The much-awaited cast and character List for "Blue Eye Samurai"

Michael Green and Amber Noizumi, the husband and wife team behind Blue Eye Samurai, got the inspiration for this tale the moment they laid eyes on their newborn. This Netflix series just uses the name of a historical Blue Eye Samurai—an English navigator named William Adams—who lived in 1600s Japan.

This animated series centers on Mizu, a multiracial warrior who has perfected the art of swordplay and is on a covert mission of revenge. Like Mulan in the story, she takes on a male identity and uses it to get revenge on those who shunned her. The show is able to create amazing imagery and push the talented voice actors beyond their physical limitations thanks to its ability to modify action scenes and use animation to convince the audience to suspend disbelief.

Some of the character descriptions:

Maya Erskine as Mizu

Maya Erskine, who won praise for PEN15's delightfully accurate depiction of adolescence, seems to fit the role of Mizu in Blue Eye Samurai. Her real-life experiences as a mixed-race woman make her an excellent fit for the heroic Mizu. This is a significant departure from her past roles, since she will now be playing a warrior who wields a sword of retaliation.

Brenda Song as Princess Akemi

She was both enslaved and born into privilege. After her engagement to Taigen ends, she tries to change her fate, demonstrating her tenacity and willpower.

Kenneth Branagh as Abijah Fowler

Irish criminal Fowler intends to topple the Shogunate, the Japanese military's term during the Edo period (1603–1868), and force Japan's doors open to the West.
