The official website of Trigun Stampede anime announced on Feb 5, 2023, that Genki Muro will voice the character Livio the Double Fang. The character will appear from episode 6 of the anime, which will air on Feb 11, 2023.

Livio the Double Fang is described as an assassin with high fighting ability who has been physically modified by “Eye of Michael”. He uses his Double Fang, a double-barreled machine gun that has muzzles on the front and back and can fire simultaneously at the top, bottom, left, and right, to hunt down his enemies. He is brainwashed and has lost his sense of self.

A rough translation of Genki Muro’s comment can be read below:

I will not forget the feelings and emotions that I felt when I read the manga, such as “this is a wonderful scene” or “this is chic and cool”, and I will not forget what kind of character the newly reborn Livio of TRIGUN STAMPEDE is. What does this word mean? I participated in the recording session while trying to think with a fresh mind and without preconceptions.
We are just as excited about the future of TRIGUN STAMPEDE as our viewers are. We hope you will join us in watching and supporting this project.
