Update: The series will be adapted into a game titled Ninja Kamui: Shinobi Origins in spring 2024.
Adult Swim describes the anime:
Ninja Kamui follows Joe Higan as a Nukenin-a former ninja who escaped his clan and is hiding from his violent past in rural America with his family. One night, he was ambushed by a group of assassins from his old organization, who exacted bloody retribution on Joe and his family for betraying their ancient code. Escaping his seeming death, Joe would reappear as his old self—Ninja Kamui—to avenge his family and friends. Kamui is a 21st-century ninja, a shadowy anachronism who uses his ancient skills to counter high-tech weaponry with brutal dexterity. He must face off against trained assassins, battle robots and rival ninjas to take down the very clan that created him.
Sunghoo Park (Jujutsu Kaisen, The God of High School) is directing the futuristic action/adventure anime Ninja Kamui. Takeshi Okazaki (Afro Samurai, Star Wars: Visions, Batman Ninja) designed the characters. Park’s new studio E&H production and Sola Entertainment (Lord of The Rings: War of The Rohirrim, Blade Runner: Black Lotus, Ultraman) are producing the series.
