At the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, Adult Swim announced the Ninja Kamui anime will receive two more seasons from Sola Entertainment. The first of the two new seasons is titled Ninja Kamui Season Two: Red Vendetta, and it will “follow Higan as he uncovers a new conspiracy of cataclysmic proportions.”
Previously, Adult Swim, Rainmaker Productions, Sola Entertainment, and developer G.rev teamed up to develop Ninja Kamui: Shinobi Origins, which is available now for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam. Ninja Kamui: Shinobi Origins is an action game that adapts an “untold” story of the Ninja Kamui anime.
Ninja Kamui is an original work by Adult Swim with character designs by Takeshi Okazaki (Afro Samurai, Batman Ninja). Jujutsu Kaisen and Monsters director Sunghoo Park directed the anime at studio E&H production, while Sola Entertainment produced the series. The anime premiered on February 11, 2024 for Adult Swim’s Toonami programming block.
Lastly, here’s an overview of the anime series from Adult Swim:
Ninja Kamui follows Joe Higan who is a Nukenin – a former ninja who escaped his clan and is hiding from his violent past in rural America with his family. One night, he is ambushed by a team of assassins from his former organization who exact a bloody retribution on Joe and his family for betraying their ancient code. Rising from his seeming “death,” Joe will re-emerge as his former self – Ninja Kamui – to avenge his family and friends. Kamui is a 21st century ninja, a shadowy anachronism who pits his ancient skills against high-tech weaponry with brutal finesse. He must face off against trained assassins, combat cyborgs, and rival ninjas to bring down the very clan that made him.
