In a war-torn feudal Japan filled with mechs and magic, the greatest ronin never known, Yasuke, struggles to maintain a peaceful existence after a past life of violence.
Half-Black, half-Japanese actor Jun Soejima will be voicing Yasuke in the Japanese version of the anime, while Lakeith Stanfield voices the African samurai in the English dub.
It will have six episodes in total, with LeSean Thomas directing the anime over at MAPPA.
But when a local village becomes the center of social upheaval between warring daimyo, Yasuke must take up his sword and transport a mysterious child who is the target of dark forces and bloodthirsty warlords.
