The production of the animated series Scum of the Brave (Yūsha no Kuzu) has announced two more voice actors for important roles.

Kenjirō Tsuda lends his voice to Lord "Amber Thorn" (in Japanese Kohaku no Ibara Kyō). This character is a powerful leader in the criminal underworld, involved in illegal dealings, who has a high bounty on his head. He will represent one of the first challenges for the main characters.

The role of Kiyoto Takamiya is voiced by Shinichirō Miki. This character is portrayed as an experienced professional who takes on a mentor-like function for the protagonist Yashiro.

The series is based on the manga series of the same name by Rocket Shokai and Nakashima723, which has been published since 2018. The plot is set in a dystopian version of the 21st century in Tokyo, where criminal syndicates are led by so-called "Demon Lords." The government officially opposes them with licensed bounty hunters called "Heroes" or "Brave Ones." The series follows the lone hero Yashiro, who reluctantly takes a group of young trainees under his wing.

The anime adaptation is produced by Studio OLM, directed by Shinji Ushiro. The series premiered on January 11, 2026.
