Yūichi Nakamura Joins Kagurabachi Anime As Soshiro Azami
Casting is arriving slowly and out of order for a series like this, which usually reads as a production still filling out a full roster ahead of an April 2027 broadcast, even though the cast list already carries five lead roles.
Reporting from 1 source: Anime News Network.
CyberAgent announced Friday that Yūichi Nakamura will play Soshiro Azami in the Kagurabachi television anime, described as a sorcerer affiliated with the Kamunabi. Takeru Hokazono's manga stars Taihi Kimura as Chihiro Rokuhira, Tomokazu Seki as Kunishige Rokuhira, Katsuyuki Konishi as Togo Shiba, Miku Itō as Hinao, and Miyari Nemoto as Char Kyonagi. The anime premieres in April 2027 and streams worldwide that month excluding Japan, Mainland China, North Korea, and South Korea.
The announcement came through CyberAgent rather than the anime's own account, and it adds a character the source describes only by affiliation, a sorcerer connected to the Kamunabi. The production itself is set: Tetsuya Takeuchi directs at Cypic, with Keigo Sasaki on character design and Shochiku and CyberAgent on the production committee. The manga runs in English through Viz Media's Shonen Jump and Shueisha's MANGA Plus.
