The first official trailer for the sixth season of the TV anime series "Kingdom," based on the popular manga by Hara Yasuhisa, has been released. In the sixth season, Shin, who has grown as a warrior, decides to take up the spear entrusted to him by Ouki and enter into an all-out war with Zhao. The trailer shows Shin running at the front and facing off against strong opponents in order to connect the tears and thoughts of his fallen comrades to the future. A teaser visual of Shin bravely wielding Ouki's spear has also been released.

The theme song artists were also announced, with the music unit "Ikimonogakari" performing the opening theme "Ikite, Sansan" and singer-songwriter Tomonari Sora performing the ending theme "Houkou". The opening theme "Ikite, Sansan" can be heard in the first trailer released.

Ikimonogakari commented, "Kingdom began serialization in 2006, and Ikimonogakari also debuted in 2006. Just like the main characters Shin and Sei, Kingdom has soared powerfully and has become a work known throughout Japan. We have always watched with admiration and excitement as the series grew to become as big as a great general, and we, Ikimonogakari, are honoured to be able to take part in this wave in the form of the anime theme song. We also remembered the conversations we had with Hara-sensei, who is a good friend of ours, since our debut. We have created a hymn to living life to the fullest."

Tomonari Sora said, "The battles in Kingdom are truly a clash of beliefs. In order to express that heat, we recorded everything from the sounds of armour rustling, to the shouts and roars from scratch. The lyrics are filled with elements that evoke the historical background and world of the story. We have created a powerful song that brings to mind the image of roars reverberating and large armies charging through. Please feel the sounds of battle resonating in your heart along with the sixth series. I am truly honored to have been in charge of the ending theme."

"Kingdom" is a popular manga that has been serialized in "Weekly Young Jump" (Shueisha) since 2006. Set in the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period of China, it depicts the exploits of Shin, who aims to become the greatest general in the world, and the drama of heroes such as King Ei Sei of Qin, who later becomes known as the First Emperor. The total number of copies of the comics published is over 110 million.
