The new cast members make up the Adachi tribe, including:

A character setting of Rankichi Umeda from the upcoming Tribe Nine TV anime. Rankichi is a slight young man with his hair pulled back into a dreds-ponty tail combination. He carries six knives between his fingers and wears motorcycle leathers and boots.


Toshiki Masuda as Rankichi Umeda.

 

A character setting of Tatsuto Tatsunuma from the upcoming Tribe Nine TV anime. Tatsuto is a tall, intimidating young man with a blonde regent pompadour hair cut. He wears motorcycle leathers and boots.

 

And Shunsuke Takeuchi as Tatsuto Tatsunuma.

 

 

Set in Neo Tokyo, Tribe Nine follows the adventures of various "tribes" of young people who play XB ("eXtreme Baseball") matches. Against this backdrop, Haru Shirokane, a boy who came from across the sea, aims to grow stronger because he is always being bullied. He meets Shun Kamiya, the leader of the Minato Tribe - which is said to be the strongest in Neo Tokyo - and the two bond over their love of XB. However, soon all of the tribes are under threat from the mysterious Tenshin Otori, the self-proclaimed king of Neo Tokyo, and the members of the Chiyoda Tribe, who wish to conquer all...

Tribe Nine is directed by Yū Aoki and features animation production by Liden Films. The series is scheduled to begin broadcasting in Japan in January of 2022, and it will also stream in the United States via Funimation.
