Considering that it’s adapting the Christmas Showdown arc, Tokyo Revengers season 2 will focus on the Shiba siblings. Taiju Shiba, voiced by Tomokazu Sugita (Gintoki Sakata in Gintama, Gyoumei Himejima in Demon Slayer), has a volatile relationship with his younger siblings Yuzuha, voiced by Mikako Komatsu ( Maki Zen’in in Jujutsu Kaisen, Neko in K), and Hakkai, voiced by Tasuku Hatanaka (Denki Kaminari in My Hero Academia, Reki Kyan in Sk8 Infinity).

Two characters who appeared in the final episode of season 1, Seishu Inui and Hajime Kokonoi, will have major roles in this and all subsequent arcs. Inui is voiced by Junya Enoki (Yuji Itadori in Jujutsu Kaisen, Panacotta Fugo in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventures: Golden Wind), and Kokonoi is voiced by Natsuki Hanae (Tanjiro Kamado in Demon Slayer, Ken Kaneki in Tokyo Ghoul).

Another character who will have a major spotlight in Tokyo Revengers season 2 is Takashi Mitsuya, the captain of Toman’s Second Division. Hakkai is his vice-captain, and the two go long back as friends and comrades. Mitsuya is voiced by Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (Yukihira Soma from Food Wars, Inosuke Hashibira from Demon Slayer).

There have been two major changes in Tokyo Revengers season 2 from season 1 - Tatsuhisa Suzuki has been replaced by Masaya Fukunishi, a relatively new voice actor, as Draken’s voice actor and Rumi Matsumoto will be replacing Manabu Ostuzuki as the art director.
