Popular Japanese actor Sato Katsu is set to viably steal the spotlight in his first main role in an animated film. While details regarding the movie's plot have not been fully disclosed, Sato's participation has already sparked great anticipation among fans and film critics. The film, set to release in the following year, will mark a significant milestone in Sato's career expansion in the entertainment industry.

In Japan, voice acting in animation, or 'seiyuu' work, is highly revered and frequent crossover between live-action and animation is common. Sato Katsu, being a significant celebrity, piques public interest as this marks his debut in the realm of anime.

In the US or EU, it is also common for famous actors to lend their voices to animated films, adding to the hype and anticipation of the project. However, while voice acting in Japan has its own unique status and distinct industry, in the US or EU it is typically seen as an extension of an actor's existing portfolio, without a distinct culture surrounding it.
