Phantom Busters anime reveals main cast and staff
The 2027 Phantom Busters anime has confirmed its four lead voice roles, director, character designers and TOHO animation STUDIO.
The Phantom Busters anime has revealed its four main voice roles and core staff, alongside a new teaser visual for the 2027 television adaptation of Neoshoco’s manga. The announcement comes from the series’ official website, which lists Nobuhiko Okamoto as Mogari Shishikuno, Natsuki Hanae as Eugene Korekishi, Kōki Uchiyama as Kaoru Kanzaki and Ryōta Suzuki as Kōtarō Tamon. 12
The cast and crew
Chika Nagaoka is directing the adaptation at TOHO animation STUDIO, with Takahiro Kishida and Rina Iwamoto handling character design. The official site’s introduction describes a supernatural school comedy built around Mogari, a student who can eat ghosts, and Eugene, a high-achieving classmate who does not believe they exist. 1
The newly announced cast fills out the central four-character group. Okamoto voices Mogari, while Hanae plays Eugene. Uchiyama takes the role of Kaoru Kanzaki, the manga-loving student who can see ghosts, and Suzuki plays Kōtarō Tamon, who can speak with them but struggles to communicate with people. 12
What the announcement confirms
The anime is scheduled for 2027, but the official website does not give a more precise broadcast date or streaming platform. It does confirm the production studio, director, character designers and principal cast, giving the adaptation a clearer shape ahead of its eventual premiere. 1
The manga launched in Shueisha’s Jump SQ. in 2023 and is published in English by VIZ Media, with digital chapters also available through the Shonen Jump app and MANGA Plus. Those publication details place the adaptation within an already established international manga release rather than introducing an entirely new property. 2
Our opinion
This is a promising cast announcement because the four leads have sharply different supernatural hooks: a ghost-eating exorcist, a sceptical academic, a character who can see spirits and someone who can talk to them. That gives Phantom Busters a clean ensemble premise before the anime has shown enough footage to judge its animation. The 2027 window is still broad, though, so the next meaningful update will be a trailer or a confirmed broadcast season rather than another round of character details.
