Golden Kamuy, the ongoing Spring 2018 anime based on a manga by Satoru Noda, introduced two new members of the cast. One of them is the Ainu Kiroranke, who will be voiced by Masaki Terasoma and the second one is Sergeant Tsukishima, who will be voiced by Eiji Takemoto.

Kiroranke is an old friend of Asirpa’s (VA: Haruka Shiraishi) father and former member of the 7th division. On the other hand is Sergeant Tsukishima, who is a subordinate of Tsurumi (VA: Hochu Otsuka). Teramasa said about his role, ‘Kiroranke is a very mysterious character and hard to play, but he will be my challenge.’

Golden Kamuy is set in Hokkaido during the Gold Rush in the late Meiji period and follows the adventures of the ‘immortal’ Sugimoto and the Ainu Asirpa, who try to find the treasure the Ainu have hidden somewhere. It airs every week on Monday, 23:00 (JST) and so far three episodes have been released.

Comment from Masaki Terasoma

Just the era that Golden Kamuy is set in is one of my favorites. Kiroranke is a very mysterious character and hard to play, but he will be my challenge. To make it a great anime, I will climb the mountain that is Kiroranke. Look forward to it.
