Magnificent Team Behind Kagurabachi

Recognized for its high-quality production, the animation for "Kagurabachi" is in the skilled hands of Cypic, a company affiliated with CyberAgent. This studio has a track record for producing engaging shows, like Umamusume Cinderella Gray. The renowned Tetsuya Takeuchi, who has previously worked on Sword Art Online II, will direct the anime, while Keigo Sasaki, known for his stunning character designs in Blue Exorcist and The Seven Deadly Sins, will serve as the character designer. The lead character, Chihiro Rokuhira, will be voiced by the talented Taihi Kimura, a recent winner of the Best New Actor award at the 2025 Seiyu Awards.

Continuing the Legacy

Following an overwhelmingly successful Part 1 of the tour, which commenced in July 2026, this second installment aims to expand on the saga of this emerging franchise. Previous events included an electrifying premiere at Anime Expo 2026 in Los Angeles, which garnered significant attention. Part 2 continues this momentum, aiming to reach fans across all five continents, ensuring that the vibrant universe of "Kagurabachi" touches as many people as possible.

With the anime's gripping narrative—a story laden with revenge and dazzling sword-fighting sequences—it's no wonder that it has achieved over 4 million copies sold, encompassing both physical and digital editions.
