It has been announced that a new project for the anime 'Mononoke' will start. In the newly released video, the appearance of 'Medicine Seller: Sword of Inui', who will be the third medicine seller, was introduced for the first time. The voice of this 'Medicine Seller of Inui' will be played by Hirofumi Araki, who previously portrayed the medicine seller in the stage play. The character design is handled by Koko Nagata. It was also decided that three new novels will be published by Kadokawa Bunko, each featuring one of the three medicine sellers as the protagonist: the 'Medicine Seller of Han' from the TV series, the 'Medicine Seller of Kon' from the theatrical version, and the 'Medicine Seller of Inui' from this new project. Even after the movie trilogy ends, 'Mononoke' continues to show new developments, drawing high expectations from fans.
