Simba Tsuchiya to Voice Harada Sanosuke in Inherit the Winds Anime
According to Anime News Network, an important name has joined the cast of the new TV anime project Inherit the Winds. Simba Tsuchiya will voice Harada Sanosuke, the 10th squad captain of the Shinsengumi. The series is planned to meet audiences in January 2027.
Harada Sanosuke is known in historical records as the 10th squad commander of the Shinsengumi; he is a figure remembered for his mastery of the spear and his brave personality. Inherit the Winds, set in the turbulent atmosphere of the Bakumatsu period, aims to bring the spirit of the era and the internal conflicts of the Shinsengumi to the screen. How Tsuchiya will interpret this complex character is already a matter of curiosity.
Simba Tsuchiya is a name well known to anime fans. In particular, he received great acclaim for his role as Tatara Fujita in the anime Welcome to the Ballroom. Tsuchiya, who also continues his acting career, is an artist who has proven his talents by taking part in both theater and television projects. This experience seems likely to serve him well when portraying a character like Harada Sanosuke, who embodies both physical strength and internal conflicts.
The Shinsengumi is a frequently used theme in the anime and manga world. This historical unit, which has appeared in various interpretations from Hakuouki to Gintama, being adapted anew is exciting, especially for fans of period stories. The fact that Inherit the Winds centers on Harada Sanosuke, one of the Shinsengumi's little-known figures, adds a special depth to the project.
So far, no official announcement has been made regarding the production studio, director, and other cast members of the project. In the coming months, new names are expected to be announced and promotional activities for the production are expected to accelerate. Inherit the Winds, which has entered the radar of period anime fans ahead of its January 2027 premiere, may come up with more details at fairs and events in the fall of 2026.
