The official website and Twitter account for the TV anime adaptation of Satoru Nii's WIND BREAKER manga has announced that Yūichi Nakamura has been cast as Hajime Umemiya.
CloverWorks will produce the animation.
Kodansha USA publishes the manga in English and describes the series as:
An adrenaline-filled manga set in a high school for delinquents who are now heroes protecting their town. A fierce, new student arrives at the school determined to fight his way to the top and become the strongest of them all. This edgy, action-packed manga is guaranteed to excite fans of Tokyo Revengers and other stories about high school delinquents.
Haruka Sakura wants nothing to do with weaklings—he's only interested in the strongest of the strong. He's just started at Furin High School, a school of degenerates known only for their brawling strength—strength they use to protect their town from anyone who wishes it ill. But Haruka's not interested in being a hero or being part of any sort of team—he just wants to fight his way to the top!
CloverWorks will produce the animation.
