The upcoming movie, titled Shingekijoban☆Keroro Gunso Fukatsushite Sokko Chikyu Metsubo no Kiki de arimasu! (roughly translated as Keroro Gunsou: Revival! Immediate Earth Destruction Crisis!), marks the 20th anniversary of the franchise. The teaser showcases Keroro and his platoon preparing for yet another chaotic mission, teasing new invaders and comedic battles. The film is slated for summer 2026 and will feature returning voice cast members, including: - Etsuko Kozakura as Tamama - Joji Nakata as Giroro - Takehito Koyasu as Kururu - Takeshi Kusao as Dororo - Chiwa Saito as Natsumi Hinata - Akiko Hira as Aki Hinata Adding to the excitement, Yuichiro Fukuda—known for live-action adaptations of Gintama and The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.—will serve as general director and screenwriter. This marks the first major Sgt. Frog film project in years, reigniting nostalgia for fans who grew up with the series’ blend of slapstick humor, pop culture parodies, and heartfelt moments.

TV Tokyo and Sunrise's Sgt. Frog, which ruled the airwaves between 2004 and 2011, has announced a new TV project to celebrate its 20th anniversary. 

A Brief History of “Sgt. Frog”

“Sgt. Frog” first hopped onto Japanese television screens in 2004, introducing viewers to the misadventures of Sergeant Keroro and his ragtag team of alien frogs. The premise was delightfully absurd: a group of frog-like extraterrestrials from the planet Keron crash-landed on Earth, only to find themselves hilariously ill-equipped for their invasion mission. Instead of conquering the planet, they ended up living with the unsuspecting Hinata family, navigating everyday life, and occasionally attempting to take over the world (with comically disastrous results). The show’s blend of slapstick humor, heartwarming moments, and quirky characters struck a chord with audiences of all ages. Sgt. Keroro’s obsession with model kits, Private Tamama’s love of girly things, and Corporal Giroro’s gruff exterior (but soft interior) became iconic staples of the series.

The 20th Anniversary Project

Fast forward to 2024, and the nostalgia train is again pulling into the station. TV Tokyo and Sunrise Animation have revealed that a new “Sgt. Frog” TV project is in the works. While details are still under wraps, fans can expect a mix of old and new: classic characters, intergalactic shenanigans, and perhaps a few surprises. Rumors are swirling about whether the original voice cast will return, but one thing is certain: the spirit of “Sgt. Frog” lives on. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a curious newcomer, mark your calendars for the anticipated return of our favorite froggy invaders.
