This work is a Japanese-style swordskitan that depicts the battle between tengu who do evil and the sword punishers who kill them, based on the concept of “Royal Battle x Japanese Sword Sword”.

<Story>
A monster that takes shape from human malice – Tengu.

Behind the scenes of modern Japan, people called sword punishers with swords in hand. Hinomiya Akari, a boy who grew up on the island, had the soul of Hajun, the most evil tengu who threatened the world. The boy challenges his destined enemy while meeting his friends, holding a sword, and facing his uncontrollable power.

Character & voice actor comment

Hinomiya Light CV. Shuichiro Umeda

hero. A boy who grew up on the island and has no friends and has continued to train with his older brother, Haruto. In order to defeat Hajun, the king of the tengu who resides in his body, he becomes a sword punisher and fights with his friends. Will the power of Hajun, which appears in a predicament, is a trump card that ends the battle, or causes a disaster?

Comment from Shuichiro Umeda
I’m Shuichiro Umeda, I’ll leave the voice of Hinomiya Tomoki in “Tengu Sword Battle”! A light that you can face with yourself and anyone. I would be happy if you could see how he grows while carrying a harsh destiny on his shoulders. If you see the lights on SNS, please take a look! Sometimes cool, sometimes funny, sometimes cute? Please continue to support the “Tengu Sword Battle”, which is full of charm!

Kiryu Ushio CV. Ryuichi Sawada

A first-year student at Karasuma High School, and the same sword-punisher as Tou. He lost his family by a tengu when he was a child, and grew up being taken in by Chisato. He strongly vows to take revenge on his enemy, and regards the lights that conceive Hajun as his enemy and fights against him. He tends to be blunt and scary, but he also has a good side, such as being kind to children.

Comment from Ryuichi Sawada
I’m Ryuichi Sawada, who will be in charge of the voice of Ushio Kiryu. Ushio seems to have carried heavy things on his back in the past, but he actually likes children and has a cute side that collects “Parasite-kun and Kobae-chan” goods. There must be a “Nuikatsu” that is popular these days (lol) Please look forward to the “Tengu Sword Battle” while paying attention to his gap!

Kyoto Bell Prayer CV. Tsujimori Azusa

A first-year student at Karasuma High School, and the same sword-punisher as Tou. From what happened in the past, the stance is always like a downer. In contrast to other first-year students who are full of motivation, they are training reluctantly and are good at slacking off. Although he is cold, he also has a gentle side, and he balances as an intermediary for the first graders.
Comment by Azusa Tsujimori
I will be in charge of the voice of Kyokane Inori Rin. This is Azusa Tsujimori! As the name suggests, dignified cool beauty! ! However, he has a sidekick and a prank-loving side, and is quite a peculiar character for being the only female character. !

The original character design is in charge of the up-and-coming creator “Soono”.

Illustrator Soono will be in charge of the original character design for this work.

After working as an art director at a major game company, Soono is currently working as a creator who creates illustrations, manga, and games. X (formerly Twitter) has 187,000 followers, illustration yearbook “Illustration 2024” and “Vsions 2023 Illustrators He is an up-and-coming creator who is attracting attention both in Japan and overseas, such as being published in BOOK. It has a fantastic and well-balanced art style that can be used by both men and women, and strongly drives the world view of this work.
Mr. Sono’s comment
As a member of the staff who create the work, I am very honored to be able to draw the original character designs and key visuals! I personally enjoyed making it as well. Thank you for your continued support!

BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Inc. Comments

Aiming to create a work that can be enjoyed by many people, we have started this project with PLOTT, who has a wealth of achievements in short animation. Please enjoy the “Tengu Sword Battle”, which is attractive for “relationships” and “heat” between characters, and Japanese style swordskirts and full-scale action. By the way, my favorite is Rin, who looks cool and calm and has a charm!
