The upcoming anime will feature a star-studded cast, including Hiiro Ishibashi as Gai, Junya Enoki as Kaito Uesugi/Sลkyลซ no Kaito, Ayumu Murase as Musashi Hลjล/Suiren no Musashi, Shunsuke Takeuchi as Yamato Hลjล/Kลya no Yamato, and Kentarล Kumagai as Shion Ishida/Senkล no Shion.

The creative team behind this exciting project is equally impressive. Yลichi Fujita, known for his work on Gintama and Mr. Osomatsu, will be directing the anime at Sunrise. Shลgo Mutล, who previously worked on Crows Zero, will be supervising and writing the series scripts. The original story is credited to Hajime Yatate, the collective pen name for the creative staff at Sunrise. The character designs will be handled by Yลซhei Murota for the main characters, Tsukasa Kotoboki for the villains, Hideo Okamoto for the original Yoroi Gear designs, and Takuya Suzuki for the Yoroi Gear designs in animation. The music will be composed by Shลji Katayama, known for his work on Overlord.

Set in present-day Shinjuku, the new anime will follow the story of five boys who don Yoroi Gear samurai armor to battle the demon emperor Arago. This modern twist on the classic tale promises to deliver an exciting blend of traditional samurai action and contemporary storytelling.

Sunrise originally created Yoroiden Samurai Troopers, also known as Legendary Armor Samurai Troopers, in 1988-1989. The series was later adapted as Ronin Warriors by Cartoon Network in the United States. The series has been released on DVD by Bandai Entertainment and Discotek Media, with the latter also releasing the OVA series with both English and Japanese audio. Currently, Crunchyroll is streaming the anime.

The anticipation for Yoroi Shin Den Samurai Troopers is palpable, and fans are eagerly awaiting the January 2026 premiere. Stay tuned for more updates and get ready to immerse yourself in the world of samurai action like never before.
