Akira is played by up-and-coming actor Eiji Akaso, while the intellectual heroine Shizuka, who always fights with a cool head, is portrayed by Mai Shiraishi, best known as a former member of Japanese pop band Nogizaka 46.
“Zom 100” also stars Shuntaro Yanagi.Yusuke Ishida directs “Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead” from a screenplay by Tatsuro Mishima. Akira Morii is a producer, and the film was produced and developed by ROBOT with production cooperation from Plus One Entertainment.
