The official website for Soreike! Anpanman: Chapon no Hero! has announced that actress Yū Aoi will voice the character Chapon in the 36th film of the beloved Anpanman franchise. Aoi is known for her roles in the live-action Rurouni Kenshin films and Children of the Sea.

The film follows Chapon, a mysterious boy who falls from the sky with no memory of his origins. After staying with Anpanman, he learns the joy of helping others and dreams of becoming a hero like him. However, when the villain Baikinman appears and reveals Chapon’s secret past, Chapon must decide whether his origins or his dreams define who he is.
