Space Battleship Tiramisu Anime Casts Tomokazu Sugita, Rikiya Koyama

The official Twitter account for the television anime of Satoshi Miyakawa and artist Kei Itō's Uchū Senkan Tiramisu (Space Battleship Tiramisu) manga revealed two additional cast members for the anime on Friday. The new cast members include:

• Tomokazu Sugita as Maybach Wilhelm
  
  
  
• Rikiya Koyama as Sōichirō Ichinose
  

The anime premiered on April 2. Crunchyroll is streaming the series as it airs in Japan, and Funimation is streaming an English dub. The series will have 13 television episodes and three unaired episodes. The first set will include episodes 1-6 and two unaired episodes while the second set will include episodes 7-13 and one unaired episode.

Hiroshi Ikehata (Robot Girls Z, Seiyu's Life!) is directing the anime, Yū Satō is handing the series composition, and Ai Yokoyama (Bayonetta: Bloody Fate) is designing the characters. Studio Gonzo is providing the animation.

The science fiction gag comedy follows the everyday life of Subaru Ichinose, the ace pilot of the space battleship "Tiramisu." Since he cannot get used to being surrounded by older pilots, Subaru shuts himself in the cockpit of his personal ship "Durandal."

Writer Miyakawa (Haha o Nakushita Toki, Boku wa Ikotsu o Tabetai to Omotta.) and artist Itō launched the ongoing manga on Shinchosha's Kurage Bunch website in October 2015.

The manga is also inspiring a stage play this summer.
