Updating Thread On The New Mononoke News:
According to Google Translate:
“Each of the three Medicine Sellers is the main character. Three new tales of the supernatural. Publication by Kadokawa Bunko confirmed. 🎉 Stay tuned for further updates!”

║Medicine Seller Inui's Sword: Hironori Araki
I have been given the opportunity to serve as the ``Inui Medicine Seller.''
It was very meaningful for me to be able to play Inui's Medicine Seller in the same way that I played Ri's Medicine Seller and Kon's Medicine Seller on stage.In addition, the director and the entire company were able to discuss the voice recording process, so Inui's Medicine Seller was able to take off without a hitch.
I would appreciate it if you could look forward to the day when it will be delivered to you.”
NOTE: “Inui” seems to be a mistranslation for the Trigram name which is translated as ‘Ken’ in Japanese (also known as Ch’ien or Qian)
ANOTHER NOTE: The CV is apparently the person who played Kon and Ri in the stage plays!!!
“║ Director/General Director of the "Mononoke" Series
We are pleased to unveil the third medicine seller, "Yin-Yang Bagua," wielding the Yang Sword, "Ken no Tsurugi"!
When he takes "form," he has a habit of baring one shoulder, and before the supernatural events begin, he has a carefree and talkative demeanor, but when a Mononoke appears, he transforms into a sharp and determined persona.
The demon-slaying sword is a vulture-motif sword with excellent foresight.
It is an entity that appeases and slashes away passions, and we hope you will remember the spirited "Sōzan" (funeral slash)! Please look forward to further updates!”
“"Monono Kai" new project starts!
The third drug seller is "Drug Seller Dry Sword"

Kenji Nakamura, the parent of the "Mononoke" series, commented, "Before the monster began, the atmosphere was vague and talkative, but when the Mononoke appeared, there was a two-sided nature that changed sharply." In addition, it has been decided to publish three completely new novels featuring three drug sellers, "Ri", "Kon" and "Qian".”
NOTE: “dry” in the “dry sword” might be a mistranslation of Ken/Ch’ien/Qian

“Following his roles as Ri and Kun, the medicine sellers in the "#Mononoke" stage series, Hironori Araki will now voice Ken, a new medicine seller.
New tales of the supernatural, each featuring one of the three medicine sellers as the protagonist, are scheduled to be published by Kadokawa Bunko.
Please look forward to them! 📖✨
NOTE: It may be incorrect, but I believe this to be the case”Kadokawa Bunko” mentioned in the OG post. It’ll likely be a light novel! (Please please please give us an official English version to buy I am starting manifestation now)
EDIT: Forcing myself to bed now. Will update if applicable once I wake up 🫡
