The television anime adaptation of Shinobu Kaitani’s psychological suspense manga Liar Game has expanded its cast list. Following its premiere on April 7, the production team announced that Daisuke Namikawa, known for his work in Trigun Stargaze, has joined the project as Solario. Joining him are Yuuya Uchida as Shou Kikuchi, Hiroko Ushida as Tadako Kousaka, and Minoru Shiraishi as Yuuichi Nishida.
The series is currently being produced at Madhouse under the direction of Asami Kawano, who previously served as an assistant director on The Vampire Dies in No Time.
