A tweet from the official account of "Sand Land," the upcoming anime adaptation of Akira Toriyama's manga, provided fans with new information on Tuesday. The update included additional cast members and an captivating new poster for the film, further shaping the exciting project.

"Satan," a main character, is brought to life by the vocal talent of Akio Ōtsuka, while other notable additions include Chafurin, Tomokazu Sugita, Koji Yusa, Hiroyuki Yoshino, and Masafumi Kobatake. These talented artists will portray roles such as the "King," the "Swimmer's Dad," the "Pike," the "Shark," and the "Guppy," adding depth and diversity to the film.
The main cast, as previously announced, features Mutsumi Tamura as "Beelzebub," Kazuhiro Yamaji as "Rao," Chō as "Thief," Satoshi Tsuruoka as "General Are," and Nobuo Tobita as "General Zau."
The animated film is in the capable hands of director Toshihisa Yokoshima. Together with Hiroshi Koujina, who serves as a directing advisor, the team aims to bring the pages of "Sand Land" to life in motion pictures. Screenwriter Hayashi Mori will adapt the story for the film, while Yoshikazu Iwanami oversees sound direction and Yūgo Kanno composes the film's music.
"SAND LAND" depicts a dystopian future where a wasteland replaces the war-ravaged Earth. Water, a scarce resource, is ruthlessly controlled by a greedy king. The plot revolves around the search for a long-lost lake, where Sheriff Rao, the son of the Demon King Beelzebub, and an assistant named Thief form an unlikely alliance. The story unfolds as they make their way through the desert, encountering dragons, bandits, and the terrifying army of the king.
