Additional cast for the upcoming anime Muhyo and Roji’s Bureau of Supernatural Investigation has been announced. Satomi Akesaka, Rie Kawamura, Wataru Hatano, Mitsuki Saiga, and Iori Nomizu will be working hard to present lively characters to the audience.
Muhyo and Roji is a dark fantasy story by Yoshiyuki Nishi and was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump between 2004-2008. It tells the story of the genius magician Toru Muhyo and his crybaby assistant Jiro Kusano (nicknamed Roji) who use the ‘magical law’ that regulates the interaction between humans and non-humans to send away evil spirits.
Kawamura, who plays the evil spirit and former classmate of Muhyo called Biko, said, ‘I fell into this story when I read it as a student and always wanted to see an anime of it, so when it got decided that I would be able to work for the series I was so excited and thankful and tense that I couldn’t sleep. I am incredibly honored to become a part of the series by voicing Biko.’
Akesaka plays Rio, the master of Biko and said, ‘I am sure there are many people who have been waiting for this anime for ten years or longer. At last, it is here! The unique worldbuilding and that feeling that everything is so horrible but you just can’t stop reading… I hope you will be able to enjoy the anime with the same feelings.’
Wataru Hatano, who voices the investigation leader of the wizard association Page Klaus, said, ‘Look forward to this story that will warm your heart! Also look forward to the powerful battle scene! I can’t wait to see the story unfold and see what kind of stories with what kind of people will air. Also, I am looking forward to meeting Imai!’, said Saiga, who voices Reiko Imai, the senpai of Yoichi.
High school student Nana Takenouchi wants to become a professional photographer and will be voiced by Nomizu. ‘Nana is a very direct girl who understands the hurt other people feel. I will work hard to make her the character everybody can’t help but love, just like in the manga.’
Muhyo and Roji starts airing in Summer 2018.
