TL;DR, The Oni no Hanayome TV anime revealed three additional cast members and posted a second character promotional video. The series is slated to premiere in July 2026.
A brush of folklore meets modern romance as TV plans solidify. The official website announced new details for the Oni no Hanayome anime, unveiling three cast members, a second character promotional video, and a July 2026 broadcast window. The update tightens the rollout for The Ogre’s Bride on TV and gives fans another look at the tone and designs.
With voice talent named and a fresh teaser online, the project’s timetable and creative direction are clearer.
What the Oni no Hanayome announcement revealed
The franchise’s site posted a second teaser focused on characters, alongside three new voice credits and a firm summer slot. The clip is labeled as the second Oni no Hanayome character promo. It arrives with confirmation that the series will premiere in Oni no Hanayome July 2026, locking the Oni no Hanayome release date window.
The short video functions as a tone check. It highlights face shots, costume details, and brief voice samples that pair names with designs. The official note frames it as an incremental reveal rather than a full trailer, which fits the staged updates the project has used since its first character reel.
- Second character PV published by the official website.
- Three additional cast members and their roles confirmed.
- TV broadcast set for July 2026 in Japan.
- Staff page updated with core creatives already in place.
- Branding continues to use both Oni no Hanayome and The Ogre’s Bride.
- Video doubles as a check on voices and design direction.
The announcement reflects a steady summer slate cadence, where character-led teasers precede full promos. Similar beats have shown up in other projects’ marketing, like the second Prettiest Girl PV and cast rollout this season. Here, the focus stays tight on names, faces, and timing, which helps viewers connect roles to visuals months before broadcast.
Who joined the Oni no Hanayome cast and who is on staff
The update adds three performers to the Oni no Hanayome cast, pairing character, voice, and face with the new promo. Taito Ban voices Takamichi Araki, Nobunaga Shimazaki plays Ouga Kiyama, and Aya Endou is Sakurako Kiyama. The site credits list prior work for each actor as reference, grounding expectations for delivery and range.
- Takamichi Araki voiced by Taito Ban (Akujiki Reijou to Kyouketsu Koushaku).
- Ouga Kiyama voiced by Nobunaga Shimazaki (Saiki Kusuo no Psi-nan).
- Sakurako Kiyama voiced by Aya Endou (Date A Live).
Core staff are set and publicly named. Director Kazuhito Oomiya leads production at Colored Pencil Animation Japan. Yumi Kamakura handles series composition, Hikari Tanaka oversees main character design, Hiroko Shigekuni is credited as character designer, and Masaru Yokoyama composes the score, unifying romance pacing with folklore stakes.
- Director: Kazuhito Oomiya (studio: Colored Pencil Animation Japan).
- Series composition: Yumi Kamakura.
- Main character design: Hikari Tanaka.
- Character designer: Hiroko Shigekuni.
- Music: Masaru Yokoyama.
This lineup signals a character-first approach, with two design leads credited to translate light-novel art into animation. It also frames the Oni no Hanayome voice actors against music that often supports intimate dialogue. For context on how romance dramas pace casting beats, see this recent Kimi wo Aisuru cast announcement, which used similar staged reveals.
Where Oni no Hanayome started and why the PV matters
Kureha first shared the fantasy romance online in 2019 on the Novema! website. Starts Shuppan began releasing the Oni no Hanayome novel under its Starts Shuppan Bunko imprint in October 2020, with illustrations by Yuu Shiratani.
The series reached its ninth volume in May 2024. A manga adaptation by Jun Togashi launched on Star Shuppan’s noicomi web magazine in December 2021. Star Shuppan published the ninth manga volume on March 27.
For English readers, NTT Solmare started offering the Oni no Hanayome manga on Manga Plaza in March 2025. These steps laid the path that now leads to The Ogre’s Bride anime for television.
On Saturday, the official website shared two key updates for the TV adaptation. It revealed the second character promotional video and announced additional cast. Taito Ban plays Takamichi Araki.
Nobunaga Shimazaki plays Ouga Kiyama. Aya Endou plays Sakurako Kiyama. A first character promo was unveiled in March, and this follow up keeps the preview cycle moving.
The site lists a July 2026 premiere.
Colored Pencil Animation Japan produces the series with director Kazuhito Oomiya. Yumi Kamakura oversees series composition. Hikari Tanaka leads main character design, and Hiroko Shigekuni serves as character designer.
Masaru Yokoyama handles the music. With the second character promo live and July 2026 on the schedule, fans have a concrete window to plan for. To prepare, readers can follow the Oni no Hanayome novel and the Oni no Hanayome manga, both of which have nine volumes released, and the English manga on Manga Plaza.
For many, the Oni no Hanayome anime marks the natural bridge from page to screen.
