Hisako Kanemoto is cast as Riyo Washizu in the Wound & Bandage television anime, which debuts January 9 on ABC and TV Asahi's Animazing!!! block and on AT-X the same day.
Hisako Kanemoto's two most recent credited roles sit at different points on the production calendar. The earlier of the two stories, from June, announced the cast and October 2026 premiere of The Salty Koharu Has a Soft Spot for Me, an adaptation of Kazami Sawatari and Aitiki's light novel series directed by Fumihiro Yoshimura at Tezuka Productions. The story lists six new cast members, naming Miyu Tomita and Chiaki Kobayashi, and does not attach Kanemoto to a role.
The October story moves her to the front of a cast announcement. She plays Riyo Washizu in the television anime of Umihoshi Nanai's Wound & Bandage manga, with Chikahiro Kobayashi as Go Kiritani. The adaptation has a firm date: January 9 on ABC and TV Asahi's Animazing!!! block, and on AT-X the same day, with streaming on ABEMA. Miyuki Ishida directs at J.C. Staff, with Susumu Yamakawa on scripts and Natsuki Oyama on character designs.
Coverage of Kanemoto is thin and splits between a title where her involvement is not specified and one where her lead role is confirmed. The Wound & Bandage announcement is the more concrete of the two: a named character, a named co-lead, a broadcast date and a full staff. The Salty Koharu story establishes only that the series exists with a cast and a premiere month, not where Kanemoto fits in it.
