As of July 2026, Katsuyuki Konishi has been cast in three upcoming projects: he voices Kamado in the Jigoku Korin voice drama (premiering July 10), is part of the Japanese dub cast for the film Shadow of the Stealth (streaming free from July 10), and will voice Togo Shiba in the Kagurabachi anime (streaming April 2027).
Katsuyuki Konishi has taken on three new roles across different media in the span of two weeks. On June 25, Crunchyroll announced that Konishi will voice Togo Shiba in the television anime adaptation of Takeru Hokazono's Kagurabachi, which will stream worldwide in April 2027. Konishi described Shiba as a carefree but powerful sorcerer and a trusted ally of protagonist Chihiro Rokuhira.
In early July, two more projects were revealed. On July 8, the Japanese-dubbed version of Steven Seagal's action film Shadow of the Stealth was announced to stream for free on YouTube for two weeks starting July 10, with Konishi among the dub cast alongside Akio Otsuka, Masaki Aizawa, and Hiroshi Ito. On July 10, the Beppu City Public Enterprise Bureau revealed that Konishi voices Kamado, a gentle but fearsome leader, in the Jigoku Korin IP project, whose voice drama premiered the same day.
These three roles show Konishi working across anime, film dubbing, and a local IP voice drama, all announced within a short period. The Kagurabachi role is his highest-profile upcoming anime part, while the other two are smaller but still notable additions to his portfolio.
