The Tomb Raider King anime unveiled its second promotional video and key visual, confirming Korean band QWER's ending theme and voice actress Yuko Kaida as new cast ahead of its July 8 premiere.
The official website for the Tomb Raider King anime dropped a second promotional video and updated key visual on Saturday, revealing that Korean girl group QWER will perform both the opening and ending themes for the series. The anime premieres on July 8 on Fuji TV and affiliated networks.
QWER, the Korean four-member band already confirmed for the opening theme "SHOWDOWN," will also perform the ending theme, titled "To Be Continued." The group handling both bookend tracks is a relatively uncommon move for anime productions, signaling strong ties between the Korean-originated property and its musical direction. The second PV showcased portions of the new ending alongside fresh action cuts from the upcoming series.
Veteran voice actress Yuko Kaida has been added to the Japanese dub cast as Keira Clark, a U.S. Army general overseeing relic operations. Kaida joins a lineup that already includes Yoshimasa Hosoya as protagonist Seo Joo-Heon, Saori Hayami as Irene Holton, and Junichi Suwabe as Kwon Tae-Joon. The addition of a military authority figure suggests the anime will move quickly into the broader geopolitical tensions that define the webtoon's middle arcs, where world governments compete for control over supernatural relics.
STUDIO EEK is producing the adaptation under director Seung Wook Woo, who also handles series composition. Lee Hyun Joung serves as character designer and chief animation director, while Yoon Gun is credited as composer. Kisuke Koizumi directs the Japanese dub. The anime adapts the webtoon written by SAN.G with art by 3B2S, which ran for 412 chapters before concluding. Additional credited original creators include Yuns and P-crush.
Tomb Raider King is set to begin its Japanese broadcast on July 8, 2026, airing at 25:15 (effectively 1:15 a.m. on July 9) across Fuji TV, Kansai TV, Tokai TV, BS Fuji, and Hokkaido Cultural Broadcasting. Crunchyroll will stream the series simultaneously as it airs in Japan, making the webtoon adaptation accessible to international audiences from day one.
The series is set in a world where mysterious tombs have appeared across the globe, each containing a relic that grants its owner supernatural abilities. The protagonist, Seo Joo-Heon, uses knowledge of future events to seek revenge and claim powerful relics for himself. The webtoon's blend of action, strategy, and artifact-hunting drew a sizable readership during its original Korean serialization, and the anime aims to bring that appeal to a broader audience.
With its complete Japanese voice cast now taking shape and both theme songs locked in, Tomb Raider King appears well-positioned heading into the competitive summer 2026 anime season. The adaptation joins a stacked July premiere slate that includes several high-profile titles vying for viewer attention. STUDIO EEK's handling of the Korean webtoon property will be closely watched as a barometer for how well manhwa-to-anime adaptations can compete alongside established Japanese manga franchises in an increasingly crowded seasonal lineup. The July 8 premiere on Fuji TV and Crunchyroll will mark the studio's latest bid to bring a major Korean webtoon property to the anime mainstream.
