Kagurabachi fans got another piece of the anime puzzle.
The upcoming adaptation has revealed a new character trailer and visual for Soshiro Azami, giving fans their latest look at how the manga is being translated into animation.
And his voice might sound familiar.
Yuichi Nakamura has officially been announced as Azami’s voice actor, adding another major name to the series ahead of its planned April 2027 premiere.
If you somehow missed the internet’s obsession with Kagurabachi, the manga follows Chihiro Rokuhira, a young swordsman on a revenge mission involving enchanted blades, sorcerers and a lot of extremely dramatic sword fights.
The series became a meme almost immediately after its debut.
Then something unexpected happened.
People realized it was actually good.
Since then, Kagurabachi has built a serious fanbase, and the anime announcement has only made expectations bigger.
Every casting reveal now becomes its own mini event because fans are trying to work out how closely the adaptation will capture the manga’s darker atmosphere and action-heavy style.
Azami is an especially interesting addition because of his connection to Chihiro’s father and the wider world of sorcerers behind the story.
There is still a while to wait before the anime actually arrives.
But the rollout has clearly started.
Trailer by trailer.Character by character.
And if Kagurabachi already managed to take over anime X before getting animated, April could get very loud.
