Suzuki is also voicing the same character in the upcoming second television anime adaptation of the manga.
The November issue of Tokuma Shoten’s Animage magazine revealed on Wednesday that Osamu Tezuka’s Dororo manga will get a stage play adaptation that will star Hiroki Suzuki as protagonist Hyakkimaru.
