A new Kochikame anime is in production for a 2027 airing on Fuji TV with streaming on multiple platforms. The main cast and director were announced on September 5, 2026, during the livestream event Start! Reiwa Kochikame Grand Strategy.
Kochikame returns to animation in 2027 with a new adaptation titled New Kochikame: Katsushika-ku Kameari Kouenmae Hashutsujo. The project is tied to the 50th anniversary of Osamu Akimoto's original manga. It will air on Fuji TV and stream on multiple platforms. The announcement came during a livestream on September 5, 2026, on the Jump Channel, with a character promotional video and key visual released at the same time. The event, Start! Reiwa Kochikame Grand Strategy, remains archived on YouTube.
Fukushi Ochiai voices the protagonist Ryotsu Kankichi. Shouta Aoi is Keiichi Nakagawa, M.A.O is Reiko Akimoto, and Raiko Sakamoto is Daijiro Ohara. Akitaro Daichi directs, and Gallop handles animation production. One report names Jiro Akatsuki as director, a discrepancy that remains in the coverage. Gallop is the studio behind the earlier Kochikame TV anime.
The 50th anniversary also includes a new one-shot story in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump and a video game, Kochikame: Ryo-san's Billion-yen Beat, planned for multiple platforms. The new anime marks a Reiwa-era revival, with the production keeping Gallop, the studio that defined the earlier series' look.
