Two New Voice Actors Join Junket Bank TV Anime: Wataru Hatano and Daisuke Hirakawa
Junket Bank anime adaptation has added two more important names to its cast just months before the beloved manga hits the screens. According to the official announcement, well-known figures in the voice acting world, Wataru Hatano and Daisuke Hirakawa, will take part in the series scheduled to begin in October 2026. While it has not yet been specified which characters Hatano and Hirakawa will voice, this move has greatly excited fans of the series.
Wataru Hatano is known for his unforgettable roles such as Keishin Ukai in Haikyuu!!, Ging Freecss in Hunter x Hunter, and Enmu in Demon Slayer. On the other hand, Daisuke Hirakawa is remembered for his characters Keiji Mogami in Mob Psycho 100, Joseph Joestar (adult) in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency, and Oruo Bozad in Attack on Titan. The duo will bring their experience to the gothic and mysterious atmosphere of Junket Bank. The previously announced main cast includes yet-to-be-revealed leads, which further increases anticipation.
Which studio is adapting the series and who is in the director's chair have not yet been officially announced. However, according to sources, the original Junket Bank manga reached a wide readership with its dark themes, striking visual style, and complex character relationships. The anime adaptation is expected to help the series reach a wider audience. Known especially for its story full of surprises and deep subtext, the work has the potential to be a quiet hit in the animation world as well.
More details regarding both new character introductions and the streaming platform are expected in the coming weeks. Junket Bank fans are already looking forward to the first trailer of the series, which will begin in October. The new cast announcements indicate that the production process of the series is entering its final stretch, which means a more comprehensive promotional campaign could begin soon.
