Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Disturbance Anime Casts Kazuya Nakai

The official X/Twitter account for Rurouni Kenshin Meiji Kenkaku Romantan: Kyoto Dōran (Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Disturbance), the second season of the new television anime project based on Nobuhiro Watsuki’s Rurouni Kenshin manga, confirmed on Monday that Kazuya Nakai voices Shakku Arai, the swordsmith of Kenshin Himura’s Sakabatō (reverse-edged sword).

Watsuki and his novelist wife/story collaborator Kaoru Kurosaki launched the Rurouni Kenshin: Hokkaido Arc (Rurouni Kenshin, Meiji Kenkaku Romantan: Hokkaidō-hen) manga in Shueisha’s Jump SQ. magazine in September 2017.

Watsuki first launched his 28-volume Rurouni Kenshin manga in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1994.
