Isssa Kaburagi, Ryūhō Danchiku designs revealed for January 9 anime

The official website for the Yowamushi Pedal anime updated on Thursday with the character designs for Issa Kaburagi (top in pictures below) and Ryūhō Danchiku (bottom), two first-year high school members of the Sōhoku High Bicycle Club who will debut in Yowamushi Pedal: New Generation, the third anime season based on Wataru Watanabe's original manga. The site did not reveal the new characters' voice actors.


The cast for Team Sōhoku is returning from the first two seasons:

Daiki Yamashita as Sakamichi Onoda


Kōsuke Toriumi as Shunsuke Imaizumi


Jun Fukushima as Shōkichi Naruko


Daisuke Kishio as Junta Teshima


Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Hajime Aoyagi

The site previously revealed the cast members for Hakone Gakuen:

Tsubasa Yonaga as Sangaku Manami

Atsushi Abe as Tōichirō Izumida


Kenji Nojima as Yukinari Kuroda


Takuto Ashikiba


The anime will premiere on January 9 on TV Tokyo.

Osamu Nabeshima is returning to direct the series and Kurasumi Sunayama (Bakuon!!), who worked on scripts for the first two seasons, is taking over series composition. Yukiko Ban (Yowamushi Pedal movie) is designing the characters and Hiroyuki Horiuchi is designing the bikes. Kan Sawada is returning to compose the music. TMS Entertainment is again producing the animation.

Most of the other main staff members are returning from other Yowamushi Pedal anime:

The story of the original Yowamushi Pedal manga centers around Sakamichi Onoda, an otaku at Sōhoku High School. He loves anime and games so much, that he would ride his commuter bicycle to and from Tokyo's Akihabara shopping district in a 90-kilometer (about 60-mile) round trip over steep slopes after school. Onoda's life changes when he encounters his school's cycling team, and he ends up joining the competitive sport of bicycle racing.

The story of the third season is set after the previous two seasons and the August 2015 film, and after the previous third-year students have graduated.
