My Home Hero live-action film: Trailer, key visual and main cast

My Home Hero live-action film, directed by Takahiro Aoyama, has released its trailer, key visual, and announced the main cast.

At the time of this writing, the English-translated version of the trailer has not been released. However, there is quite a bit of information that viewers can unpack. The trailer opens with Tetsuo Tosu killing someone before introducing his wife, Kasen Tosu, who is shocked at the sight of a corpse in their apartment. A b-roll from the trailer also briefly introduces the couple’s daughter, Reika Tosu.

The preview also depicted Tetsuo Tosu's relentless pursuit of new methods to eliminate targets and evade detection. The main character appeared to be entangled with highly dangerous individuals affiliated with major criminal syndicates. The preview concluded by unveiling the film's release date, set for March 8, 2024.

Cast

The key visual for the My Home Hero live-action film is clearly inspired by the cover of volume 1 of the manga. The image features the protagonist, Tetsuo Tosu, wearing a white shirt with rolled-up sleeves and a thin tie around his neck. He appears distressed and is depicted standing outside on a rainy night.

In the upcoming film, Kyohei Takahashi has been cast as Kyoichi Majima, Asuka Saito as Reika Tosu, and Tae Kimura as Kasen Tosu. Tae Kimura, who previously portrayed Miyuki in the live-action drama adaptation of Great Teacher Onizuka, will take on the role of Kasen Tosu.
