Golden Kamuy Anime Video Reveals October Premiere For Season 4

At the NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan booth at AnimeJapan 2022 on Sunday, additional staff and the first promotional video for the fourth season of the anime series Golden Kamuy were revealed. The anime is scheduled to premiere in October 2022.



Brains Base will animate the new season instead of Geno Studio. Shizutaka Sugahara is the chief director, replacing director Hitoshi Nanba. Noboru Takagi returns to oversee the series' scripts. Takumi Yamakawa is the new character designer, succeeding Kenichi Ohnuki.

Golden Kamuy adapts the historical adventure manga by Satoru Noda, which began in Young Jump magazine in August 2014.

Viz Media licensed the manga in 2016 and describes the story as follows:

In the early twentieth century, Russo-Japanese War veteran Saichi "Immortal" Sugimoto ekes out a meager existence in the wilderness of Hokkaido during the postwar gold rush. When he stumbles upon a map leading to a fortune of hidden Ainu gold, he embarks on a treacherous quest. But Sugimoto isn’t the only interested party, and everyone who knows about the gold would kill to possess it! Facing the harsh conditions of the northern wilderness, ruthless criminals, and rogue Japanese soldiers, Sugimoto will need all his skills and luck—and the help of an Ainu girl named Asirpa—to survive.
