Reiji Kawashima is cast in three upcoming anime projects: Hell Mode season 2 (July 2026), Magic Repo Man (October 2026), and The Fledgling Demon Lord's Starter Shop (January 2027).
Reiji Kawashima has been announced for three television anime roles across 2026 and 2027, all revealed within a six-week span. The first casting news came on May 20, 2026, when the official website for Hell Mode season 2 confirmed Kawashima would voice Keel, a boy with a strong attachment to money. That season is scheduled to premiere in July 2026 on Tokyo MX, MBS, and BS Nippon Television.
Less than a month later, on June 17, 2026, TV Asahi unveiled the first promotional video for Magic Repo Man, an adaptation of Masakichi and Shingou Iijima's manga. Kawashima is part of the cast for that series, which premieres in October 2026 on TV Asahi and affiliates. On June 27, 2026, the television anime adaptation of Makoto Morishita's manga The Fledgling Demon Lord's Starter Shop was announced for a January 2027 premiere, with Kawashima and Rumi Ōkubo listed among the cast.
The three roles span different genres and production studios. Hell Mode season 2 is produced at Yokohama Animation Lab, while The Fledgling Demon Lord's Starter Shop is produced at studio project No.9. The studio for Magic Repo Man was not named in the available stories. No further details about Kawashima's characters in Magic Repo Man or The Fledgling Demon Lord's Starter Shop have been disclosed beyond his involvement.
