The long-awaited Uzumaki anime, slated for late 2024, has unveiled its English voice cast during the Production I.G x WIT x Signal.MD panel at Anime Expo. Here’s a rundown of the talented cast and their notable roles:
- Abby Trott (Nezuko Kamado in Demon Slayer) as Kirie Goshima
- Robbie Daymond (Megumi Fushiguro in Jujutsu Kaisen) as Shuichi Saito
- Cristina Vee (Killua in Hunter x Hunter) as Azami Kurotani
- Doug Stone (Psycho Mantis in Metal Gear Solid) as Kirie’s father
- Aaron LaPlante (Duke in Resident Evil: Village) as Shuichi’s father
- Mona Marshall (Izzy Izumi in Digimon) as Shuichi’s mother
- Max Mittelman (Red XIII in Final Fantasy VII Remake) as Katayama
Fans are eagerly anticipating the anime’s debut on Adult Swim later this year, especially after creator Junji Ito confirmed that the first episode met his high expectations. Originally delayed to ensure fidelity to Ito’s intricate designs and detailed line work, Uzumaki follows high school girl Kirie Goshima and her boyfriend as they unravel the chilling mystery of a haunting spiral pattern in their hometown.
This adaptation promises to bring Ito’s signature brand of horror to life, capturing the unsettling atmosphere and psychological tension that define his acclaimed manga.
