The panel, focusing on the upcoming Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle film project, is scheduled for Saturday, July 26, at 5:45 p.m. EDT in the iconic Hall H.
A Gathering of Key Talents
Fans will have the rare opportunity to see director Haruo Sotozaki and compositing director of photography Yuichi Terao from ufotable, marking their first appearance at a U.S. event since the original Demon Slayer television anime debuted in 2019. Their presence underscores the significance of the Infinity Castle project and offers attendees a unique chance to gain insights directly from the studio responsible for the anime’s breathtaking animation.
Joining them will be Natsuki Hanae, the acclaimed Japanese voice actor who brings the earnest protagonist Tanjiro Kamado to life. Also slated to appear is Aleks Le, the English voice actor for Zenitsu Agatsuma, ensuring a comprehensive representation of the series’ vocal talent for both Japanese and English-speaking audiences.
The panel’s lineup is further elevated by the inclusion of LiSA, the renowned theme song artist behind many of Demon Slayer‘s most iconic musical moments, including the electrifying opening theme “Gurenge” for the first season. LiSA’s return to San Diego Comic-Con follows her performance at the Crunchyroll Concert Series in 2024, which marked her first U.S. appearance since 2015.
