NHK revealed on Monday that Takuya Satō will join the cast of the television anime of Osamu Nishi's Mairimashita! Iruma-kun manga as the character Sabnock Saburo, the heir to the demonic throne whose burning passion is equal to millions.
NHK will reveal the cast members for the characters Sullivan and Opera on August 19.
Previously revealed cast members include:
- Ayumu Murase as Iruma Suzuki
- Ryōhei Kimura as Asmodeus Alice
- Ayaka Asai as Valac Clara
- Daisuke Ono as Naberius Callego
The story of Mairimashita! Iruma-kun follows Iruma, a kind-hearted 14-year-old boy whose parents sell him to demons for their own selfish interests. However, the demon he is sold to has no grandson of his own, so he dotes on Iruma and sends him to demon school.
Makoto Moriwaki (Onegai My Melody - Kuru Kuru Shuffle!, Tantei Opera Milky Holmes Dai-Ni-Maku, PriPara) is directing the anime at Bandai Namco Pictures, and Kazuyuki Fudeyasu (Princess Resurrection, Tantei Opera Milky Holmes, Girls' Last Tour) is in charge of series composition. Akimitsu Honma (RIN-NE, Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku) is composing the music. NHK and NHK Enterprises are credited for production.
The anime will premiere this October on NHK Educational, and it will have 23 episodes.
Nishi launched the manga in Akita Shoten's Weekly Shōnen Champion magazine in March 2017, and Akita Shoten published the 11th compiled volume on June 7.
