Adult Swim Reveals Trailers for Ninja Kamui From Sunghoo Park Anime
A former ninja clan member swears vengeance upon a mysterious shadow organization that killed his wife and son in the new series Ninja Kamui, premiering Saturday, February 10 at midnight ET/PT on Adult Swim’s famed action/anime programming block Toonami.
New episodes of Ninja Kamui will be available the next day on Max.
An explosive story of revenge, Ninja Kamui follows a former ninja clan member who is 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.
The series comes from God of High School and Jujutsu Kaisen director Sunghoo Park, whose anime feature Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is Japan’s 14th highest-grossing Japanese-produced film in history.
Ninja Kamui follows Joe Higan who is a Nukenin – a former ninja who escaped his clan and is hiding from his violent past in rural America with his family. One night, he is ambushed by a team of assassins from his former organization who exact a bloody retribution on Joe and his family for betraying their ancient code. Rising from his seeming “death,” Joe will re-emerge as his former self – Ninja Kamui – to avenge his family and friends. Kamui is a 21st century ninja, a shadowy anachronism who pits his ancient skills against high-tech weaponry with brutal finesse. He must face off against trained assassins, combat cyborgs, and rival ninjas to bring down the very clan that made him.
Ninja Kamui features original character designs by Takashi Okazaki (Afro Samurai) and a new song from the Japanese band Coldrain. It is produced by E&H production (MONSTERS 103 Mercies Dragon Damnation) and Sola Entertainment (Lord of The Rings: War of The Rohirrim, Blade Runner: Black Lotus).
A videogame adaptation entitled Ninja Kamui: Shinobi Origins will also arrive in spring 2024.
