These characters will be respectively voiced by actors Kengo Kawanishi, Nobunaga Shimazaki, Ryota Ohsaka, Taichi Ichikawa, Yuichiro Umehara, and Yuko Kaida.
The new poster features the CLAMP-designed characters garbed in various traditional Japanese clothes that depict the story of the original manga series. The series is set on a story about kabuki, a classic traditional Japanese art of dance and drama. It is incorporated with a modern outtake wherein a high school student starts a kabuki club and goes through the adventures of finding students to join the said club.
The anime “Kabukibu!”, otherwise called as “Kabukibu! Kabuki Club” has been slated to release in April 2017. The anime series will kick off with 12 episodes and any further seasons to follow has yet to be announced by Studio Deen.
