The
production team of the anime Teogonia, based on the light
novels by Tsukasa Tanimai, announced that renowned actress Yūko
Kaida joins the cast voicing Zeiena, the youngest daughter
of the Macaque royal family. The announcement was accompanied by an official
illustration of the character, highlighting his imposing design and
aristocratic presence.
Along with
the addition of Kaida, a shocking image of Diabo, the evil god who
threatens to upset the balance of the world, was also presented. This being,
surrounded by dark energy and a fearsome silhouette, anticipates a crucial role
within the narrative.

A world
of wars and mysterious memories

Ogres. In the midst of the conflict, Kai, a young man from the
town of Rag, fights to protect his family. However, his destiny changes
