Ishimori Production is releasing its first new Cyborg 009 anime in nearly a decade, Cyborg 009: Nemesis, which will stream three episodes starting July 19 across multiple Japanese platforms.
Ishimori Production is returning to the Cyborg 009 franchise after a long hiatus with Cyborg 009: Nemesis, a three-episode streaming series. The project was first announced in May 2026, when the studio revealed that Yuki Kaji would voice Joe Shimamura, the first returning Cyborg 009 character. The announcement also introduced nine new cast members for the Nemesis organization, including Yuichi Nakamura as Graviton and Ayane Sakura as Deps, with additional cast revealed weekly on the anime's website over the following two months.
The anime is directed by Hideki Ambo at studio Arect, with Atsuhiro Tomioka and CHARATEX writing the screenplay and sanorin handling character design. Singer Kyoko from the band Barbee Boys performs the theme song, a cover of the original 1979 Cyborg 009 TV series opening. Yuu Hayashi was later announced on May 19 as Cyborg 008/Pyunma.
In June, the studio confirmed that Cyborg 009: Nemesis will debut on July 19 at midnight JST across multiple Japanese streaming services, including Abema Premium, d Anime Store, U-NEXT, and Prime Video. A key visual was also released alongside the streaming date announcement. The project represents Ishimori Production's first new Cyborg 009 anime in roughly a decade.
