Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie", two main cast members continue from the TV version!　Shunsuke Kazama as Yugi Muto: "I can't wait to see Kenjiro Tsuda as 'Kaiba'.

The main cast has been announced for the anime film "Yu-Gi-Oh!

Yu-Gi-Oh the Movie" is an animated feature film adaptation of the popular manga "Yu-Gi-Oh," which has been serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump since 1996. This time, it will be a completely new original story starring Yugi Muto and Sejin Kaiba from the first series serialized in 1996 by Kazuki Takahashi, the original author of "Yu-Gi-Oh!

The main cast has now been revealed. The main character, Yugi Muto, will be played by actor Shunsuke Kazama, and his biggest rival, Seto Kaiba, will be played by Kenjiro Tsuda, both of whom have been in the cast since the TV anime "Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters" was first broadcast in 2000. Furthermore, the story will be an after episode of Yugi Muto and Seto Kaiba (i.e., the story after the last episode of the original manga), which was not depicted in the TV series. Fans of the original manga will be very interested in the story.

Comment by Shunsuke Kazama
I feel a sense of responsibility to play the main character of "Yu-Gi-Oh!", which has been loved for 20 years, and I am filled with joy to be able to play a hot duel again. I will fight a battle that will remain as a legend. As I get older, I feel the greatness of "Yu-Gi-Oh!" and I want to put all the love I have for this work into it. I was so happy every time I heard Tsuda's voice in various animations and games. I can't wait to meet you as "Kaiba". We have known each other since I was 17 years old, so I am sure we will have a great duel. I hope that people not only in Japan but also all over the world will watch this movie and feel passionate about it.

Kenjiro Tsuda comment
I am very happy to be able to play the role of Kaiba again. I want to evolve and master the character of Sejin Kaiba. I am looking forward to working with Kazama-kun since it has been a long time since we last worked together. I hope everyone will truly enjoy this work. I hope that not only the generation of Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters, but also people who don't know about Yu-Gi-Oh and people overseas will watch it.

The after-episode of the original "Yu-Gi-Oh!" series by Kazuki Takahashi, the originator of the "Yu-Gi-Oh!" series, will be made into the first feature film. I feel that it is also a good omen that the film will be released in this milestone year. The "Yu-Gi-Oh!" content is getting bigger and bigger every day. The episodes between Yugi Muto (Shunsuke Kazama) and Sejin Kaiba (Kenjiro Tsuda), two of the most popular characters in the series, are the 224 episodes of "Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters," and we believe that they have solidified their bond. We hope you will watch their new duel story on the big screen. We hope that many people in Japan and around the world will watch this film that fans are looking forward to.
