Fans of the global phenomenon Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba are eagerly anticipating a momentous panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, set to feature an extraordinary lineup of guests including singer LiSA, Tanjiro’s Japanese voice actor Natsuki Hanae, and key representatives from the acclaimed animation studio ufotable. This highly anticipated event, titled “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle,” will take place in the prestigious Hall H on Saturday, July 26, at 5:45 p.m. PDT.
The panel is poised to be a landmark occasion for the franchise, not least because it marks the first time that studio ufotable has sent representatives to a U.S. event since the original Demon Slayer anime series premiered in 2019. This rare appearance underscores the immense importance of the upcoming Infinity Castle film project, which is the focus of the presentation.
Attendees will be treated to an exclusive first look at never-before-seen footage from the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle film, promising deep insights into the next chapter of Tanjiro Kamado’s battle against Muzan Kibutsuji and his demonic forces. This cinematic installment is described as a “three-part cinematic movie” that will cover the manga’s “Infinity Castle” arc, depicting an “all-out battle” crucial to the series’ narrative. The first film in this trilogy is scheduled to premiere in Japan on July 18, 2025, followed by its release in the United States and Canada on September 12, 2025.
The guest list for the panel is nothing short of impressive, bringing together pivotal figures responsible for the anime’s immense success. Joining Natsuki Hanae, the beloved voice behind protagonist Tanjiro Kamado, will be Aleks Le, the English voice actor for Zenitsu Agatsuma. Their presence offers a unique opportunity for both Japanese and English-speaking fans to connect with the voices that bring these iconic characters to life.
Musical sensation LiSA, renowned for her powerful vocal performances on Demon Slayer‘s most iconic theme songs, is also confirmed to attend. LiSA’s contributions, particularly her performance of “Gurenge” which served as the opening theme for the first season, have been instrumental in the series’ global recognition and are celebrated for perfectly capturing the anime’s spirit. Her appearance at San Diego Comic-Con follows her performance at last year’s Crunchyroll Concert Series, marking a continued engagement with her U.S. fanbase.
Further solidifying ufotable’s direct involvement, the panel will feature Director Haruo Sotozaki and Director of Photography Yuichi Terao. Their insights will provide valuable behind-the-scenes perspectives on the meticulous animation and stunning visual quality that have become hallmarks of the Demon Slayer anime. Ufotable is widely praised for its attention to detail and dramatic animation, which have been key factors in the series becoming a blockbuster hit.
Beyond the main panel, Crunchyroll, a major distributor of the series, will also host interactive experiences at Booth #4135 throughout the Comic-Con weekend, inspired by the upcoming film. This provides additional avenues for fans to immerse themselves in the world of Demon Slayer and celebrate its continued expansion.
The “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle” panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2025 is set to be a highlight for anime enthusiasts, offering exclusive content and direct engagement with the creative minds and voices behind one of the most popular anime franchises worldwide.
