Vampire Weekend frontman Ezra Koenig is developing the stylized new anime series Neo Yokio for Netflix with some big celebrity voices in the form of Jude Law and Jaden Smith.

Today we got a first look at the character that Smith will voice in the series, the "#1 most eligible bachelor & demon slayer" Kai. Check out the images of Kai below, and read on to learn more about Neo Yokio:

It's been reported that Jude Law will voice Kai's robot butler/ally/rocket ship, Charles, and that the titular setting will be a mashup of New York City and Tokyo. The tagline -- "things are bubbling in the sea beneath 14th street" -- teases a fantastical world we'll explore beneath Neo Yokio, the details of which have yet to be revealed.

Jaden Smith also revealed a second picture of Kai, which you can check out below.
