Kappa Sushi and FunnyMove's Unique Setsubun Collaboration

Kappa Sushi, a beloved sushi restaurant operated by Kappa Create Inc. in Yokohama, Kanagawa, is set to launch an exciting collaboration with the popular YouTube channel 'Mitchy’s Anime' from January 29 to February 3, 2026. This special project aims to bring the festive spirit of Setsubun to diners, combining delicious sushi with captivating entertainment.

The creative company behind 'Mitchy’s Anime,' FUNNYMOVE, has gained a significant following for its character animations, particularly the beloved 'Namichan and Miiko-san' series. Known for their clever dialogue and catchy pacing, these short animations resonate with audiences, providing quintessential entertainment for fans of all ages.

As part of the collaboration, Kappa Sushi will feature an original song titled "Ehōrin LOVE 2026," inspired by the popular seasonal idol unit 'Yugiris,' which emerges from the 'Mitchy’s Anime' universe. This catchy tune, themed around the tradition of eating ehōmaki (a type of sushi roll associated with Setsubun), will first be audible in the restaurant environment, enhancing the dining experience.

Starting January 29, guests at Kappa Sushi will enjoy this exclusive track alongside special voice recordings. The animated characters 'Namichan' and 'Miiko-san' will be featured in unique conversations specifically made for the restaurant, ensuring a fun and whimsical atmosphere.

Additionally, Kappa Sushi will provide easy access to past episodes of the 'Ehōrin LOVE' series through its touch screen panels. This digest of previous videos will allow diners to engage with the content during their meal, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to their dining experience.

While Setsubun is traditionally celebrated at home, Kappa Sushi invites everyone to join in the spirit at their locations, where the lively performances and visuals from 'Yugiris' promise to create a festive ambiance.

This initiative represents Kappa Sushi's commitment to making dining experiences more enjoyable and interactive. With their ongoing efforts to add excitement to family meals, Kappa Sushi continues to be a place where customers can create joyful memories together.
