Two More Teenage Goons Join the Cast of Tokyo Revengers TV Anime

Takemichi's middle school punk friends give him the stink-eye while cruising through the subway in search of a fight in a scene from the Tokyo Revengers TV anime.

 

The teenage delinquent population continues to expand, because two more cast members have been revealed for Tokyo Revengers, a currently broadcasting TV anime based on the time-slip crime drama manga by Ken Wakui about a young man who journeys back to his days as a middle school punk in an effort to save the life of his former girlfriend. The new cast members include:

 

A character setting of Chifuyu Matsuno from the Tokyo Revengers TV anime. Chifuyu is appears as a small statured young man with shaggy, bleached blonde hair and a vicious grin. He is dressed in black "suicide clothes" with yellow kanji trim and a pair of motorcycle riding boots.

 

Shō Karino as Chifuyu Matsuno.

 

A character setting of Kazutora Hanemiya from the Tokyo Revengers TV anime. Kazutora appears as a young man with his hair done up in locks with bleached blonde highlights and a prominent neck tattoo. He's dressed in casual clothes: a white jacket, black T-shirt, black pants, and white tennis shoes.

 

And Shun'ichi Toki as Kazutora Hanemiya.

 

 

Crunchyroll describes the story of Tokyo Revengers as follows:

 

Takemichi Hanagaki is a freelancer that's reached the absolute pits of despair in his life. He finds out that the only girlfriend he ever had in his life that he dated in middle school, Hinata Tachibana, had been killed by the ruthless Tokyo Manji Gang. The day after hearing about her death, he's standing on the station platform and ends up being pushed over onto the tracks by a herd of people. He closes his eyes thinking he's about to die, but when he opens his eyes back up, he somehow had gone back in time 12 years. Now that he's back living the best days of his life, Takemichi decides to get revenge on his life by saving his girlfriend and changing himself that he'd been running away from.
