Japanese comedy duo EXIT has been announced as guest voice actors for the upcoming Anpanman theatrical film, scheduled for release on June 26, 2026.

Rintarō, one half of the comedy pair, will voice a weather-controlling monster, while his partner Daiki Kanechika takes on the role of Cutie Bird Robo. This marks another collaboration between popular entertainers and the beloved children's franchise.

Anpanman, created by Takashi Yanase, has been a cornerstone of Japanese children's entertainment for decades. The series follows the adventures of a superhero with an anpan (sweet bread) head who fights to protect his friends and deliver food to those in need. The franchise regularly features guest voice actors from Japan's entertainment industry in its annual film releases.

EXIT, formed in 2013, gained nationwide popularity through their appearances on variety shows and comedy programs. The duo's energetic performance style has made them household names in Japan, particularly among younger audiences.

The casting choice seems fitting given EXIT's appeal to families and children, aligning perfectly with Anpanman's target demographic. Weather-controlling abilities and robotic bird characters are typical of the creative, child-friendly concepts that populate the Anpanman universe.

More details about the 2026 film's plot and additional cast members are expected to be announced as the release date approaches.
