Ninja Kamui: Adult Swim Announces Premiere Date

Adult Swim has announced a February 10th @ Midnight ET/PT, start date for the very promising-looking new original series, Ninja Kamui. The series is directed by Sunghoo Park and produced by Sola Entertainment and E&H Production. Character designs come from Takeshi Okazaki and the series will be streaming next day on MAX.

The series follows Joe Higan who is a Nukenin – a former ninja who escaped his clan and is hiding from his violent past in rural America with his family. One night, he is ambushed by a team of assassins from his former organization who exact a bloody retribution on Joe and his family for betraying their ancient code. Rising from his seeming “death,” Joe will re-emerge as his former self – Ninja Kamui – to avenge his family and friends. Kamui is a 21st century ninja, a shadowy anachronism who pits his ancient skills against high-tech weaponry with brutal finesse. He must face off against trained assassins, combat cyborgs, and rival ninjas to bring down the very clan that made him.
