At its highly anticipated premiere panel at Anime Expo 2026, the Magic Knight Rayearth TV anime remake treated fans to the debut of its main promotional video (PV) and a striking new key visual. Alongside the sweeping, action-packed preview footage, the panel officially confirmed that the series will begin broadcasting in Japan in October 2026.

The announcement revealed that Yuuki Kaji will voice the legendary Master Mage Clef, Emiri Katou has been cast as the warm, supportive weaponsmith Presea, and Yoshitsugu Matsuoka will take on the role of the wandering swordsman Ferio.

Each Cast member had their own heartfelt comment. 

Role of Clef: Yuki Kaji

This work is seared into my memory as something that was a massive hit among the girls in my class when I was in elementary school.

At the time, due to the self-consciousness typical of an adolescent boy, I couldn't bring myself to read or watch it (haha). However, taking this role as an opportunity to immerse myself in the work, I completely understand from the bottom of my heart why it is so popular.

It possesses a one-of-a-kind originality, yet holds a universal charm that is loved across generations. It truly is a bible and a foundational origin point.

As expected, the world depicted by CLAMP-san is amazing!

I will perform the role of Clef with deep respect so that we can pass the baton of Magic Knight Rayearth down to a whole new generation.

Please look forward to the broadcast!

Role of Presea: Emiri Kato

I am Emiri Kato, and I have been given the opportunity to voice Presea.

I still can't quite believe that the time has come for me to voice Presea-san.

Of course I watched the series when I was a child, and I even played the games, so it is a work truly filled with memories for me.

Presea-san was my absolute favorite character among them, and the way she warmly stayed close to Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu made her an older sister figure I deeply admired.

When I took the audition for this project, I rewatched the anime series because I wanted to get even a little bit closer to my beloved Presea-san.

I would be so happy if all the fans could feel the warmth of Presea-san through my performance as well.

Role of Ferio: Yoshitsugu Matsuoka

This time, I have been given the opportunity to play the role of Ferio. I am Yoshitsugu Matsuoka.

I am truly happy that I get to appear in Rayearth, a series I have known since long ago!

When I received the audition offer, I was shocked and thought, "No way!? Rayearth!?"

I want to do my absolute best to express and deliver my own version of Ferio to everyone while deeply cherishing the world of the series.

Please look forward to Magic Knight Rayearth!

(Personally, I’m on Team Presea!)

Magic Knight Rayearth is set to air in Japan on October 7th 2026.
