Kujima Utaeba Ie Hororo Anime Adds Three New Cast Members for Kouda Family Roles

The TV anime adaptation of Akira Konno's supernatural comedy manga, Kujima Utaeba Ie Hororo, confirmed three additional cast members today alongside dropping a new key visual. The series is set to premiere in April 2026.

Joining the previously announced leads are Yōhei Azakami, who will voice Suguru Kouda, the older brother of protagonist Arata who is struggling after a failed university entrance exam. Hirofumi Nojima is cast as Masaomi Kouda, and Ryōko Shiraishi will voice Miyoshi Kouda, rounding out the Koda family.

Yuria Kōzuki was previously confirmed as the titular bird-like Kujima, while Ayumu Murase plays first-year middle schooler Arata Koda.

Production is being handled by Studio Hibari. Noriyuki Nomata is directing the series, with Shinichiro Kimura serving as series director. Yasunori Yamada is writing the scripts, while Sakurako Mitsuhashi is designing the characters. Manami Kakudō is composing the music.

The anime will air across several networks, including Tokyo MX, MBS, BS-TBS, and AT-X. Crunchyroll secured the international streaming rights. Domestic Japanese viewers can catch the series on U-NEXT and Anime Hōdai.

Konno’s original manga ran in Shogakukan’s Gessan magazine from September 2021 until its conclusion in April 2024. The fifth and final collected volume shipped in May 2024.

The story centers on Arata Koda, who encounters the mysterious, food-obsessed Kujima during the autumn. She is a bird-like creature who ends up moving in with the tense Koda household, a situation complicated by Suguru's academic struggles, and stays with them through the winter and into the following spring.
