Two Powerful Voices Join the Nippon Sangoku Anime: Ryōta and Shunsuke Takeuchi!
New cast news continues to arrive for the ongoing anime Nippon Sangoku, one of the most notable productions of the spring season! According to the announcement made on the series' official social media accounts, voice actors have been determined for two new characters who play key roles in the story. Ryōta Takeuchi will bring the character Gō Sugō to life, while Shunsuke Takeuchi will voice the character Shiryō Nagamine. Both artists are preparing to reinforce the atmosphere of this military drama with their characteristic and powerful vocal tones in the industry.
Based on Ikka Matsuki's popular manga, Nippon Sangoku focuses on a Japan where civilization has collapsed following nuclear war and natural disasters. In this new "Warring States" era, where the country is divided into three great kingdoms, our main character Aoteru Misumi (voiced by Kenshō Ono) aims to reunite the country with his intelligence and oratorical skills. The series receives full marks from genre enthusiasts for containing not only action but also deep political intrigue and social criticism.
The production team behind the anime consists of names as ambitious as its subject matter. The production, prepared by Studio Kafka, is directed by Kazuaki Terasawa, whom we know from The Ancient Magus' Bride series. While character designs are entrusted to the master of Vinland Saga, Takahiko Abiru, the music is composed by Kevin Penkin, who worked wonders with Made in Abyss. This talented team is proof of why the series is of such high quality both visually and aurally.
Nippon Sangoku began its television broadcast in Japan on April 7, 2026, and continues to be broadcast simultaneously for global audiences via Amazon Prime Video. This work, which has been published on the Manga ONE platform since 2021 and has gained a large fan base, is one of the most ambitious productions of the year for anime lovers looking for a modern "Three Kingdoms" epic. We look forward to watching the performances of the newly joined voice actors in the upcoming episodes!
