- Rina Kawaguchi voices Shozen and Hiroshi Kamiya voices Dozen.

Shozen anime trailer: what the trailer confirms
The trailer establishes a travel fantasy. Dozen travels across different regions in search of supernatural phenomena. He meets a girl who knows neither human emotions nor the rules of society.
He gives her the name Shozen and welcomes her as a disciple. Their relationship forms the heart of the story. The journey is used to confront creatures, but also to explore kindness, love and responsibility.
The footage shows bamboo, misty mountains and lotus leaves covered in droplets. The world feels contemplative. The action scenes rely on mystical techniques and battles against powerful creatures.
The official Fuji TV PV also introduces the main Japanese voice cast. Rina Kawaguchi voices Shozen. Hiroshi Kamiya voices Dozen.
Shozen anime trailer: announced release and platforms
The Japanese broadcast will begin in April 2027. No exact day has been announced. The window places the series in spring without establishing a precise viewing date.
The series is therefore not available today. No price, French streaming service or international simulcast has been announced. Future communication will need to clarify access by territory.
Shozen adapts the manga by Jiang Jia Meizi, published on Bilibili Manga. The production brings together Dangun Pictures and Cannon Code. Itsuro Kawasaki handles direction and the screenplay. Eri Osada is responsible for the character designs. Yoshihiro Sugano directs the action scenes.
The cast also includes Aoi Yuki, Ayumu Murase and Daisuke Sakuma. Ryojin, Kensei and Chiro appear alongside the central duo. The trailer does not yet specify the number of episodes or the season's structure.
The official Japanese Shozen website remains the reference for the schedule, cast and production team. The jeu.vidéo news section may relay any announcement of an international release.
A travel fantasy driven by a central duo
Shozen resembles a travel fantasy built around a coming-of-age journey. The trailer shows a world discovered step by step, with supernatural phenomena and mystical battles. Its focus, however, is Shozen's training under Dozen. The master-disciple relationship therefore appears more important than a simple succession of fights. The bestiary, Taoist myths and supporting characters give the project a distinct identity. The trailer leaves the exact roles of Ryojin, Kensei and Chiro in the group's progression open.
For viewers, the consequence is straightforward: no purchase or subscription is needed today. The Japanese broadcast is scheduled for April 2027, but French access remains unknown. The trailer is enough to put Shozen on a watchlist. The next useful information will be the announcement of a streaming service or territorial release. Without that detail, French-speaking audiences still cannot know whether they will discover the episodes at the same pace as Japan.
Information still awaited
- What exact day will mark the Japanese premiere? This date will place the series' start within the April 2027 calendar.
- Which platform will offer Shozen in France? The answer will determine legal access to the anime for French-speaking audiences.
- Will an international simulcast be announced? This detail will show whether episodes can be followed at the same pace as in Japan.
