Natsuki Hanae has been cast as an alien in the Sgt. Frog 20th anniversary film and as Detective Lemonade in the updated Uso Tantei Tomanto short anime, both in May 2026.
Natsuki Hanae has taken on two new voice roles in May 2026. On May 25, the staff of the Uso Tantei Tomanto short anime announced that Hanae will voice the ace detective Lemonade in the updated version of the series. The updated version began airing weekly on NTV's ZIP! program on March 30. The next day, the official website for the Sgt. Frog 20th anniversary film, Shin Gekijōban ☆ Keroro Gunsō Fukkatsu Shite Sokkō Chikyū Metsubō no Kiki de Arimasu!, listed Hanae among seven additional guest voice cast members, playing an alien. The film opens in Japan on June 26.
These roles follow Hanae's earlier work in 2026. In June, the anime adaptation of Amara's Neko to Ryū novels announced its streaming debut for June 27, though Hanae's involvement in that project is not mentioned in the provided stories. The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. 10th anniversary project released non-credit opening videos in June, but Hanae is not connected to that project in the provided stories.
The two May 2026 casting announcements show Hanae active in both a legacy franchise film and a short-form anime update. The Sgt. Frog film is the first feature in 16 years and arrives alongside a new TV series with a different cast, while Uso Tantei Tomanto is expanding its cast for its updated run.
