Seiya from the comedy duo Shimofuri Myojo will guest star in the third season of the new Ranma 1/2 anime, pulling double duty as the season's promotional ambassador. The announcement lands ahead of the season's October 3, 2026 premiere on NTV, with Netflix handling the streaming release afterward.

The move slots a recognizable comedy personality into the revival of Rumiko Takahashi's beloved martial arts rom-com, which has been steadily rolling out new seasons since its 2023 reboot. Seiya's guest appearance and ambassador role suggest the production is leaning into cross-media promotion—a standard play for major anime franchises, but one that signals confidence in the third season's reach.
