Last weekend, the official YouTube Channel of Adult Swim recently uploaded a preview trailer for the Ninja Kamui anime.
Adult Swim will be airing in the anime during the Toonami programming block on February 10 both in Japanese (with English subtitles) and in English dub. The anime will also be available for streaming on Max on the following day.
Jujutsu Kaisen anime Sunghoo Park will be directing the anime while Takeshi Okazaki will be handling character design. Takeshi previously handled Afro Samurai, Batman Samurai, and Star Wars: Visions). The anime will be produced under Sunghoo Park’s new studio E&H Production and Sola Entertainment.
Aside from the upcoming anime adaptation, a game adaptation Ninja Kamui: Shinobi Origins is slated to be released in Spring 2024.
Adult Swim describes Ninja Kamui as follows:
“Ninja Kamui follows Joe Higan who is a Nukenin – a former ninja who escaped his clan and is hiding from his violent past in rural America with his family. One night, he is ambushed by a team of assassins from his former organization who exact a bloody retribution on Joe and his family for betraying their ancient code. Rising from his seeming “death,” Joe will re-emerge as his former self – Ninja Kamui – to avenge his family and friends. Kamui is a 21st century ninja, a shadowy anachronism who pits his ancient skills against high-tech weaponry with brutal finesse. He must face off against trained assassins, combat cyborgs, and rival ninjas to bring down the very clan that made him.”
