The upcoming Inherit the Winds TV anime revealed a new cast member today. Voice actor Takeo Otsuka (Shinichi Akiyama in LIAR GAME ) plays Yamanami Keisuke , the vice-captain of the Mibu Roshigumi. The series broadcasts in Japan beginning in January 2027. The Inherit the Winds TV anime is inspired by the first story in the popular Tachikawa Jinsuke stage play tetralogy performed by the theatre group Caramel Box since 1996. Set in the time around the Meiji Restoration, the series follows the fictional Shinsengumi soldier Jinsuke Tachikawa (voiced by Daisuke Sakuma) as he lives in a rapidly changing Japan. Inherit the Winds introduces Tachikawa as he enters the war and deals with the ramifications of the Kinmon incident. The stories are penned by playwrights Yutaka Narui and Azuki Mashiba. Tomohiro Kawamura directs the anime adaptation at Live2d Creative Studio and Drive Inc., with scripts by Yutaka Narui, character designs by Fumi Ebina and music by Shigeru Kishiba.
