Kagurabachi TV Anime Confirmed for April 2027 With Cypic Directing

Shochiku confirmed that Takeru Hokazono's Kagurabachi manga will receive a television anime adaptation in April 2027. The series is in production at Cypic, the studio previously known as CygamesPictures, with Tetsuya Takeuchi directing. Takeuchi's past work includes key animation on the Rock Lee versus Gaara fight in Naruto, a sequence Hokazono cited as a reason for his excitement about the adaptation. Keigo Sasaki is handling character designs, and Taihi Kimura, winner of the 2025 Seiyu Awards Best New Actor prize, will voice protagonist Chihiro Rokuhira. Shochiku and CyberAgent sit on the production committee. The announcement arrived during the fifth Jump Press program and was accompanied by a trailer, a teaser visual, and a commemorative illustration from Hokazono. A world tour starting in summer 2026 will screen 20 minutes of the first episode at events worldwide, culminating in a full first-episode screening in Japan in spring 2027 before the broadcast. The manga has been serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump since September 2023 and has over 4 million copies in circulation.
