Rei Suwa Hits His Mark in Buddy Daddies Anime Character PV
It’s time to meet Rei Suwa, the trained assassin who makes up half the lead duo of Buddy Daddies!
The upcoming P.A.Works original anime just released a new character PV for Rei: a serious killer who rooms with extroverted criminal contractor Kazuki. The trailer and attached tweet describe him as “a man who does not know love”—but given the plot of the series, that’s likely to change.

With an original story draft by Vio Shimokura (Tokyo 24th Ward) and character draft by Katsumi Enami (Baccano!), Buddy Daddies is directed by Yoshiyuki Asai (Charlotte) at studio P.A.WORKS for a January 6, 2023 premiere and stars the following cast members:
- Kazuki Kurusu voiced by Toshiyuki Toyonaga (Tanizaki in Bungo Stray Dogs)
- Rei Suwa voiced by Koki Uchiyama (Takt in takt op.Destiny)
- Miri Urasaka voiced by Hina Kino (Alas Ramus in The Devil is a Part-Timer!)
As previously reported, the story follows Kazuki Kurusu, a criminal contractor/coordinator who lives with his best friend, Rei Suwa, a professional assassin who has been raised from childhood to be a contract killer. Kazuki is outgoing and loves gambling and women, while Rei is a man of few words who spends his off time playing video games. One day, the two buddies end up caring for Miri Unasaka, a four-year-old girl whose father is a mafia boss, after Miri accidentally wanders into a firefight in a hotel while looking for her father.
Buddy Daddies will be part of Crunchyroll’s Winter 2023 anime lineup!
