Since its birth in 1977, Lotte's "Bikkuriman" chocolate candy has been loved for over 45 years. The "Devil vs. Angel" series (released in 1985), which depicted a battle between a devil and an angel, became such a boom that it caused a social phenomenon.

Shin-Ei Animation (established in 1976), which was founded at the same time as Bikkuriman and is known for "Doraemon" and "Crayon Shin-chan," planned an animated version of this work. It is a completely original 2025 anime story featuring the well-known sticker characters Yamato, Ushiwaka, Jack, and Phoenix.

The teaser PV released by Lotte on April 1 has been updated with new animation pictures. The original characters are drawn by Hiroyuki Takei of "SHAMAN KING" fame, and the handsome and stylish Yamato, Ushiwaka, Jack, and Phoenix are all the focus of attention.

Staff Comments
Director: Tomohiro Tsukimiri
When we were told about the animation project, we were worried about how we should deliver it.

The quirky and comical characters, the vivid colors that jumped out at me, the joy of winning a rare and sparkling head sticker, the heated battle between angel heads and demon heads, etc....
I poured all of my own memories and feelings that I was crazy about at the time into this work.

I was so greedy that I turned the toy box upside down, but this is what Bikkuriman is all about.

This work is a comical but slightly bitter, modern-day story about those who have Bikkuriman as their roots.
Whether you are familiar with the original work or seeing it for the first time, you will be able to experience the passion of the time.
It is a story that is both funny and sympathetic to the modern world.

The story is told in a way that is both quirky and lovable, and we hope you will be surprised and enjoy the activities of these characters.

The first Bikkuriman I ever opened as an adult.
The palm-sized glittering stickers were so cute that I fell in love with them at first sight.
The anime "Bikkuri Men" is the story of those who love Bikkuriman.
We hope that those who have loved Bikkuriman since childhood, those who have recently become interested in Bikkuriman, and those who are about to meet Bikkuriman will also enjoy this anime.
--We hope that those who have loved Bikkuriman since childhood, those who have recently become interested in it, and those who are just getting to know it will enjoy it as well!

■Character draft: Hiroyuki Takei
Bikkuriman chocolates have been around since the first generation,
I am of the generation that used to play with Bikkuriman chocolates as stickers.

The stronger the sticker, the less likely you are to peel it off.
It has been a long time since they became like a Japanese sword.
I put a little of my personal feelings about that in this work.

You may think that this is an exciting school story, but it is not at all
but it's not at all.
I hope you will be a little surprised.

Character Design: Ayano Owada
At first, I was excited and thought, "That Bikkuriman! But as I saw the fascinating characters created by Hiroyuki Takei, the pressure changed to how I could convey this passion in the anime.

Although the story takes place in the present day and Yamato wears a school uniform, I hope you will enjoy the characters and the original story that has certainly taken over the seal's worldview.

The characters and the original story are surely inherited from the world of the stickers.
