Poor Little Rich Boy Joins the Cast of Tribe Nine TV Anime
A new cast member has been revealed for Tribe Nine, an upcoming TV anime based on the mixed media project created by Too Kyo Games, Kazutaka Kodaka, and Shuhei Yamaguchi about groups of young people who compete for territory in a combat sport known as "eXtreme Baseball". The new cast member announced is:
Kensho Ono as Eiji Todoroki, a member of the Setagaya Tribe who thinks money is more important than anything.
Set in Neo Tokyo, Tribe Nine follows the adventures of various "tribes" of young people who play XB ("eXtreme Baseball") matches. Against this backdrop, Haru Shirokane, a boy who came from across the sea, aims to grow stronger because he is always being bullied. He meets Shun Kamiya, the leader of the Minato Tribe – which is said to be the strongest in Neo Tokyo – and the two bond over their love of XB. However, soon all of the tribes are under threat from the mysterious Tenshin Otori, the self-proclaimed king of Neo Tokyo, and the members of the Chiyoda Tribe, who wish to conquer all…
Tribe Nine is directed by Yū Aoki and features animation production by Liden Films. The series is scheduled to begin broadcasting in Japan in January of 2022, and it will also stream in the United States via Funimation.
