Executive Overview
At the landmark 15th anniversary of the Kyoto International Manga Anime Fair (Kyomaf 2026), Western Japan’s premier pop-culture trade show, a packed audience at the ROHM Theatre Kyoto South Hall witnessed the grand presentation of Kaze wo Tsumugu Mono (Those Who Spin the Wind). This highly anticipated original multimedia franchise is a joint venture between anime powerhouse Aniplex, technology pioneer Live2D Creative Studio, and animation house Drive.
The presentation served as a comprehensive reveal for the franchise’s ambitious release timeline. The project will debut with a two-week limited theatrical prologue event, Kaze wo Tsumugu Mono – Hajimari – (Spinner of Wind: The Beginning), starting November 13, 2026. This cinematic introduction will pave the way for the national television broadcast premiere in January 2027. The TV series has secured a prime late-night broadcasting slot on the CBC/TBS network’s national 28-station affiliate grid, airing Sundays at 23:30 JST under the popular "Aguru Anime" programming banner.
Kaze wo Tsumugu Mono offers a fresh take on the Shinsengumi, the legendary late-shogunate samurai police force. It stars Daisuke Sakuma (of the J-pop group Snow Man) as protagonist Takekawa Shuisuke, Gakuto Kajiwara as Numata Soji, and Koki Uchiyama as the iconic historical figure Hijikata Toshizo. The project aims to blend historical drama (Jidaigeki) with a modern aesthetic, utilizing Live2D animation technology to deliver a unique visual style.
Detailed Chronology
The Kyomaf 2026 South Hall Presentation
The promotional rollout for Kaze wo Tsumugu Mono peaked on the main stage of Kyomaf 2026. The ROHM Theatre Kyoto South Hall was filled to capacity with industry professionals, journalists, and fans. The stage event featured the three primary voice actors: Daisuke Sakuma, Gakuto Kajiwara, and Koki Uchiyama.
The event began with Sakuma, who served as the official "Ookini Ambassador" for Kyomaf 2026, welcoming the crowd. Because the Shinsengumi is deeply tied to Kyoto’s history, the panelists emphasized how meaningful it was to present the project in the city where these historical figures once lived and fought.
