Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated 5d ago

The Sins of Kujo live-action film is a TOHO Films production scheduled to open in Japan on January 8, 2027. Nobuhiro Doi directs from a script by Nonji Nemoto. Yuuya Yagira reprises his role as Taiza Kujo from the Netflix live-action series, and Hokuto Matsumura joins as Shinji Karasuma. The manga, by Shohei Manabe, launched in Weekly Big Comic Spirits in October 2020 and has over 4 million copies in circulation.

By September 2026, the film's marketing had moved to its supporting ranks. A teaser began streaming on Thursday and added six cast members: Kiyohiko Shibukawa as Takehito Mitarashi, Haru Kuroki as Kanako Kujo, Yui Narumi as Rui Ota, Eita Okuno as Uji, Mutsuo Yoshioka as Karigane, and Yu Tokui as Kajiya. The new names lean toward yakuza and swindler roles, the same crime-world periphery the Netflix series drew from. The film's announced date has stayed fixed at January 8, 2027 across both stories, and the leads announced in August remain unchanged.
