The previously announced Liar Game anime revealed a new teaser visual, trailer, and the main cast on Thursday. Saya Hitomi and Takeo Otsuka voice the main characters Nao Kanzaki and Shinichi Akiyama, respectively. Madhouse is animating the series, set to premiere in April 2026.
Liar Game anime voice cast members also left a comment on the anime.
Saya Hitomi’s comment:
When I heard that I had passed the audition, my mind went completely blank from the shock and joy, and the moment I said, “I’ll do my best,” tears started to pour out. Once recording began, I found myself desperately trying to keep up, and I strongly felt that I wanted to grow just like Nao does. Now, I’m wholeheartedly facing the work with that same “foolishly honest” spirit. Even as she’s tossed around by countless lies, Nao lives with all her heart in her own way—and I’ll give it my all to bring out her charm. Thank you so much for your support!
Takeo Otsuka:
I was filled with surprise and joy when I learned I’d be involved with LIAR GAME, a series I’ve long been familiar with and fond of. As a member of the anime LIAR GAME team, I will give my all in voicing Akiyama to ensure that the charm of this series is fully conveyed through animation. Thank you very much for your support! (Also… I didn’t manage to see through a single lie on the official anime website!)
The staff consists of:
- Chief Director: Yuzo Sato
- Director: Asami Kawano
- Series Composition & Screenwriter: Tatsuhiko Urahata
- Character Designer: Kei Tsuchiya
- Sound Director: Kisuke Koizumi
The anime’s official website introduces the series as follows:
A Mysterious Invitation.One Hundred Million Yen. The Game Begins.
College student Nao Kanzaki suddenly receives a strange letter and a suitcase containing 100 million yen.
She’s been chosen to participate in the LIAR GAME — a high-stakes psychological battle where lies, deception, and betrayal reign supreme.
Naïve and painfully honest, Nao quickly finds herself cornered.
To survive, she turns to Shinichi Akiyama, a brilliant former con artist with unmatched intellect. As they dive deeper into the twisted game, the two must outwit opponents in a world where trusting others could be fatal.
In a game built on lies, can honesty prevail?
