Spy x Family Musical Reveals Casting Choice for Anya

By Evan Valentine

Spy x Family is officially a hit thanks to the partnership of Wit and CloverWorks in working on the anime adaptation this year, and like many other franchises, the series is set to hit the stage next year via a new musical production. With the cast announcements arriving earlier this year, a major character had yet to be confirmed until now, as four young actors have been cast to play the Forger Family's resident telepath as the first anime season inches toward its finale. 

Anya's role in Spy x Family is a big one, being the only member of the Forgers who knows everyone else's secrets thanks to her telepathic abilities. While she has been able to use her mind-reading powers to good effect, she has also managed to keep everyone's secrets a secret from one another, keeping the Forger Clan together as Loid continues his profession as the master spy Twilight and Yor continues her nightly profession as the world-class assassin known as the Twilight Princess. With the Forgers recently adding the future-seeing canine known as Bond to their ranks in the second cours of the first season, the dog might not appear in the musical but he is still a worthy addition to the anime adaptation.

We're Seeing Double, Four Anyas

The Official Twitter Account for Spy x Family's upcoming musical spilled the beans on the four actors that will be portraying Anya in next year's musical, with Risa Masuda, Aoi Ikemura, Miharu Izawa, and Miharu Fukuchi all set to take a crack at the Forger's resident telepath:

The musical also took the chance to share the "Final Audition Video" which sees the "Anyas" all learning their moves for the upcoming stage play which will be the first time that Spy x Family hits the world of live-action. With many anime franchises eventually being brought to the world of live-action in various ways, an eventual feature-length film for the Forgers certainly seems possible considering the popularity of the series to date:
