The third cast of the TV anime "SAKAMOTO DAYS," based on the popular manga by Suzuki Yuto currently being serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" (Shueisha), has been announced, revealing that Hanae Natsuki, Yashiro Taku, and Hayami Saori will appear. Hanae will play Nagumo, a member of ORDER, a special task force directly under the Japan Assassin League (Satsuren), and a colleague of Sakamoto's from his days as an assassin; Yashiro will play Kamigami Kai, a cool, calm, sensible member of ORDER who is also caring and often works in pairs with his junior, Osaragi, while Hayami will play Osaragi, a rookie who joined after Sakamoto left ORDER and has an airheaded, laid-back personality. Character PVs for Nagumo, Kamigami Kai, Osaragi, and Sakamoto, as well as special visuals for ORDER, have also been released.
Hanae, who plays the master of disguise, Nagumo, commented, "Hello! I'm Shimazaki Nobunaga, who plays Shin! I'm extremely happy that my best friend Hanae will be playing Nagumo! Nagumo is elusive, nonchalant, and has a mysterious air about him, but he's actually bright and mischievous. I'm looking forward to seeing him play Nagumo in his own fun way!!! I'm counting on you! A super popular voice actor!!! This is Hanae Natsuki, who plays Nagumo, disguised as Shimazaki Nobunaga, who plays Shin (sinister smile)."
Yashiro said, "This work is exciting because of the large-scale subject matter and the events that occur, but I feel that it has a unique atmosphere and world that makes it all enjoyable. Kamigami Kai, a member of ORDER, is no exception, and while he has a strong presence and is awesome, he also has a sense of closeness and healing that is unique to this world, including his relationship with Osaragi. I really like this character, so I hope I can express that side of him as well." Hayami commented, "Ever since I read the original work for the audition, I was drawn in by the balance of coolness in the battle scenes and comedy woven into the thrilling serious moments. I am doing my best to voice Osaragi, who sticks to his own pace in the work and has a unique atmosphere. I often interact with Kamigami Kai, who is also a member of ORDER, and the conversations between the two are very interesting, so I hope you will pay attention to that as well. Please enjoy the broadcast." "SAKAMOTO DAYS" is an action manga that has been serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" since November 2020.
