Spirits gather relentlessly around ordinary high school student Shizuka Mimizuka, pulling an eccentric spiritual practitioner into her everyday routine. Streaming platform OceanVeil launched the Kamui English dub on Friday, September 18, bringing author Eroki and illustrator Konoshiro’s supernatural comedy to digital subscribers, according to Anime News Network reporter Alex Mateo. The television adaptation pairs a gifted spiritual practitioner with an unwitting human magnet across bizarre paranormal encounters that disrupt ordinary school days. The digital broadcast introduces the complete English voice ensemble to international viewers. [1]
OceanVeil Debuts the Kamui English Dub
OceanVeil opened its overseas release on Friday at 9:30 AM PDT (12:30 PM EDT), introducing the series to English streaming audiences across licensed international territories. Mateo reported the streaming rollout following direct email correspondence from the distributor. The production scheduled its digital premiere after the Japanese television broadcast initiated the show’s summer run. Audiences gain immediate streaming access to the serialized paranormal misadventures. Digital streaming expands international accessibility. [1]
The television anime premiered on Tokyo MX on July 3 at 25:30, a specialized late-night broadcast slot (effectively, July 4 at 1:30 AM JST) that launched the adaptation during Japanese summer television scheduling. A secondary terrestrial television window followed on BS11 on July 7, securing national Japanese coverage across satellite and Tokyo metropolitan airwaves. Because television stations in Japan routinely schedule late-night programming past midnight under extended broadcast listings, the early morning premiere anchored the series within domestic programming blocks. OceanVeil coordinated its localization timeline to launch the streaming Kamui English dub shortly after the television episodes established domestic momentum in Japan, ensuring overseas audiences could follow the supernatural misadventures concurrently.

BS11 airs the series next. The broadcast schedule moves steadily across Japanese networks. [1]
Diana Garnet and Jesse Inocalla Lead the Cast
Diana Garnet voices high school protagonist Shizuka Mimizuka, while Jesse Inocalla stars opposite her as the spiritually gifted titular exorcist Kamui. Their dual performance anchors the comedy. Nina Nikolic takes the role of Oichi, Mia Paige voices Inagawa, and Sneha Kumar portrays Kyōko, giving the school ensemble a distinct vocal presence as supernatural chaos unfolds. Aife serves as the adaptation’s formal Narrator, guiding viewers through unexpected spirit encounters across each comedic episode. [1]
Secondary characters and supernatural entities bring an expansive roster of voice actors into the recording studio. Roo Ryder voices both the Female Client and the Former Owner, Aria Pierce portrays the urban legend entity Teke-Teke, and Mana Johnson performs as Miss Mary. Amanda Parker steps into the booth as the Slit-Mouthed Woman, Dré Ayala voices the Male Client, Meredith Nudo handles Kokkuri, and Jessica Warner performs double duty as Pomade Boy and Female Spirit. The spirit world expands further with voice actors Erin Tenelle voicing Yui, Zoe Lee playing Long-Neck, Shay-Ki Fullalove portraying Andrew, and Angela Tran appearing as Gap Woman. Each performer brings distinct comedic energy to these bizarre supernatural apparitions. [1, 2]
How do these varied voice talents balance paranormal dread against escalating bedroom humor? Garnet and Inocalla steer the ensemble across relentless banter, contrasting supernatural terror against domestic absurdity as Kamui’s unconventional rituals confront each apparition. The comedic timing carries each encounter. [1]
Behind the Scenes of the English Localization
Executive producer Jonathan Hinga oversaw the English dub production, assembling a specialized localization and engineering team to adapt the dialogue for streaming audiences. ADR director Kevin Frane supervised the vocal performances working with assistant ADR director Zack Maher. Production assistant Amanda Parker and time coding specialist Jasper Bear coordinated recording sessions, while ADR engineers Jack Westlake, Zack Maher, and Andrea Stewart captured the cast’s studio dialogue. Studio engineering demands rigorous precision. [1]
Mix engineer and mastering specialist Steve Warky Nunez finalized the audio tracks to deliver balanced broadcast sound across streaming devices. Laura Welsh handled script adaptation, working directly under Frane’s localization supervision to preserve comedic timing across Japanese cultural jokes. Reece Bridger managed talent sourcing through No Studio In Particular (a specialized voice casting agency), ensuring the cast matched each bizarre spirit character. Marketing director Mana Johnson and public relations representative Paul Davey coordinated the promotional campaign. Shane Tay, Brian Rollins, and Sean Tay conducted quality assurance, while Danny Miller and LL delivered the English subtitling. [1, 2]

Supernatural Charm Powers an Unusual Exorcist
Shizuka Mimizuka considers herself a completely ordinary high school teenager, but she possesses an involuntary spiritual constitution that acts as an irresistible beacon for restless apparitions. Ghosts flock toward her wherever she walks. Recognizing both her supernatural allure and her lightning-fast running speed, the renowned psychic Kamui recruits the desperate high schooler as his official assistant and designated live bait. Her running speed saves her life repeatedly. [1]
Kamui possesses drop-dead gorgeous looks and immense spiritual energy, yet he conceals an eccentric personal secret: apparitions and specters turn him on exclusively. Normal human romance holds zero interest for him. His purification rituals are unprecedented, wildly intimate, and astonishingly lewd, transforming dangerous supernatural skirmishes into provocative physical comedy. Kamui pursues only apparitions. Shizuka finds herself running for her life while her employer revels in each scandalous exorcism. [1, 2]
Can Shizuka ever achieve her cherished dream of an ordinary school life while evading ghouls? Paranormal chaos disrupts every single semester as the series delivers an uninhibited ecchi comedy (an explicit supernatural humor genre) where spiritual banishment demands scandalous intimacy. [1]
Manga ONE Roots Anchor the Thirteen Volumes
Director Takumi Tsukumo, creator of Divergence Eve and Misaki Chronicles, helmed the animated series at studios Zero-G and ZG-R. Motoshi Chūjō supervised series scripts, bringing extensive experience from writing for Ai: Tenchi Muyo! to the supernatural comedy. Character designer Toshinari Yamashita translated the manga’s expressive comic figures to the screen, while veteran singer KOTOKO performed the animated project’s energetic ending theme song SAY-BYE!! WWWave Corporation’s Deregula anime label produced the television adaptation. [1]
Manga creators Eroki and Konoshiro originally launched Ushiro no Shōmen Kamui-san in March 2020 on Shogakukan’s digital Manga ONE application. Reader popularity fueled a continuous serialized print publication release through Shogakukan, culminating in the formal publication of the manga’s 13th compiled book volume on August 10. That extensive publication history established a substantial backlog of comedic paranormal encounters before the animation production reached domestic airwaves. The volume total stands. [1, 2]
While broadcast programming across Japan regularly sparks active seasonal discussion through previews like the Aizen in Bleach Episode 48 preview, OceanVeil expands its catalog by bringing serialized comedy adaptations directly to international streaming audiences. Kadokawa World Entertainment, a subsidiary of Kadokawa Corporation, holds majority ownership of Anime News Network, which published Mateo’s initial report following distributor correspondence. The streaming release establishes the Kamui English dub as an accessible gateway into Eroki and Konoshiro’s long-running supernatural comedy. [1]
