tried to create an atmosphere that was unsettling while still leaving a cute impression, along with a variety of the other aspects of the character. During auditions I tried to over-exaggerate and sound dark and crazy, but during the recording I was instructed to sound less scary, so I tried to tone it down.
I finally worked out what it is that is cute about Floyd, then increased the coolness percentage a bit, and it was settled.
I feel that the roller coaster-like drops, such as the sudden change from infant-like to intellectual, is what makes Floyd so appealing. The changes in the weight of his reactions (e.g., ‘Little shrimp!’) are very interesting to portray.
I like that the three members of Octavinelle are equals. I like their relationship, and how it is never just the two of them obeying Azul.
Jade and Floyd have a lot of overlap in the game, but recordings are basically solo, so I am not able to talk to Jade. But Komada-san, who portrays Jade, plays the character so well that I can get a sense of ‘this is how Jade would say this part’ just by hearing his voice once. I am very grateful for that.
If you haven’t played the game yet, please try completing the first book, because the story is just so interesting. I am sure you will be hooked. I can’t help but look for the hidden Mickeys. I got Floyd’s SSR card in the opening and I thought, ‘It’s fate!’ By the way, my hair parts left to right, just like Floyd! (laughs).”

In August 2026, the official Twisted Wonderland Twitter account published the following comments from Okamoto on the character song/dorm song soundtrack and karaoke box implementation (source):
>> Memories from Recording
As Floyd’s voice actor, I remember discussing where to incorporate Floyd-ness during the recording. We recorded several variations, and I felt that it was difficult to find the right balance precisely because of his unpredictable moods.
>> What should fans pay attention to in the songs you participated in?
Since all of the Halloween songs were sung in English, I found the pronunciation challenging. The other voice cast members’ singing voices sounded very novel in English, and I personally really enjoyed listening to them.
>> Which song would you like to sing at karaoke?
I’ve always liked “This Is Halloween” and used to listen to it a lot. It’s one of those songs that you naturally want to listen to when Halloween season comes around. So I’d like to try singing it at karaoke. But English is just too difficult, so I might want to sing the Japanese version instead… (laughs) I also really love the feel of “Piece of my world.” But I’m not sure if I could sing it by myself, so I’d like to sing it with a few other people.
>> A message for the fans, please.
Thank you as always for your continued support. The characters of Disney Twisted Wonderland have an endless amount of charm, and I’m also looking forward to seeing the different outfits that will be released. I hope you’ll continue to support Disney Twisted Wonderland.
