Assassin Anime The Fable Premieres On Disney+ Hotstar This April

After an exceptional year that saw a renowned assassin take more lives than ever before, the hitman is suddenly forced into hiding after attracting too much-unwanted attention in The Fable, a new anime series coming to Disney+ Hotstar on 7 April 2024.

Adapted from the best-selling manga The Fable by Katsuhisa Minami and published by KODANSHA Ltd., The Fable follows a legendary hitman called “Fable” who has spent his entire life training to become the world’s best assassin. Famed within the underworld for his skillset, Fable knows nothing except how to deliver a quick death. After finishing off the year with more confirmed kills than ever before, Fable suddenly finds himself at a loss when the head of his crime family orders him to lay low and not kill anyone for a year. Suddenly uprooted, moved to Osaka and surrounded by trigger-happy criminals, Fable will be forced to control his temperament and adapt to the ordinary if he wants to survive.

Featuring exceptional voice performances from Kazuyuki Okitsu (Metallic Rouge, Gintama) as Fable/Akira Sato; Miyuki Sawashiro (Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger, Kamen Rider Decade) as Yoko Sato; Kana Hanazawa (Your Name, The Garden of Words), as Misaki Shimizu; Akio Otsuka (Ghost in the Shell, One Piece) as Takeshi Ebihara; Kenjiro Tsuda (Yi Yi, Golden Kamuy) as Kojima; Tetsuo Komura (Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Little Witch Academia) as Boss; and Jun Fukushima (Undead Unluck, Goblin Slayer) as Jackal Tomioka; The Fable is adapted for anime by Yuya Takashima (Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury) and Mayumi Morita (Goddess Café Terrace), and is directed by Ryosuke Takahashi.
