The newly announced cast includes:
The anime stars dancer and actor Mamoru Miyano as Kanbe's partner Katō (pictured left).
The anime will premiere on Noitamina programming block.
The story follows the incredibly wealthy Daisuke Kanbe who audaciously solves cases in unconventional ways. Whereas Tsutsui serialized the original novel from 1975 to 1977, the anime moves the setting into the modern day. Kanbe is assigned to the "Modern Crimes Task Unit" — a unit created to keep problematic officers away from others. There, Kanbe becomes partners with Katō.
Gizmodo Japan is credited with "gadget coordination" for ensuring that gadgets are realistically portrayed in the anime.
The original novel already inspired two live-action television series in 2005 and 2006 with a female protagonist, Miwako Kanbe. Tsutsui's other novels inspired Paprika anime films. Tsutsui's original Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Paprika novels as well as his other writings are available in English.
