Written By Samantha Ferreira February 28, 2015

In December, the first trailer for Trigger’s adaptation of Ninja Slayer From Animation made its way online. And, while it was short, the 45-second teaser was a sign that production was moving forward as planned.

Yesterday, the title’s cast list was revealed on the official Ninja Slayer website. The full list is as follows:

Ninja Slayer: Toshiyuki Morikawa
Dark Ninja: Sho Hayami
Nancy Lee: Chiwa Saito
Yamamoto: Sora Amamiya
Yukano: Risa Taneda
Laomoto Khan: Masane Tsukayama
Clone Yakuza: Tesshō Genda
Electronic Maiko: Noto Mamiko
Scatter: Takahiro Mizushima
Narrator: Goblin

Anime News Network reports that the cast is the same as that of the audio drama.

The announcement comes ahead of a planned special “Red Stage” showing at the Anime Japan 2015 trade show.
