“Touken Ranbu the Movie: Dawn” will be Released on March 31, 2023! Featuring Yamambagiri Chougi (Umetsu Mizuki,) Higekiri (Sato Takamichi,) and Hizamaru (Yamamoto Ryosuke)
“Touken Ranbu the Movie: Dawn” has released a teaser visual and special trailer. Along with that, it was announced that the release date will be March 31, 2023. The upcoming movie is based on "Touken Ranbu ONLINE." It is a simulation game in which users train “Touken Danshi (swordsmen),” who are embodiments of prominent swords. The game became a social phenomenon, with a wide range of adaptations produced, including a musical in 2015, stage play in 2016, and an anime series. The previous film, which was the first live-action adaptation, was a blockbuster hit grossing 950 million yen at the box office, supported by ecstatic fans. Yakumo Seiji will continue to serve as the director for the long-awaited sequel. The cast members include Suzuki Hiroki as Mikazuki Munechika, Aramaki Yoshihiko as Yamambagiri Kunihiro, and Wada Masanari as Heshikiri Hasebe, who appeared in the previous film, and new members such as Umetsu Mizuki as Yamambagiri Chougi, who also plays the same role in the stage play "Touken Ranbu," Sato Takamichi as Higekiri, and Yamamoto Ryosuke as Hizamaru. In addition, the official website announced that Emoto Akira and Tsuda Kanji, both experienced actors, will appear in the film. Emoto will play the role of Fujiwara Michinaga, and Tsuda will act as Minamoto no Yorimitsu. These two actors, who have played various roles in many films, add depth to the film by acting as significant characters that serve as the starting point of the story. Although it is a short clip of 30 seconds, the trailer comprehensively covers the highlights of the film, such as the action scenes using wire work and aerial shoots using drones, providing a magnificent historical spectacle to the viewers. Although the entire story has not yet been revealed, fans wait for the film with high expectations since it was shot on locations throughout Japan with hundreds of extras and its scale is said to be much larger than the previous film. The teaser visual is also just as dynamic as the trailer, making fans crave more information. The film, which will be larger in scale than its predecessor, will herald the “dawn” of the new history of the “Touken Ranbu the Movie” by the story that develops in serious and unexpected way, the dynamic and beautiful images made of latest technology, and the actors' skillful sword fighting. © 2023 “Touken Ranbu the Movie” Production Committee/ NITRO PLUS・EXNOA LLC

“Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru” Including Hana no Maki, Kashuu Kiyomitsu & Yamatonokami Yasusada’s serious special kill shots, scene photos of the action have been released!
The third and final act of the trilogy, "Hana no Maki," the latest installment of the "Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru" series, is currently being screened in theaters from September 1, 2022. From the "Hana no Maki", scene photos of various actions in which the swords take on unprecedented enemies have arrived. Since its launch in January 2015, "Touken Ranbu -ONLINE-", a sword training simulation game in which famous swordsmen transform into warriors and fight to protect history, has gained a large following, especially among women, and is one of the reasons for the sword boom that has spread across the country. The game has also contributed to the sword boom that has swept the nation. "Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru" is based on "Touken Ranbu -ONLINE-", which is the first animated series and the first season of the TV series aired in 2016, followed by the second season in 2018. The series gained popularity for its depiction of the swordsmen's earnest and carefree daily lives in a "inner citadel." The talented staff who have created the world of "Hanamaru" have reunited for the latest production of "Special ‘Touken Ranbu Hanamaru’ -Setsugetsuka-". The recently released scene photos capture the action scenes of the sword fighters, and while there is a depiction of the heartwarming everyday life that is typical of "Hanamaru," "Hana no Maki" also features a wide variety of action scenes." The "inner citadel" swordsmiths are shown for the first time in this episode, and viewers can enjoy their appearance for the first time. Maeda Toshiro and Hirano Toshiro battle the enemy on an expedition, while Mikazuki Munechika, left behind in the Warring States Period, confronts the enemy despite his injuries. We also get to see the first battle scenes of Shokudaikiri Mitsutada and Heshikiri Hasebe in their full armor, as well as the "serious special kill" scene of Kashuu Kiyomitsu and his partner Yamatonokami Yasusada, who went into the dream world to open the hearts of a Saniwa sage and wake him up. The two swordsmen fighting for the Saniwa sage in the unknown world are a must-see. Will the swordsmen be able to safely awaken the Saniwa sage and protect their precious "Honmaru"? We look forward to seeing the swordsmen in action in the final "Hana no Maki". Act III "Hana no Maki" of "Special ‘Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru’ -Setsugetsuka-" will be in theaters nationwide from September 1, 2022.
