Chikahiro Kobayashi is attached to two upcoming television anime: he plays Go Kiritani in the Wound & Bandage adaptation, set to debut January 9, and Lee in the eighth episode of the new Ghost in the Shell series from Science SARU.
Chikahiro Kobayashi's current credits, as reported, are two television anime roles announced within weeks of each other. On August 28, Bandai Namco Filmworks announced that he plays Lee in the eighth episode of the new Ghost in the Shell television anime from Science SARU. The series premiered on July 7 on the Ka-Anival!! programming block from Kansai TV and Fuji TV, and the staff shared the episode's end card, illustrated by animator and director Shingo Natsume.
On October 16, the television anime of Umihoshi Nanai's Wound & Bandage manga revealed its cast and a firm date. Kobayashi plays Go Kiritani alongside Hisako Kanemoto as Riyo Washizu. The series debuts on January 9 on ABC and TV Asahi's Animazing!!! block and on AT-X the same day, then streams on ABEMA. Miyuki Ishida directs at J.C. Staff, with Susumu Yamakawa on scripts and Natsuki Oyama on character designs.
The two reports establish the same picture: Kobayashi is cast in a supporting role in one ongoing series and a lead role in a manga adaptation with a January date. Neither story says anything about production status beyond the cast and staff, and neither says how far his roles extend.
