During the stage event at AnimeJapan 2026, it was announced that Hoshikawa Kana will play the role of Hanano Chobi in the TV anime series "Toaru Anbu no Item". The announcement was made on March 28 at the Tokyo event.
Hanano Chobi is a Level-0 person with no special abilities, but possesses an exceptional talent for disguises. Her ability goes beyond simple camouflage: she can perfectly imitate not only the external appearance, but also the gestures, habits, speech patterns, voice, and even the body odor of her target. Even biometric features such as fingerprints, tooth shape, eyeballs, and blood type are precisely copied by her. In the story, she is introduced to the elite team "Item" by a mediator named "Telephone Voice".
"Toaru Anbu no Item" (originally: "A Certain Item of the Dark Side") is a spin-off of the well-known "Toaru" series and will air in autumn 2026. It is directed by Tatsuyuki Nagai, who was also responsible for "A Certain Scientific Railgun". Character design is handled by Shigeki Kimoto, while the animation, as with many spin-offs of the series, is produced by J.C.STAFF.
The main roles are already cast with notable voice actresses: Ami Koshimizu voices Shizuri Mugino, Aya Suzaki lends her voice to Rikou Takitsubou, Maaya Uchida voices Frenda Seivelun, and Chinatsu Akasaki plays the role of Saiai Kinuhata.
