Kōki Uchiyama, a prominent voice actor known for his diverse roles, has been officially cast in the upcoming Hotel Inhumans anime, set to premiere on July 6, 2025. Uchiyama will portray the character of Shao, an assassin featured in the anime’s inaugural episode. His character, Shao, is introduced as an individual severely wounded following a betrayal during what was intended to be his final mission, with his primary request being a reunion with his younger sister.
The Premise of Hotel Inhumans
The Hotel Inhumans anime plunges viewers into a unique establishment that caters exclusively to a clientele of professional assassins. Far from a typical luxury resort, this hotel offers an array of unconventional services designed to meet the specific and often illicit needs of its dangerous guests. These amenities include access to the latest weaponry, reliable fake identification, and flawless body disposal. The hotel’s concierges, Ikuo Hoshi and Sara Haizaki, are central to the narrative, operating under a strict policy of never refusing a guest’s request, no matter how morally ambiguous or perilous. The series promises a “killer hotel drama” that explores the desires and dilemmas of these “inhumans” living on the edge of life and death.
Key Cast and Production Details
Beyond Kōki Uchiyama’s role as Shao, the main cast features Yusuke Kobayashi as Ikuro Hoshi, a new hire at the hotel who reportedly feels uncomfortable with killing and blood. He is partnered with Hinano Shirahama, who voices Sara Haizaki, the cool-headed senior concierge.
The anime adaptation of Ao Tajima’s manga is being brought to life by Studio Bridge. Tetsuro Amino, known for his work on Shiki and Iwakakeru -Sport Climbing Girls-, is directing the series. Shoji Yonemura, who has contributed to Wave, Listen to Me! and Shaman King (2021), is in charge of the series composition. Character designs are handled by Shingo Fujisaki, and the musical score is composed by Koharu of the duo CHARAN-PO-RANTAN. The opening theme song, “Mister Moonlight,” is performed by imase, while the ending theme, “Merry Go Round,” is by NOA.
