An anime adaptation was revealed for Shu Sakuratani’s Rooster Fighter manga during last year’s San Diego Comic-Con, and now we have a release window. VIZ Media shared a new trailer at this weekend’s Anime Expo 2025 event, lining the anime up for a spring 2026 debut.

There’s also a new visual:
Daisuke Suzuki directs the anime at anime studio Sanzigen, with Hiroshi Seko on scripts. Kenta Miyake voices Keiji alongside Mariko Honda as Elizabeth and Shiori Izawa as Piyoko.
VIZ Media publishes the Rooster Fighter manga—which started in December 2020 and has 10 volumes out in Japan—in English and describes it like so:
Rooster Fighter Plot
The neighborhood cock of the walk is more than just an ordinary rooster—he’s humanity’s greatest defender! His opponents may be ten stories tall, but nothing is bigger than his stout heart and his fearsome battle cry—cock-a-doodle-doo!
