posted on by Alex Mateo
Viz Media began streaming an English dub trailer for the anime of Shu Sakuratani's Rooster Fighter (Niwatori Fighter) manga on Friday. The company's panel for the series at New York Comic Con previewed the dub's world premiere.
The English dub stars:
- Patrick Seitz as Keiji
- Luci Christian as Elizabeth
- Kimoy Lee as Piyoko
- Robbie Daymond as Keisuke
- Roger Rose as Morio
Viz describes the story:
Keiji is more than just an ordinary rooster—he's humanity's greatest defender! His opponents may be ten stories tall, but nothing is bigger than his stout heart and his fearsome battle cry—Kokekokko!
Daisuke Suzuki (D4DJ All Mix) is directing the anime at SANZIGEN. Hiroshi Seko (Jujutsu Kaisen, Mob Psycho 100) is in charge of the series scripts. Joseph Chou (Knights of the Zodiac: Saint Seiya) and Sola Entertainment are producing.
Viz is the representative for the anime's worldwide streaming, television broadcast, electronic sell-through (EST), home video, and merchandising outside of Japan. Hero's Inc. will manage EST, home video, and merchandising in Japan. Adult Swim will air the anime, and Viz will reveal additional streaming partners at a later date.
Sakuratani debuted the manga on the Comiplex manga website in December 2020. Hero's published the manga's 10th compiled book volume on July 4. Viz licensed the manga and published the eighth volume in English on August 19.
