Trillion Game Highlights Another Character, Shares More Cast News

The Trillion Game anime will be here in October, and ahead of this Kadokawa is offering character videos for five weeks. The third character video just dropped, and it’s all about Kirika Kokuryu.

A couple more voice actors were disclosed as well. Takaya Hashi, whose voice work includes Nicholas Rovof in Attack on Titan: No Regrets, Robert Accutrone in Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, and Froi Tiedoll in D.Gray-man, has been cast as Kazuma Kokuryu. And Masaaki Mizunaka, who has played Keisuke Baji in Tokyo Revengers, Takuma Sakamoto/Diablo in How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord, and Kakeru Ryūen in Classroom of the Elite, has been cast as Nagase.

It was previously revealed that Takeo Ōtsuka plays Haru Tennoji, Shoya Ishige plays Manabu “Gaku” Taira, M.A.O plays Kirika Kokuryu (as seen in the above character video), Hiroki Tochi plays Kazuki Kedoin, and Yuki Tanaka plays Rinrin Takahashi.

Trillion Game is being made at Madhouse, with Yuzo Sato of Kaiji helming the project as director. The person in charge of series scripts is Ryunosuke Kingetsu, who has worked on Police in a Pod. The music is composed by Takuro Iga, known for working on Asteroid in Love. Credit for character design goes to Kei Tsuchiya, who has also worked on Police in a Pod.

VIZ Media publishes the Trillion Game manga by Riichiro Inagaki and Ryoichi Ikegami in English and gave this description for the first volume:

After Haru and Gaku become the first Japanese people in the 21st century to be listed among the world’s top-ten billionaires, Gaku reflects on when he and Haru met and the events that led to the founding of their company. What started as a middle school acquaintanceship builds to a fruitful and unorthodox partnership as the two progress on their ruthless path to success.
