After the news hit that Viz Media would be dubbing the K anime series at Studiopolis, it’s just been a bit of a waiting game to get the details on who has been cast in the fairly expansive character series that debuted back in the fall of 2012. With the series getting a Neon Alley premiere this summer, the service has made some noise about the cast and other tidbits have streamed in as well from other sources, resulting in a pretty solid cast list for the property.

Plot concept: From GoHands, the studio that brought you the cyberpunk anime film series Mardock Scramble, and the enigmatic writers’ collective GoRA Project comes K, the newest original anime series of 2012. Set in a world where history has taken a slightly different course from the one we’re familiar with, K follows the story of a young boy whose life is caught in a psychic war between seven kings. Yashiro Isana, also known as Shiro, is wanted for a crime he has no recollection of committing. He finds himself being hunted by the groups Homura, led by Mikoto Suoh, “The Red King,” and Scepter 4, led by Reisi Munakata, “The Blue King.” While on the run, a young man named Kuroh Yatogami helps him. This fated encounter will change Shiro’s life forever.
