'Steel Ball Run: JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken' Announces Supporting Cast
The official X (formerly Twitter) account for the JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure) announced the supporting cast for its seventh part, Steel Ball Run, on Friday. The second and third stages of the anime, which adapt the seventh part of Hirohiko Araki's JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga, began streaming exclusively worldwide on Netflix on September 25, with new episodes released weekly.

Cast
L. A. Boom Boom: Fumiyoshi Shioya (Shangri-La Frontier: Kusoge Hunter, Kamige ni Idoman to su)
Andre Boom Boom: Yoshiki Nakajima (Kill Ao)
Benjamin Boom Boom: Jirou Saitou (Hokuto no Ken: Fist of the North Star)

Yasuhiro Kimura (JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 5: Ougon no Kaze) and Hideya Takahashi (Keijo!!!!!!!!) are directing the anime at David Production, with Toshiyuki Katou (JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 6: Stone Ocean) serving as series director.

Yasuko Kobayashi (Dororo) is handling the series composition, with Daisuke Tsumagari (Kishibe Rohan wa Ugokanai chief animation director) designing the characters and serving as the chief animation director. Yugo Kanno (Pluto) is composing the music.

Hirohiko Araki originally launched Steel Ball Run in Weekly Shounen Jump in January 2004 as an unrelated story to the series. Following its transfer to Ultra Jump in April 2005, it became an official part, set in an alternate timeline. Shueisha published the manga in 24 volumes between May 2004 and June 2011, later compiling it into 16 volumes from February 2017 to January 2018.

Araki launched the action adventure manga series with the first part, Phantom Blood, in Weekly Shounen Jump in 1986. The second through six part—Sentou Chouryuu (Battle Tendency), Stardust Crusaders, Diamond wa Kudakenai (Diamond Is Unbreakable), Ougon no Kaze (Golden Wind), and Stone Ocean—ran in the same magazine between 1987 and 2003.

The eighth part, JoJolion, ended in August 2021 in Ultra Jump after a ten-year run. Shueisha published the 27th and final volume in September that year.

The JoJoLands, the ninth part of the manga series, debuted in Ultra Jump in February 2023. Shueisha released the ninth and latest volume on September 17.
