Demon Slayer" is a popular manga series that has sold more than 80 million copies. When the long-awaited TV anime version of the manga was made last year, the heartbreaking story of a human and an ogre, the dynamic sword fights, and the sometimes comical characters were so popular that even after the anime finished airing, the manga was watched with great interest not only in Japan but also from around the world. The final episode of the TV anime, "A New Mission," was broadcast at the end of September last year, bringing the "Tanjiro Kamado Tatsushi Hen" story to a close, and the main character, Tanjiro Kamado, and his friends are now ready to take on the new stage of the movie, "Infinity Train. The film ends with a scene in which the main character, Tanjiro Kamado, and his friends board the "Infinity Train," the stage on which the film takes place. This film is a story connected to the last episode.

⇒ The movie version of "Demon Slayer" will be released on October 16 (Fri.)! The key visual and the first trailer of the theater version are also released!

Today, July 7, the seventh evening of the seventh month before the movie's release, a special page has been set up on the official website. A special page was opened on the official website, where 31 voice actors, including Natsuki Hanae, Akari Kito, Hiro Shimono, and Sadayoshi Matsuoka, who voiced the TV anime, wrote "tanzaku" on tanzaku, or paper strips, in their own handwriting, The voice actors of this work have often been talked about for their gorgeous casting since the TV anime was aired, so please pay attention to what kind of wishes they will write on the tanzaku.

In addition, an illustration drawn for the Tanabata Festival and the wishes of the five characters who hold the key to the film on the illustration have also been released.
Sumijiro, a kind-hearted and family-oriented character, wished "May everyone be happy! which is typical of Sumijiro, who pours out his kindness even if he is an ogre. On the other hand, Prizuko, who cannot write because she has become a demon, ties the strip of paper tightly instead of writing her wish, which seems to express her strong trust in her brother Sumijiro and the strength of their bond. Zenitsu says, "May I get married. ！！！！ In contrast, Inosuke, who has a beastly personality and runs with his instincts, does whatever he pleases, such as drawing pictures of tempura, a dish he became very fond of after eating it with Sumijiro and Zenitsu. And the flame pillar of the Oni-killer Squad, Kyozuro Purgatory*2, who works with Sumijiro and the others in this film, is passionate about his work, saying, "I devote myself to my work every day! and his passion and core strength as a pillar of the Oni-killer Squad is evident in his constant desire to improve.
These five characters are in charge of the search for the "Infinity Train" in this film. Will they be able to defeat Enmu [Gakugen no Ichi], the "demon" with special abilities who stands before them? And will they be able to make their wishes come true? Please check the special Tanabata page on the official Demon Slayer website for the 31 members of the cast and the 5 main characters' Tanzakus.
