Cast Announced for Under Ninja Movie, Including Amane Okayama, Chihiro Yamamoto, and Ryubi Miyase
The live-action adaptation of Under Ninja, a manga by Kengo Hanazawa (serialized in Kodansha’s Young Magazine), directed by hitmaker Yuichi Fukuda (Gintama, Kyou Kara Ore wa!! The Movie), will be released on January 24, 2025. The newly revealed cast includes Amane Okayama, Chihiro Yamamoto, and Ryubi Miyase, all participating in their first project with Fukuda.
The film, set in modern society, portrays a new take on ninjas hiding among us. Kento Yamazaki (as Kurou Kumogakure) plays the protagonist, a low-ranking ninja assigned a mysterious mission by the secret ninja organization "NIN." Other cast members include Minami Hamabe as Ayaka Noguchi, a high school girl caught in ninja battles, and Shohei Miura as Kato, the ninja who delivers Kurou’s mission.
Amane Okayama will play Saruta, a rogue ninja with a sadistic streak who left "NIN" in search of battle. Known for his versatile acting, Okayama shared his excitement: "It's my first time working with Fukuda and doing action scenes. I'm thrilled to be part of this."
Chihiro Yamamoto portrays Mizuki Yamada, a seemingly innocent yet manipulative high school girl, while Ryubi Miyase plays Shion Hachiya, a skilled ninja with a cute appearance, wielding weapons like swords and shurikens.
