A special screening at the “Gegege-ki 2021” event revealed the main staff and the full teaser visual for the upcoming Kitarō Tanjō: Gegege no Nazo (Kintarō Birth: The Mystery of Gegege).
The latest GeGeGe no Kitarō anime — the sixth television anime incarnation — premiered in April 2018 and replaced Dragon Ball Super in the same timeslot.
Mizuki’s manga, which began in 1959 under the name Hakaba Kitarō, has spawned seven television series (including one Hakaba Kitarō anime), several animated movies, and two live-action films.
The 2018 anime starred Miyuki Sawashiro as Kitarō and Masako Nozawa as Medama Oyaji.
