Hiroshi Kamiya is on the road and on streaming: he closed his Share Live tour with the stage duet he had wanted, and his Mononoke film trilogy completed its Netflix run. He also joined Mission: Yozakura Family as Kai Izumo and voices Dozen in Shozen, which premieres April 2027.
Kamiya's recent year divides into three strands: a solo music run, a film trilogy tied to a long-running character, and new cast roles in television anime. The Share Live tour ended September 5 at Tokyo International Forum Hall A with the Saori Hayami duet "Synchro," which Kamiya had said he wanted to stage. Hiroyuki Yoshino appeared live for "Mugen Paradox," and the encore brought IXIS members Motoharu Ono and Taichi Kusano, plus Masaya Onosaka and Ryotaro Okiayu, on stage. The run supported the 11th mini album "Share Music."
Two weeks earlier, Netflix confirmed that Mononoke the Movie: Chapter 3, The Serpent God would stream worldwide starting September 29, following its May 2026 Japanese theatrical opening. Kamiya voices the Medicine Seller across the trilogy. The third chapter centers on Sachiko, voiced by Atsumi Tanezaki, and closes the Ooku-set trilogy. Chapters 1 and 2 were already on Netflix, so the confirmation completed the set on one platform. The same announcement noted that a new Mononoke project, featuring a third Medicine Seller named Ken, had been announced in July 2026.
On television, Kamiya joined the second season of Mission: Yozakura Family as Kai Izumo, Kyoichiro's best friend and the spy association president, a role announced at the Chayamachi Oshi Festival 2026 stage presentation and debuting in the 38th episode on June 21. He also voices Dozen in Shozen, the adaptation of Jiang Jia Meizi's manhua Shang Shan, which received its first promotional video and an April 2027 premiere date. Rina Kawaguchi plays the title character, with Itsuro Kawasaki directing and writing at Dangan Pictures and Cannon Code.
Separately, the tenth anniversary of The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. brought the non-credit opening videos for seasons one and two to the ShoPro Channel YouTube channel for free on June 1, with non-credit ending videos set for June 8.

The anime film Mononoke the Movie: Chapter 3, The Serpent God, which opened in Japanese theaters in May 2026, will be exclusively streamed worldwide on Netflix starting Tuesday, September 29. This installment is the concluding chapter of a new theatrical trilogy based on the 2007 TV anime Mononoke, which itself originated from the Bakeneko arc of Ayakashi: Samurai Horror Tales. The trilogy is set in the Ooku, the inner chambers of the shogun's palace, and follows the Medicine Seller, voiced by Hiroshi Kamiya, as he exorcises vengeful spirits. Each chapter shifts perspective to a woman of higher status: a new maid in Chapter 1, The Phantom Rain; an elite senior maid in Chapter 2, The Fire Rat; and the Midaidokoro, the highest-ranking woman, in Chapter 3. The third film centers on Sachiko, voiced by Atsumi Tanezaki, whose newborn son dies, triggering a conspiracy tied to the Ooku's founding 150 years earlier. The theme song is No Epilogue by Aina The End. Chapters 1 and 2 are already streaming on Netflix, so the full trilogy will be available at once.
The television anime adaptation of Jiang Jia Meizi's Chinese manhua Shang Shan, titled Shozen, received its first promotional video on Wednesday, confirming an April 2027 premiere. The series will air in the B8station programming block on Fuji TV and other venues. The story follows the wandering Taoist priest Dozen, who meets a young girl raised by supernatural creatures. He names her Shozen and takes her on as his disciple, teaching her about human emotion and love. The cast includes Rina Kawaguchi as Shozen, Hiroshi Kamiya as Dozen, Daisuke Sakuma as Ryojin, Aoi Yuki as Kensei, and Ayumu Murase as Chiro. Itsuro Kawasaki directs and writes the scripts at Dangan Pictures and Cannon Code, with Eri Osada handling character designs and Takuro Iga composing the music. Alongside the trailer, Micro Magazine's RaiComi website began releasing the manhua's Japanese version, starting with the first twenty chapters on Wednesday. The original series continues to run on bilibili Manga.
Toy Story 5 opened in Japan on July 3, 2026, following a record-breaking US debut that earned approximately $160 million in its opening weekend. The film's worldwide box office has surpassed $585 million, exceeding the final totals of Toy Story and Toy Story 2. The Japanese dub cast includes Alice Hirose as the new character Lily Pad, with comments from the actress and details on theater bonuses.
Hiroshi Kamiya has been cast as Kai Izumo in the second season of the Mission: Yozakura Family anime. Kai is Kyoichiro's best friend and the president of the spy association.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the anime, the non-credit opening videos for seasons one and two of The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. have been released for free on the ShoPro Channel YouTube channel. The four opening songs are now available to stream. Non-credit ending videos are scheduled for June 8.
