#Little Shark’s Day Out Anime Film Unveils New Key Visual & 2 Additional Cast Members
A new key visual and two more cast members have been unveiled for the upcoming Little Shark’s Day Out anime film. The film, known in Japanese as Eiga Odekake Kozame Tokai no Otomodachi, will be screened theatrically in Japan sometime this coming summer.
The new visual also confirms the addition of two new cast and characters, which include Yuichiro Umehara as Man with a Mohawk and Natsuki Hanae as Haruto.
They join the anime film’s main voice cast that includes Kana Hanazawa as Kozame-chan, Megumi Han as Anko-chan, and Misaki Kuno as Usame-chan.
Little Shark’s Day Out will also be collaborating with Bocchi the Rock! through merchandise for sale at this year’s upcoming AnimeJapan event.
Chihiro Kumano (The Mononoke Lecture Logs of Chuzenji-sensei) is directing the new film, with Hiroaki Nagashima as screenwriter and scriptwriter (who was the scriptwriter for the short anime series), Ayumi Takeuchi (My Happy Marriage key animation) as character designer, Kisuke Koizumi (My Happy Marriage) as sound director, and Yoshiaki Fujisawa (Love Live! Superstar!!) as music composer. ENGI is handling the film’s animation production after working on the short series.
All 60 episodes of the web anime series are available on YouTube with English subtitles.
The short anime is based on a digital manga series by Penguin Box, which was first uploaded on their Twitter in June 2021. It was later published in Enterbrain’s Aokishi magazine on October 20, 2021 under the Kitora imprint. Six tankobon volumes have been released as of December 2024.
The Little Shark’s Day Out anime film will follow Kozame-chan on her trip to the city, after being dazzled by a flashy poster of it in front of the train station. Kozame-chan boards the train and travels to the bright, noisy, crowded city to embark on another big adventure.
