The anime adaptation of Tribe Nine will release in Japan on January 10, 2022. As Funimation is a co-producer for the upcoming Tribe Nine anime, it will be available from the streaming service. [Thanks, Famitsu!]
Tribe Nine follows different gangs in Tokyo who participate in “extreme baseball,” which is so intense that they usually look more like street fights. Akatsuki and Too Kyo Games first announced Tribe Nine in February 2020. Other pieces of Tribe Nine media that will debut soon include a mobile game. There is also already a 4-koma manga series that is available from the Tribe Nine Twitter account.
Here is the cast list so far:
- Shun Kamiya: Akira Ishida (Kaworu from Neon Genesis Evangelion)
- Haru Shirokane: Shun Horie (Aether from Genshin Impact)
- Taiga: Chiharu Sawashiro (Fret from NEO: The World Ends With You)
- Saori Arisugawa: Mai Fuchigami (Sadayo Kawakami from Persona 5)
- Santaro Mita: Mutsumi Tamura (Tsukasa Okino from 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim)
- Kazuki Aoyama: Shouya Chiba (Kou from JIbaku Shounen Hanako-kun)
- Tenshin Otori: Hiroshi Naka (Monkey D. Garp from One Piece)
