Osomatsu-san

Synopsis

"Mr. Osomatsu" (Osomatsu-san) is a TV anime produced by Studio Pierrot and broadcast in 2015, based on Fujio Akatsuka's classic gag manga "Osomatsu-kun." Set in a fictional comedic world, it reimagines the sextuplet brothers—Osomatsu, Karamatsu, Choromatsu, Ichimatsu, Jyushimatsu, and Todomatsu—as grown-up, jobless slackers rather than the children of the original. Its appeal lies in a stream of surreal, fast-paced comedy sketches driven by the six brothers' distinct personalities, sprinkled throughout with homages and parodies. This bold, modern reinterpretation of beloved characters became a delightful hit gag comedy.

Why visit the real-life locations

"Mr. Osomatsu" is a gag series based on Fujio Akatsuka's "Osomatsu-kun," centered on the surreal sketches of six slacker brothers. Much of it unfolds in a stylized, fictional world that rarely pins itself to real-world locations, so it differs from scenery-tracing pilgrimages. First, simply enjoy the work's own charm—the brothers' banter, running gags, and affectionate parodies of the original. As candidate model locations and related spots are confirmed, pilgrimage spots will be added here in future updates.
