by Hirose Yuuki has been chosen to play Kurni Cruciel in the TV anime ” A Country Old Man Becomes a Sword Saint .” The character’s visuals and PV have also been released.
Kurni, played by Hirose, is a member of the Liberio Knights who has a power that does not match his tiny body. He used to study under Beryl, but the time was too short to achieve full proficiency. He is active, cheerful, and friendly, so he is a healing presence for Beryl. Hirose commented, “I am happy to have met Kurni, who is like a dog that comes straight at me wagging its tail, and my daily life has somehow become more energetic.
Contrary to his appearance, he is pretty intense! I hope you can feel Kurni’s muscle mass.” Based on the novel by Shigeru Sagazaki, “A Country Old Man Becomes a Sword Saint” is a fantasy about Beryl, a middle-aged sword master who once aspired to be a sword master.
The anime will be broadcast in April 2025. Hiroaki Hirata will play Beryl, Nao Toyama will play Aleucia, the leader of the Knights who once studied under Beryl, and Hitomi Ueda will play Surena, a top-ranking adventurer. Comments from Hirose Yuki (Kurni Cruciel): I will be playing Kurni. I’m Hirose Yuki. I’m happy that I met Kurni, who is like a dog wagging its tail and coming straight at me, and that my daily life has somehow become more energetic. Contrary to his appearance, he is pretty intense! I hope you can feel the amount of muscle that Kurni has.
Although there seem to be many attractive heroines, I secretly feel that the “old man” in the title is the number one heroine… as I am trying to do the dubbing. I can’t get enough of it.
