Harajuku Himegoto House, a new multimedia project integrating television anime, music, and live events, officially launched on November 7, 2026. The project was unveiled during the Animate Girls Festival (AGF) 2026 as a major collaboration between the production company Plott, the retail giant Animate, and the music label Lantis.
This media mix initiative is designed to blend various entertainment formats, with the television anime serving as a central pillar of the franchise. The project introduces a unique "assassin cafe" concept, setting a comedic tone that contrasts colorful Harajuku aesthetics with underworld character archetypes.
What We Know
The planning and production for Harajuku Himegoto House are led by Plott, with promotional cooperation from Animate. The project features original character designs by the artist Aki Akane, who is also known as Akane Aki. Music production is handled by Bandai Namco Music Live under the Lantis label.
The initial announcement confirmed a primary voice cast featuring several high-profile actors. Yuya Hirose voices the protagonist Mizuki Otokozawa, while Tetsuei Sumiya plays Mero Togariishi and Sohei Horikane plays Takara Rokurokuso. The cast also includes Masaru Yoshimura as Kentaro Jinbayama, Takuma Nagatsuka as Yuki Inubo, Nobuhiko Okamoto as Hitoshi Haritsukekawara, and Showtaro Morikubo as Sho Dogenzaka. The project's reveal included a teaser trailer and a key visual showcasing the main characters.
Why It Matters
The story is described as a "high-tempo gag" comedy following Mizuki, an aspiring hitman. Mizuki travels to Harajuku seeking a legendary assassin hideout, but his search leads him to a vibrant pink cafe instead. The establishment is staffed by an eccentric group of characters, including a gyaru, a gothic lolita, and a centaur. This setting serves as the primary location for the project's comedic scenarios and upcoming voice dramas.
