Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Disturbance Anime Casts Shōya Chiba

The official X (formerly 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 Shōya Chiba voices Eiji Mishima, a boy whose parents and older brother were killed by Shishio’s men in the “abandoned village.”

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.
