The upcoming television anime adaptation of “Ushiro no Shoumen Kamui-san” (also known as “Kamui-san in the Back”) has generated significant excitement with a major announcement revealing its cast, staff, and premiere window. Produced by the Deregula animation label under WWWave Corporation, the series is scheduled to premiere in July 2026. This supernatural story, which began as an erotic manga serialized on Ura Sunday and MangaONE in 2020, is now poised to make its animated debut with a talented team behind it.
Star-Studded Cast and Key Creative Team
Heading the voice cast is the renowned Tomokazu Sugita, known for his roles in “Sakamoto Days” and many other iconic series, who will bring the enigmatic character Kamui to life. He will be joined by Riko Aono as Shizuka Mimizuka, Shiori Izawa as Inagawa, Yuuka Aisaka as Kyouko, and Mao Ichimichi as Oichi. Directing the series is Hiroshi Negishi, with Motofumi Nakajou handling series composition and Toshinari Yamashita leading character design. The production will be a collaboration between studios Zero-G and ZG-R, overseen by the Deregula production committee.
Anticipation for a 2026 Premiere
With a premiere date set for July 2026, fans have ample time to anticipate the adaptation of this popular manga, which has already released 12 volumes as of February 2025. The detailed staff list, including roles for art, color design, photography, editing, and sound, suggests a high level of production care. The announcement also intriguingly notes two different sound directors for an “on-air version” and a “complete deregula version,” hinting at potential variations in the final product. As more details are expected to emerge from the official website, the anime community eagerly awaits the arrival of “Kamui-san in the Back.”
