Kana Hanazawa, the beloved voice actress behind iconic characters like Nadeko Sengoku from "Monogatari," Kanade Tachibana from "Angel Beats!," and Akane Tsunemori from "PSYCHO-PASS," is also a celebrated singer known for her soothing, healing vocals. With a constant stream of anime, radio, and variety show appearances, her popularity remains sky-high.
Recently, she dropped a bombshell on her Instagram, showcasing a stunning transformation into Mitsuri Kanroji from "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" – a character she famously voices! Fans absolutely lost it, showering her with praise like "Real-life Mitsuri-chan!" and "Unbelievably cute!"
This epic look was for the "Demon Slayer Corps Gathering - Hashira Training Arc" event held in Yokohama on May 4th, where she was promoting the recently re-released special compilation editions of the anime.
Decked out in Mitsuri's signature pink and yellow-green gradient haori and sporting her iconic braided pigtails, Hanazawa was the spitting image of the Love Hashira. Her post also featured a delightful photo with Saori Hayami, the voice of Shinobu Kocho, and a peek at some behind-the-scenes fun, including a character sticker pulled by Kenichi Suzumura, Obanai Iguro's voice actor.
Fans flooded the comments with adoration: "OMG, so cute!!!", "Is that even Mitsuri herself?!", "Long hair suits you so well!", and "Kana-chan as Mitsuri is absolutely amazing!" – all hailing her incredible transformation.
The event wrapped up with a bang, revealing the latest trailer for the upcoming "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - Infinity Castle Arc" movie, set to hit theaters on July 18th. This exclusive trailer will also be shown at the end of the "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Movie: Mugen Train" re-release in Japan on May 9th. Get ready, Demon Slayer fans – it's time to see if this new installment can smash box office records once again!
