Upcoming anime Kakushigoto has revealed that it will begin airing in April 2020. Based on a manga of the same name by Koji Kumeta, Kakushigoto follows the story of a writer of erotic manga, who keeps his job secret from his young daughter. A teaser visual has been revealed of the Goto father and daughter standing by the shore. There is also a teaser trailer in which his daughter, Hime, can be heard saying “What is your secret?” (‘kakushigoto’ / 隠し事) and “My father’s secret is drawing for a living” (‘kaku shigoto’ / 描く仕事), giving us a taste of the wordplay that Kumeta is famous for.

Voicing Kakushi will be Hiroshi Kamiya, who is well-known for playing the titular character in the anime adaptation of Koij Kumeta’s previous manga, Sayonara, Zetsubo-sensei. Rie Takahashi will be voicing Kakushi’s daughter, Hime. Check out the character introductions down below.
