Kagurabachi Anime Adds Miku Ito and Miyari Nemoto as Hinao and Char

Kagurabachi has added two more voices to its anime adaptation: Miku Ito as Hinao and Miyari Nemoto as young Char Kyonagi, alongside new character visuals and individual trailers for each. Ito said she “focused on keeping my performance relaxed and natural” after being drawn to Hinao during her first read of the manga.

Neither character leads the story, but both feed directly into it — Hinao is the one who brings Char into the orbit of the series’ main cast, making this casting reveal more of a connective-tissue update than a headline addition.

Who Hinao and Char Kyonagi Are

Hinao works at Cafe Haru Haru as an information broker who connects clients with sorcerers, and the visuals released alongside the announcement give her a twin-bun hairstyle and casual wardrobe meant to read as bright and approachable. In the story, she takes Char under her protection and introduces her to protagonist Chihiro Rokuhira and the rest of the cast.

Char Kyonagi is described as a cheerful, courageous young girl being pursued for reasons the anime hasn’t detailed. Her claim of knowing about “the most strongest sword” is what draws Chihiro’s attention in the first place. Nemoto has said Char’s dialogue is sparse enough that she felt added pressure to convey the character’s emotions in just a few lines.

The Voice Cast So Far

Ito and Nemoto join a roster that already includes Taihi Kimura as Chihiro Rokuhira — a role that earned him Best New Actor at the 2025 Seiyu Awards — along with Tomokazu Seki as Kunishige Rokuhira and Katsuyuki Konishi as Togo Shiba. No further casting has been announced beyond these five roles.

Behind the Adaptation

The series is directed by Tetsuya Takeuchi, with character designs from Keigo Sasaki, at studio Cypic, a CyberAgent subsidiary; Shochiku and CyberAgent lead the production committee. It’s set to premiere in April 2027, with Crunchyroll streaming it worldwide outside Japan, mainland China and the Koreas, alongside distribution from Muse Communication.

The reveal also lands as the source manga finds its footing again. Weekly Shonen Jump paused Kagurabachi‘s serialization after its June 29 issue following an earlier health-related break earlier this year. Creator Takeru Hokazono said he wanted to keep the series running, but he and the publisher agreed a pause would let production return to a steadier schedule; the manga resumed publication in August.

Kagurabachi began serialization in September 2023, has passed 4 million copies in circulation including digital sales, and won the print category at the 2024 Next Manga Awards. The anime hasn’t yet released a full trailer, theme song details or an exact April premiere date.
