by The popular character “Anya” from the anime “SPY x FAMILY” appeared at Tsutenkaku in Osaka on the 13th. The local god, Billiken, turned into “Anya-sama,” surprising the tourists and students on the school trip. Anya was pleased and proudly agreed to take a commemorative two-shot photo.
To commemorate the release of “SPY×FAMILY CODE: White the Movie” on the 22nd of this month, the “Anya Outing!? Project” has started to decorate famous statues and landmarks around Japan in Anya’s style. In Osaka, the mysterious American-born god Billiken, enshrined on the observation deck of Tsutenkaku Tower, will transform into pink hair for a limited time until the 27th.
Billiken has pink hair and wears an Anya-style skirt. His characteristic smile remains the same, and he now has a cute yet unique “Kimokawa” style. The students on the school trip, who had come from Tohoku, looked wide-eyed and a little nervous as they took photos and interacted with Anya.
The honest Anya is full of energy in Osaka, enjoying the view from Tsutenkaku and waving. She was also very interested in Mr. Billiken, who had become “Anya-sama,” and reached out her hand to stroke his feet, hoping to get some good luck from the movie’s blockbuster success.
The main character of “SPY x FAMILY” is Lloyd, a talented spy who works daily on intelligence missions to make the world a better place. A special mission arrives for him. He aimed to “create a family and infiltrate a certain prestigious elementary school.” For that purpose, the child he took in, Anya, had supernatural powers, and his wife, Yor, with whom he proposed a contract marriage, was an assassin—a spy action comedy about building a family and taking on missions.
The original manga has been serialized on the manga app “Shonen Jump +” since March 2019 and is a famous work with a cumulative circulation of over 30 million copies. The first season of the TV anime will be broadcast from April to June 2022, the second season will be broadcast from October to December, and season 2 will be broadcast from October 2023.
The first movie to be made into a film, “SPY×FAMILY CODE: White,” is an entirely new original story. The Folgers go on a family trip together for the first time, and when Anya stumbles across some delicious chocolate and eats it, they are caught up in a series of incidents that will affect the world’s fate.
