Voice actor Hiroshi Kamiya, who voices the Medicine Seller in the Gekijōban Mononoke: Karakasa (Paper Umbrella) anime film, stated during a stage greeting event for the film on Saturday that he will record on Sunday for a “second chapter” titled “Hinezumi” (also could be romanized as “Kaso”), meaning “fire rat.”
Gekijōban Mononoke: Karakasa, which opened in Japan on Friday, teased before the credits a phrase that included “Hinezumi.”
Hiroshi Kamiya instead voices the protagonist the Medicine Seller in the film.
Gekijōban Mononoke: Karakasa was previously slated to open last year, but was delayed.
