Spring 2026 just got a major fantasy boost: the TV anime “Kokoore” is officially set to premiere in April 2026, and the very first teaser PV is now out. ⚔️✨ The footage hints at both the “legend” era battle and the tougher reality ten years later, when the hero lives under a new name as an F-rank adventurer. On top of that, two fresh characters have been revealed with their cast: Lucchira (voiced by M·A·O) and Mirka (voiced by Yuriei Kosakai). Here’s the fast recap of what was announced—and what to watch for in the PV.
April 2026 Premiere: What Just Got Announced
The biggest headline is clear: the anime begins airing in April 2026. The series is based on the popular fantasy title Koko wa Ore ni Makasete Saki ni Ike to Ittekara 10-nen ga Tattara Densetsu ni Natteita.（ここは俺に任せて先に行けと言ってから10年がたったら伝説になっていた。）—often shortened by fans as “Kokoore（ここ俺）.” Alongside the premiere window, the announcement also confirms the first teaser PV (the first real anime footage), plus new character and cast details. If you’ve been waiting for the adaptation to “feel real,” this is the moment it starts.
Teaser PV Highlights: Rock’s World Starts Moving
The teaser PV is built around contrast. The official announcement frames it as a look at the legendary hero party’s battle—and then the world ten years later, where the protagonist lives as an F-rank adventurer under the name Rock. That jump in time is the hook: huge destiny energy up front, then a grounded “life after the legend” reality check afterward.
When you watch, pay attention to how the PV sells that gap in tone. The action feels like it belongs to myth, while the later-era shots hint at a world that has already decided what “the hero” means—whether Rock wants that label or not. It’s a teaser, so it won’t explain everything, but it does something important: it makes the time-skip premise feel emotional, not just structural.

Meet Lucchira and Mirka, the New Story Catalysts
Two newly revealed characters widen the story’s range immediately—one bringing mystery and tactical flavor, the other bringing heart. Lucchira is a demon族 survivor from a village that worshipped a divine chicken named Gerbelga. She has high magical power and knowledge, specializes in illusions, and survives a vampire attack—fighting alone to protect Gerbelga until she meets Rock. Mirka, meanwhile, is a young girl who lost her parents early, then even lost her home, living in sewers—yet she remains bright, proactive, and determined to help others despite the odds.
Together, they’re a strong “story spark” pairing: Lucchira adds lore, danger, and strategy energy, while Mirka adds momentum on the human side—someone who can pull warmth and purpose out of a world shaped by legend and loss.
M·A·O and Yuriei Kosakai Join the Cast Lineup
New cast announcements can quietly reveal what kind of tone a show wants. M·A·O as Lucchira suggests a character who can hold a calm, cool surface while still snapping into sharp emotion when the situation demands it. Yuriei Kosakai as Mirka points to a performance that can balance softness with stubborn inner strength—exactly what you’d want for a character who has suffered, but refuses to dim.

How This “10 Years Later” Setup Hooks New Viewers
Many fantasy stories begin with “we must save the world.” Kokoore begins with something more personal: “I’ll handle this—go on ahead.” Then it asks the spicy follow-up question: what happens when that sacrifice becomes a legend… and you’re still alive to deal with it? That premise is also friendly for newcomers. Even without reading the novel or manga, the core is easy to grasp: a hero’s decision echoes for a decade, and the story begins where most tales would end.
