Concept for an anime series:
An adaptation of “Spider-Man”, but with the setting changed to Tokyo, Japan. The adaptation pulls elements from various versions of “Spider-Man”, from the 1970s Japanese TV show to the comics and to the live-action movies.
1) Natsuki Hanae (Tanjiro Kamado from “Demon Slayer”) as Takuya Yamashiro, the Japanese version of Peter Parker/Spider-Man. This version of Peter is mostly the same, but with some elements of the 1970s Japanese Spider-Man, such as Takuya’s love of motocross racing.
2) Aoi Koga (Kaguya Shinomiya from “Kaguya-Sama: Love is War”) as Hitomi Sakuma, the Japanese version of Mary Jane Watson.
3) Chiaki Omigawa (Maka Albarn from “Soul Eater”) as Nico Minoru. In this version, Nico is Peter’s goth best friend who is the first person to discover his secret identity. Nico has her own character arc centered on her family’s connection to the magic world.
4) Yuki Kaji (Shoto Todoroki from “My Hero Academia”) as the Japanese version of Harry Osborn. In typical shonen anime fashion, Harry is the protagonist’s main rival.
5) Kazuhiko Inoue (Kakashi Hatake from “Naruto”) as the Japanese version of Uncle Ben
6) Masako Katsuki (Tsunade from “Naruto”) as the Japanese version of Aunt May
7) Tomokazu Seki (Sanemi Shinazugawa from “Demon Slayer”) as the Japanese version of Curt Connors aka the Lizard. The Lizard is the first story arc main villain.
8) Kazuya Nakai (Roronoa Zoro from “One Piece”) as the Japanese version of J. Jonah Jameson
