Crunchyroll has officially confirmed it will stream the Kagurabachi anime adaptation starting April 2027 — and Singapore is in the streaming territory. The series will be available on Crunchyroll worldwide, excluding Japan, Mainland China, North Korea, and South Korea, putting it within reach of fans here from the first episode.
Why Kagurabachi Has Shonen Fans Excited
Based on the manga by Takeru Hokazono, serialised in Weekly Shonen Jump since 2023, Kagurabachi follows Chihiro Rokuhira — a young swordsman driven by revenge, wielding the enchanted blade Enten. The series built a devoted readership unusually quickly for a new Jump title, drawing fans in with its striking visual style and a lean, unrelenting revenge narrative that wastes no time on filler.
The Studio and Creative Team
The adaptation is directed by Tetsuya Takeuchi, with character design by Keigo Sasaki. Animation production is handled by Crunchyroll-announced studio Cypic, whose previous credits include Umamusume: Pretty Derby — Cinderella Gray and The Summer Hikaru Died. The studio is relatively young, but those projects signal it can handle both high-energy action sequences and the quieter, more atmospheric moments Kagurabachi demands.
Japanese Voice Cast — What Has Been Confirmed
Three members of the Japanese voice cast have been announced so far:
- Chihiro Rokuhira — voiced by Taihi Kimura
- Kunishige Rokuhira (Chihiro’s father, a master swordsmith) — voiced by Tomokazu Seki
- Togo Shiba — voiced by Katsuyuki Konishi
The most recent addition is Katsuyuki Konishi as Togo Shiba, announced alongside a new character visual and dedicated character trailer. Further casting is expected to be revealed closer to the April 2027 premiere.
