Golden Kamuy is based on the Shueisha-published historical adventure manga by Satoru Noda, which ran from 2014 to 2022 with 31 volumes. Viz Media describes the manga as such:
In the early twentieth century, Russo-Japanese War veteran Saichi “Immortal” Sugimoto scratches out a meager existence during the postwar gold rush in the wilderness of Hokkaido. When he stumbles across a map to a fortune in hidden Ainu gold, he sets off on a treacherous quest to find it. But Sugimoto is not the only interested party, and everyone who knows about the gold will kill to possess it! Faced with the harsh conditions of the northern wilderness, ruthless criminals and rogue Japanese soldiers, Sugimoto will need all his skills and luck—and the help of an Ainu girl named Asirpa—to survive.
The Golden Kamuy anime began in 2018. The show was produced by Geno Studio until Brain’s Base took over for the 2022 fourth season.
The manga was serialized in the seinen magazine Weekly Young Jump and has its volumes published under the Young Jump Comics label. A second live-action movie, Golden Kamuy: Abashiri Kangoku Shuugeki-hen, is scheduled to premiere on March 13, 2026.
