Hanae will play Tanjirō Kamado, while Kitō will play Nezuko Kamado.
This year’s 45th issue of Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine revealed on Saturday that Natsuki Hanae and Akari Kitō will star in the television anime adaptation of Koyoharu Gotouge’s Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba manga.
The manga debuted in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump in February 2016 and Viz Media’s English digital edition of Shonen Jump previewed the first three chapters under its Japanese title Kimetsu no Yaiba.
But that ephemeral warmth is shattered one day when Tanjiro finds his family slaughtered and the lone survivor, his sister Nezuko, turned into a demon.
