#New Shaman King TV Anime Rocks Out with BoZ Brothers Casting

The BoZ Brothers have been cast for the new Shaman King anime, and these monks are ready to rock. The latest actors to join the fresh adaptation of Hiroyuki Takei’s hit manga are Kisho Taniyama and Tatsuhisa Suzuki, who will voice Zen Yoneda and Ryo Sugimoto, respectively.

Both characters will appear in Episode 10, which airs in Japan on June 3. The rest of us will have to wait until Netflix starts streaming the series outside of Japan later this year, but for now you can see the character art for both below.

Kodansha USA publishes the Shaman King manga in English and sums it up below: 

In the world of Shaman King, shamans possess mysterious powers that allow them to commune with gods, spirits, and even the dead…and Manta Oyamada’s about to learn all about them, because his class just welcomed a new transfer student: Yoh Asakura, a boy from way off in Izumo…and a shaman in training!
