The announcement came during the Netflix panel at Anime NYC 2026, alongside a second teaser trailer and three new cast members. Junya Enoki voices Akira Yatsuka, deputy head of the Fourth Tenka-in Personnel Department; Aya Endo voices Saeko Kano, Akira's bodyguard and a former border guard; and Kiyomitsu Mizuuchi voices Jin Hiragishi, chief of the unofficial \"Nashi Division\" who hires protagonist Toshiro Kamiya. They join previously announced cast members Kouki Uchiyama as Toshiro Kamiya and Minako Kotobuki as Yomiko Horai. The production is the first collaboration between studios Sunrise and Shaft. Atsuyuki Yukawa, a unit director on Suzume, directs, with Jin Tanaka handling series composition, Robert Sato designing characters, and Tatsuya Kato composing music. The teaser shows Yomiko's lament, explosions, a severed hand, and vines growing from Toshiro's body. An interview video with the creators was also released.","whyItMatters":"The November 26 all-at-once release on Netflix positions Fool Night as a global binge event, and the first Sunrise-Shaft collaboration pairs two studios with distinct visual identities, making the adaptation a test of how their styles merge.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe second teaser trailer for Fool Night depicts a world where thick clouds block sunlight, forcing humanity to rely on \u0026#34;transfloration,\u0026#34; a technology that implants seeds into the bodies of the dying to turn them into plants that produce oxygen. The teaser includes Yomiko Horai\u0026#39;s sorrowful lament to Toshiro Kamiya, who hopes to undergo the process, as well as mysterious explosions, a severed hand still holding candy, and blood-dripping vines growing from Toshiro\u0026#39;s body. A character wrapped in tentacles appears at the end.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe new cast members bring specific traits to the story. Akira Yatsuka is an elite who is obsessed with promotion but has a humane side, and he shares a long history with Saeko Kano, his bodyguard.
