Cast Comments

■ Kenyu Horiuchi as Yayakichi Hei (閉伊 弥々吉)
"This is a profound work that makes you think deeply about why humans must fight, drawing you straight into the drama. I was given a character that is truly an actor's dream to play, and the recording sessions were a fantastic experience. I look forward to enjoying the finished product along with everyone else."

■ Shuichiro Umeda as Muuton Nagao (長尾 武兎惇)
"I’m Shuichiro Umeda, and I’ve been entrusted with the voice of Muuton Nagao. Nippon Sangoku is filled with nothing but fascinating characters. While it depicts a harsh daily reality and brutal warfare, there is also humor and many unforgettable scenes. It’s not just Muuton... all the members of Seii have such unique names and personalities. I think they’ll leave a lasting impression on everyone. I will perform with deep love for General Wajima and Muuton Nagao! I look forward to your support"

■ Shunsuke Sakuya as Aterui Kura (九羅 亜輝威)
"I was so hooked on the original manga that I read it all in one go. It overflows with the raw, burning emotions that modern Japanese people seem to have forgotten. Aterui Kura of Seii is an incredible brawler, yet he is deeply compassionate and loyal—a truly lovable character. Please look forward to the Nippon Sangoku TV anime."

■ Ayumu Murase as Tonotsugu Taira (平 殿継)
"I will be voicing Tonotsugu Taira. The impact I felt when reading the original work is beyond words. The unpredictable developments, the characters, the human drama... my heart trembled at the sheer talent of Matsuki-sensei and how meticulously everything is constructed. I am working hard to help bring that world to life in the anime. Please stay tuned!"
