Adult Swim has revealed that the original action anime Ninja Kamui, announced in 2022, will debut on February 10 at midnight.
Additionally, Anime News Network reports that a video game titled Ninja Kamui: Shinobi Origins is coming this spring.
Ninja Kamui is directed by Sunghoo Park (Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1, The God of High School) and produced by his animation production company E&H Production. The revenge tale sees the protagonist, Joe Higan, setting his sights on a ninja organization that killed his family.
Manga artist and illustrator Takeshi Okazaki is listed as the character designer for the show, while Yann Le Gall (Meiji Gekken 1874) serves as art director.
Below is the full synopsis:
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.
