The anime series "Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru - Kuden Burning Honnoji" is set to premiere in April with a total of eight episodes. Ahead of the broadcast, the production has now revealed character images featuring six sword fighters. These include the tachi sword Echizen Yasutsugu, the wakizashi sword Saya Yasutsugu, the tachi sword Ichigo Hitofuri, and the wakizashi sword Namazuo Toushirou. The characters are based on historical Japanese swords crafted by famous swordsmiths from various eras.

Among the voice actors reprising their roles from the game "Touken Ranbu ONLINE" are Takuya Sato, who voices Echizen Yasutsugu and Shokudaikiri Mitsutada, while other well-known actors lend their voices to the remaining characters. The anime is based on the stage play "Touken Ranbu" and follows the story of four sword warriors under the command of the historical figure Oda Nobunaga as they embark on a mission connected to the infamous Honnoji Incident.
