"Pochita is so cute!" & Images of Denji and Reze go viral; "Chainsaw Man" official reveals MAPPA booth at "AnimeJapan 2026"

On X, the official Chainsaw Man account revealed the MAPPA booth at "AnimeJapan 2026." The appearance of Pochita (CV: Shiori Izawa) and the illustrations shared at the end of the event have become a hot topic.

Two images were released on the first day of the event. The first features a large MAPPA logo designed as if it were vividly slashed by Denji (CV: Kikunosuke Toya), who holds the power of the Chainsaw Devil. In front of the sign, an adorable Pochita mascot is seen striking a pose. The second image captures a photo booth faithfully recreating Cafe Nidou from the series. On the counter seats, panels of Denji and Reze (CV: Reina Ueda) facing each other are placed, with Pochita peeking out in the foreground.

On the second day, a board featuring the teaser visual for the Assassins Arc—the sequel to the movie "Chainsaw Man The Movie Reze Arc"—was posted. Furthermore, an image of Reze and Denji at Cafe Nidou was released after the event concluded.

In response to this series of posts, comments on X included, "Pochita is so cute!", "It's Pochita! My expectations for this exciting space are through the roof," and "This looks like so much fun!" Others reacted to the images of Denji and Reze, saying, "This is wonderful!" and "I'm looking forward to future developments."

"Chainsaw Man" is an anime based on the hit manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto. To pay off his parents' debts, a young boy named Denji lives as a devil hunter alongside the Chainsaw Devil, Pochita. Following a certain incident, he is revived as "Chainsaw Man" with a devil's heart. He is then assigned to Public Safety Special Division 4, throwing him into a harsh battle in this dark hero action series. Chapter 232 of "Chainsaw Man," released on March 25 on "Shonen Jump+," marked the conclusion of Part 2.
