Ghost: Yoru no Hate has added three more names to its voice cast: Kenjirou Tsuda, Hiroki Yasumoto and Hiroshi Kamiya. The original anime film’s official website announced the additions on Wednesday, according to MyAnimeList News.
The film is scheduled to reach Japanese cinemas on 11 February 2027. Before that theatrical release, it has already had previews at two film festivals in October.
For anyone keeping an eye on original anime movies alongside the usual adaptation announcements, this update offers another concrete detail to follow: which actors will voice three of the film’s characters.
Who’s joining the cast?
The newly announced character and actor pairings are:
- Moby Dick — Kenjirou Tsuda, whose credits include Jujutsu Kaisen.
- Karate — Hiroki Yasumoto, whose credits include Koukaku Kidoutai (TV).
- Itou — Hiroshi Kamiya, whose credits include Shingeki no Kyojin.
Those are the confirmed assignments in the announcement. The supplied report does not explain the characters’ personalities, their relationships or how they fit into the story, so there is not enough here to judge what kind of performances these roles will demand.
The character names are certainly distinctive, but treating them as clues to the plot would be speculation. For now, the useful takeaway is the casting itself rather than any theory about who these three might be.
Two festival previews ahead of the cinema release
Ghost: Yoru no Hate was previewed at Sitges Film Festival on 9 October, followed by Animation Is Film Festival on 17 October.
That puts both festival appearances ahead of this week’s additional-cast announcement and several months before the scheduled Japanese theatrical opening. These dates refer to different stages of the film’s rollout; the October previews should not be confused with its February cinema release.
Shingo Natsume, identified in the source with One Punch Man, is directing the original film. An earlier announcement linked in the supplied material also places the production at Madhouse.
Why it’s worth tracking from Malaysia and SEA
Analysis: If Natsume’s involvement or any of these actors catches your attention, this is a straightforward reason to put Ghost: Yoru no Hate on your watchlist. The update gives you specific cast information to follow without needing to buy into predictions about the finished movie.
There is an important distinction for readers here, though: the release date reported is for Japan. The supplied source does not announce Malaysian or wider Southeast Asian cinema availability, a streaming platform or a regional release window.
So, keep the excitement focused on what is actually confirmed: three additional cast members, two October festival previews and a Japanese theatrical date. Whether and when viewers in our region can watch it remains unanswered by this announcement.
