Animate announced on Saturday, November 7, 2026, the multimedia project Harajuku Himegoto House (原宿ヒメゴトハウス), which will bring together a TV anime, original songs and more. The announcement came during Animate Girls Festival 2026 in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, where the project also had a booth with teaser screenings and a voice drama featuring the cast.
The story
The story is a high-tempo gag comedy: Mizuki Otokozawa, an ordinary boy who dreams of becoming the world's greatest assassin, travels to Harajuku looking for a legendary hitman hideout — and finds a pink café staffed by cute girls who are actually assassins in disguise.
Staff and cast
Plott plans and produces the project, known for shorts such as Teikō Penguin, with music from Bandai Namco Music Live (Lantis) and promotional support from Animate. The original character designs are by visual artist Akiakane (also credited as Aki Akane), of Paradox Live the Animation. Plott said in October that it would start producing TV anime from 2027.
The main cast is already set:
- Yuya Hirose as Mizuki Otokozawa
- Tetsuei Sumiya as Mero Togariishi
- Sohei Horikane as Takara Rokurokuso
- Masaru Yoshimura as Kentaro Jinbayama
- Takuma Nagatsuka as Yuki Inubo
- Nobuhiko Okamoto as Hitoshi Haritsukekawara
- Showtaro Morikubo as Sho Dogenzaka
Music, teaser and what's next
The group's first song, “Aisare Hodai! Himegoto House///♡”, has received a short music video, and the project has released a teaser of about 106 seconds. The official website, YouTube channel and X account are already live.
The project has not announced a premiere date or broadcast channel for the anime yet.
