Funimation Announces “Konohana Kitan” Dub Cast


It’s time to step back and enjoy an elegant yokai life. Oh, wait… that’s another series.

Earlier today, Funimation announced their English dub cast for Konohana Kitan. The series will star the following:

  • Yuzu: Lindsay Seidel
  • Satsuki: Dawn M. Bennett
  • Kiri: Morgan Garrett
  • Natsume: Emily Fajardo
  • Ren: Kate Oxley
  • Sakura: Jad Saxton

The team of Jad Saxton and Clifford Chapin is directing the adaptation, with Deborah Crane writing the scripts. Austin Sisk and Ryan Urbanovsky will work as ADR Engineers, while Gino Palencia serves as Mixing Engineer.

Konohana Kitan‘s dub will hit FunimationNow tomorrow at 4:00PM Eastern (1:00PM Pacific).

Konohana Kitan is based on Sakuya Amano’s manga of the same name. Hideki Okamoto (Battle Girls – Time ParadoxD.C. II: Da Capo II) is directing the show at Lerche, with Keiko Kurosawa (Re: HamatoraScum’s Wish) providing character designs. Takao Yoshioka (DearSInterviews with Monster Girls) is in charge of series composition for the title.

Funimation describes the title as:

Tucked away in a village inhabited by yokai, there’s a beautiful hot spring inn waiting to greet travelers from all over. Working here are several cute fox mononoke, including their newest employee, Yuzu. Clumsy and a little oblivious, Yuzu is learning what it takes to work in this high-class inn while charming everyone around her!
