Three additional voice actors have been announced for the TV anime series "Neko to Ryuu" ("The Cat and the Dragon"). At the same time, the production team released a second "Pick-up" promotional clip and a corresponding key visual. The new visual and the trailer titled "～Cats and Humans～" center on the relationships between the animal and human characters in the story.
The image shows three pairs: Mama-nyan with Annerossa, Kurobane with Stan, and Shirotae with Gally. The accompanying film offers initial insights into how these dynamics will unfold in the series and also reveals the characters' voices for the first time.
The newly announced roles and their voice actors are as follows:
- Gally: Atsumi Tanezaki. She portrays a wild girl from an orphanage who befriends Shirotae. Tanezaki expressed her excitement: "When I first encountered the work, it felt like reading an overseas picture book. As a lover of picture books and cats, I was immediately captivated."
- Annerossa: Chika Anzai. She voices a shy young wizard apprentice who forms a contract with Mama-nyan as a familiar. Anzai describes the series as a "warm and gentle world" that offers a break from everyday life.
- Stan: Junya Enoki. He lends his voice to the prince of the land where cats and dragons live. Stan has been raised by Kurobane since childhood. Enoki characterizes his character as "refreshing" and full of drive.
"Neko to Ryuu" will premiere in July 2026 on Japanese TV channels such as TOKYO MX and BS NTV, as well as on streaming platforms. The fantasy narrative revolves around a dragon raised by a cat mother and showcases the extraordinary bond between the dragon, the cats, and the humans.
