Kodoani.com – Kadokawa has revealed the fifth character promotional video for the anime adaptation of the manga “Trillion Game” by Riichirou Inagaki and Ryōichi Ikegami on Thursday. The video features the character Rinrin Takahashi, voiced by Yuki Tanaka. The anime's production staff has released character videos for five consecutive weeks.
The anime will premiere in October on TBS and other channels in Japan.
The stars of the anime include:
Takeo Ōtsuka as Haru Tennōji Shōya Ishige as Manabu “Gaku” Taira MAO as Kirika Kokuryu Hiroki Tōchi as Kazuki Kedōin Yuki Tanaka as Rinrin Takahashi Takaya Hashi as Kazuma Kokuryu Masaaki Mizunaka as Nagase Shion Wakayama as Mizuki
The manga focuses on the carefree Haru and the serious Gaku, two guys who set out to make a trillion dollars so they can buy anything they want in the world. Haru is an eloquent, convincing, and confident speaker, which makes him popular. Gaku is a clumsy but highly skilled programmer. The two were high school classmates and met again when Gaku's job application to a banking company was rejected.
Inagaki (Eyeshield 21, Dr. Stone) and Ikegami (Crying Freeman) launched the manga in Shogakukan's Big Comic Superior magazine in December 2020. Shogakukan published the manga's ninth compiled volume on April 30.
The manga inspired a live-action film adaptation that premiered on TBS and its affiliates in July 2023. Ren Meguro from the idol group Snow Man plays the protagonist Haru Tennōji, while Hayato Sano plays Manabu “Gaku” Taira. Netflix is streaming the series, and the series will also get a live-action adaptation in 2025 with the cast returning.
