Director Sunghoo Park’s new anime series, an ‘explosive story of revenge,’ debuts in February on the action/anime programming block Toonami; episodes stream the next day on Max.
From director Sunghoo Park (God of High School, Jujutsu Kaisen) the highly anticipated anime series Ninja Kamui tells the story of a former ninja clan member who swears vengeance upon a mysterious shadow organization that killed his wife and son. The show premieres Saturday, February 10 at midnight ET/PT on Adult Swim’s action/anime programming block Toonami, with episodes available the next day on Max.
In the explosive story of revenge, Ninja Kamui follows a former ninja clan member haunted by the brutal murders of his family. Meanwhile, an FBI agent and his rookie partner also work to investigate the murders and uncover a vast global conspiracy.
“Ninja Kamui is a gripping action series about a hero hell-bent on payback,” shared Park. “The ninja of old Japan has been reimagined for the near future. I hope fans will enjoy the intense fight scenes and the human drama with unique characters.”
The show features the original character designs of Takashi Okazaki (Afro Samurai) and a new song from the Japanese band Coldrain. E&H Production (MONSTERS 103 Mercies Dragon Damnation) and Sola Entertainment (Lord of The Rings: War of The Rohirrim, Blade Runner: Black Lotus) produce.
A video game adaptation entitled Ninja Kamui: Shinobi Origins arrives Spring 2024.
