"Yowapeda - Spare Bike" Anime Movie Adds Daisuke Sakaguchi and Mariya Ise

On September 9th, a Yowamushi Pedal - Spare Bike double movie, adapting Wataru Watanabe's spin-off/prequel about the back stories of the series' third-year cycling competitors, hits Japanese theaters for a limited, two-week run.

 

The two stories focus on Sohoku High School's Yuusuke Makishima, who, as a freshman, was ridiculed by the upper classmen for his unusual dancing-style technique and Hakone native Jinpachi Toudou, who, in junior-high, was too concerned about the condition of his hair to compete. Joining the cast for the the latter will be Daisuke Sakaguchi (Gintama's Shinpachi) as Toudou's friend Shusaku Itokawa  and Mariya Ise (Kabaneri's Yukina) as Hakone manager Minami.

 

A third season of the TV anime is also planned for winter 2017.
