Known for its live-action productions, CHOCOLATE Inc. is taking a leap into the world of animation with its first animated film project, "KILLTUBE." The company is aiming for a release in 2026 and has appointed Kazuaki Kuribayashi as the director.

"KILLTUBE" is set in an alternate Japan where the Edo period continues into the year 2026, governed by strict social hierarchies. The only way to change one's social status in this closed society is through "duel streaming." Against this backdrop, the story unfolds as a trio from the lowest social stratum defies public ridicule to rise to the top.

Alongside the release of the synopsis, CHOCOLATE Inc. has unveiled a pilot video for "KILLTUBE," showcasing a vibrant depiction of Shibuya and Shinjuku in this parallel world under the theme of "Edo Punk."
