Adult Swim has become a premiere spot to check out anime old and new in North America, with the Cartoon Network programming block aiming to offer an original series this year.

The Adult Swim original anime will be directed by Sunghoo Park, who fans might know for their work on Jujutsu Kaisen, The God of High School, and Banana Fish. Ninja Kamui isn't the only project they have slated for 2024, as Park also worked on Netflix's upcoming Monsters special, which hails from the creator of One Piece. In 2023, here's what the director had to say regarding the Cartoon Network project, "This anime series is an original work in which the main character, Higan, takes revenge on the ninja organization that killed his family. We pursued a different action anime and storyline from existing ninja-based films. Especially in terms of the action, we tried to combine live-action and animation styles into one. And I think the music and voice acting are also important points to appreciate."
Park also took the chance to discuss how Ninja Kamui is set to be the first project for E&H Productions, hoping that fans will come to love the action-packed series, "This is the first animated series that E&H Productions has produced, and many of us put our hearts and souls into it. I hope you will enjoy watching the series to the end."
