The “Academy Island Incident” in which all four “kings” cross paths... Since then, Silver Clansmen Kuroh Yatogami and Neko have been searching for their master, Shiro. Without finding any clues to Shiro's whereabouts, the two became disheartened. However, one day, they see HOMRA members Rikio Kamamoto and Anna Kushina being chased by someone.
Voice actor Masakazu Morita (Yukari Mishakuji) and producer Gou Nakanishi (Flowers of Evil, Fafner, Knights of Sidonia) will attend Friday's screening at Los Angeles' Downtown Independent theater. Moviegoers in both the United States and Canada will receive a special edition B4 sized movie program, while supplies last.
Anime Expo in L.A. and Japan Expo in Paris hosted the world premieres of K: Missing Kings earlier this month. Eleven Arts also plans to screen the film in Canada starting in late September.
The television anime premiered in 2012, and Viz Media streamed it in North America as it aired. An English dub streamed on Viz's Neon Alley service. Viz released the series on Blu-ray and DVD.
