‘Wind Breaker' Live-Action Film Adaptation Ignites Fighting Spirit In Dec
The fighting spirit that runs in the veins of Furin High School will continue into the silver screen, as a live-action film adaptation of Wind Breaker has been announced. Following the broadcast of the anime's second season finale, a new X/Twitter account opened to share a first-look teaser of the upcoming feature. Kentaro Hagiwara ( Blue Period , Tokyo Ghoul ) directs the project, with Yosuke Masaike ( Anime Supremacy! ) and Yoshitaka Kamo serving as scriptwriter and producer, respectively. Not much else is known, including cast details and story specifics, but it is set to be released in Japanese theatres this December. An accompanying visual was also revealed, as seen below: Based on Satoru Nii's delinquent action manga, Wind Breaker follows Haruka Sakura, who prides himself on being a skilled fighter while growing up as an outcast due to his unconventional appearance and lack of social skills, and his goal to become the best. The anime debut ran from April to June 2024, followed by a second season from April to June 2025. CloverWorks, whose credits include The Promised Neverland , Bocchi the Rock! , and Spy x Family , helmed both seasons, featuring series composition by Hiroshi Seko ( Chainsaw Man ), character designs by Taishi Kawakami, and music by Ryo Takahashi ( SK8 the Infinity ). 'Welcome to Furin High School, an institution infamous for its population of brawny brutes who solve every conflict with a show of strength. Some of the students even formed a group, Bofurin, which protects the town. Haruka Sakura, a first-year student who moved in from out of town, is only interested in one thing: fighting his way to the top,' reads the full synopsis for the series. The Wind Breaker live-action movie hits Japanese cinemas sometime in December. Si Jia is a casual geek at heart – or as casual as someone with Sephiroth's theme on her Spotify playlist can get. A fan of movies, games, and Japanese culture, Si Jia's greatest weakness is the Steam Summer Sale. Or any Steam sale, really. Wind Breaker Wind Breaker live-action
