The official site for Eiga Crayon Shin-chan Kikikaikai! Ora no Yōkai Bake‑shon (the 33rd 2‑D Crayon Shin‑chan movie, titled “Super Strange! My Yōkai Monster Vacation”) announced on Wednesday that seven additional voice actors have joined the cast. (Note: the Romanized character names are unofficial.)
Yūki Kaji voices Hyakuemon, a clever and enigmatic yōkai.
Aya Endō plays Mameta, a tanuki who assists Shinnosuke and gradually becomes curious about humans.
Hiro Shimono portrays Karakura, an umbrella‑shaped yōkai who is wary of humans.
Inori Minase takes the role of Pinko, a powerful yet gentle amabie yōkai.
Shunsuke Sakuya voices Kumada no Osa, the ruler of the yōkai realm and head of the Naka Yōkaijō government.
Mikako Komatsu plays Tsuchiko, a yōkai who longs for Hyakuemon.
Setsuji Satō appears as Kapparapa Taichō, the leader of an organization that maintains peace in the yōkai realm.
The story is set in the mysterious “land of yōkai.” The Nohara family travels to Hiroshi’s hometown of Akita for a famous summer fireworks festival. A mishap releases yōkai from their realm, causing chaos across Akita and beyond. To restore order, the Noharas venture into the yōkai world itself, discovering a nostalgic yet uncanny landscape and embarking on an unpredictable adventure.
Sairi Itō heads the cast as Yako, a nine‑tailed fox yōkai. Comedy duo Mayurika’s Sakamoto voices the Squid Yōkai, a first‑base pitcher for the Edomae Sushies baseball team, who challenges Shin‑chan and friends to a game.
Other returning voice talent includes Yumiko Kobayashi, Miki Narahashi, Toshiyuki Morikawa, and Satomi Koorogi.
The film is directed by Masaki Watanabe (known for Battle Spirits: Heroes and Sakamoto Days). The script is written by Yoshiko Nakamura (writer for Re:ZERO – Starting Life in Another World and PriPara). Production partners include ShinEi Animation, TV Asahi, ADK Emotions, and Futabasha, with TOHO handling distribution.
The 33rd Crayon Shin‑chan film is slated to open in Japan on July 31.
