Also thanks to AmiAmi it’s possible to check a few more cast members from the anime:
Ginsei: Daisuke Namikawa
Genko: Rikiya Koyama
Zuishou: Hiroyuki Yoshino
Shuuichirou Kudou: Ken Narita
Daisuke Namikawa as Ginsei… of coooourse, how come I didn’t think of that? xD I don’t know the seiyuus for Genko or Zuishou, but judging by their faces I would say they fit ^^ And Shuuichirou’s seiyuu was Fuuma in X the movie. I think it fits xD
Here’s a preview of the cover of Newtype #11 featuring a new Kobato. illustration drawn by CLAMP:

Celebrating the arrival of the autumn (in Japan, at least xD). I wonder if that will be the cover of Kobato. volume 4.
Newtype #11 goes on sale October 10.
Special thanks to Aurelia for letting me know about this!
Here‘s a download link to the full issue of this month’s Newtype magazine.
It includes the latest Kobato. chapter as well as a 4-page article about the TV anime (with some pretty cool scenario and character setteis!).

Also, just a heads up that Tsubasa #28 (most likely the final volume) and the 2nd Tsubasa artbook will be both released on November 17. Click here (beware for spoilers!!) to check the announcement from the latest Tsubasa chapter.
Thanks clampholickyou for the heads up =)
This month’s Newtype magazine will announce more cast members from the Kobato. TV anime. Even though the magazine is only officially out on the 10th, the information has already leaked through the japanese board 2ch.
Kohaku: Chiwa Saitou
Kiyokazu Fujimoto: Tomoaki Maeno
Sayaka Okiura: Fumiko Orikasa
Chitose Mihara: Houko Kawashima
Kazuto Okiura: Shinichiro Miki
Fujimoto’s seiyuu looks like a newcomer, like Kobato’s seiyuu. The seiyuus of Sayaka, Chitose and the Debt Collector, on the other hand, are all long-time professionals. I was surprised with Chitose’s seiyuu, she did Satsuki in X and Minoru in Chobits, and they are both pretty “down” characters, not “kind” as I imagine Chitose to be… hummm, we’ll see.
Oh and we got to know the Debt Collector’s first name, it’s Kazuto! =D And I’m very happy with the seiyuu choice, Shinichiro Miki is perfect!
The Kobato. anime will start on October 6 (just one month away!)
And this is a preview for the next issue of Newtype, which will be celebrating the debut of the Kobato. TV Anime with lots of CLAMP features:
Thanks for the picture!
The preview says:
– Cover will be drawn by CLAMP;
– More information about the Kobato. anime;
– “Big news” regarding Code Geass R2;
– Trading cards giveaway that they are calling “CLAMP TRUMP”.
Lots of things to look forward to in the next Newtype issue, huh? The magazine will be on sale October 10.
Update: The official website of Kobato. TV Anime has a new illustration on its homepage, you can check the full illustration in high quality in this link (thanks shiro_han for letting me know about it!)
Sorry I’m a bit late on posting this, I was out of town ^^;
Kadokawa has launched a campaign to celebrate the upcoming releases of Kobato. and Wish! The campaign consists of earning points and exchanging them for a 15 cm Ioryogi plush strap.
The points will be available on the comics of Kobato. and Wish new version. A total of 1000 prizes are available.
Also good news! The release date of Kobato. #4 was announced! It will be released on December 26, a year after the release of volume 3.
Still on Kobato., Kadokawa has a special pre-order page for the 2010 calendar here.
Lastly, Kadokawa will release a new book called ALL ABOUT CLAMP. This will be the book version of the special magazines CLAMP Newtype that were first published in 2006.
The magazines carried information on all of CLAMP’s works, from RG Veda to Kobato., among from other contents. The uncompilled portion of X known as volume 18.5, first released with CLAMP Newtype [PLATINUM], will also be included in the book.
ALL ABOUT CLAMP will be released on October 24.
