The Japanese cast for the three characters has also been announced, with Ishigami Shizuka from Food Wars, Moriarty the Patriot, and Vinland Saga, voicing Makio. Toyama Nao, who has previously acted in My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU, Moriarty the Patriot, Blue Exorcist, and Kono Oto Tomare, appears as Suma.

What to expect
Demon Slayer Season 2 Episode 9 can be called the first episode delving into the Entertainment District arc. The first episode of this arc did not provide a proper preview for what comes next other than the title.
However, the opening theme, Zankyou Sanka by Aimer, coupled with said title and synopsis of the arc, gives much away. It showed Zenitsu and Tanjiro with makeup on their faces, living undercover in the pleasure houses with other geisha.
Fans can also expect to finally hear and see the ending theme, Asa ga kuru, by Aimer at the end of Demon Slayer Season 2 Episode 9.
