The February issue of Kadokawa Shoten's Monthly Newtype magazine is revealing on Tuesday that the following voice actors and actresses are joining the cast of the Zetman television anime series:

• Kana Hanazawa as Konoha Amagi (Kouga's little sister)
• Kōji Yusa as Seiji Haitani
• Mariya Ise as Hanako Tanaka
• Risa Hayamizu as Akemi Kawakami

The official website already announced in October that Daisuke Namikawa (Kimi ni Todoke, Hunter x Hunter) and Mamoru Miyano (Death Note, Chihayafuru) will play the main leads Jin Kanzaki and Kouga Amagi, respectively.

Masakazu Katsura is known for romance and comedy stories such as Video Girl Ai, DNA², and I''s, but he also created the decade-long Zetman hero action manga series in 2002. The story centers around Jin, a homeless boy whose true form is the new superhuman lifeform "ZET," and an industrial magnate's heir named Kouga with his own secret.

Osamu Nabeshima (D.Gray-man, Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas) is directing the project at TMS Entertainment. Atsuhiro Tomioka (Inazuma Eleven, Samurai 7, Pokémon) is writing the scripts, and Hirotoshi Takaya (Eyeshield 21, Puppet Princess/Karakuri no Kimi, Project ARMS) is designing the characters. Italian composer Gabriele Roberto (SPEC, Paco and the Magical Book) is in charge of the music.

The anime will premiere in April.
