About Osomatsu-san

The Mr. Osomatsu television anime is based on Fujio Akatsuka's original Osomatsu-kun manga and "high tension comedy" TV anime. The story revolves around the Matsuno family and their six mischievous sons, who are sextuplets. All of the brothers, including the eldest Osomatsu, are infatuated with the same girl, Totoko. The original Osomatsu-kun series focused on the family when the sons were 10 years old. Mr. Osomatsu reimagines the manga and TV anime with the sextuplets as adults.

Anime Seasons and Films

The first three Mr. Osomatsu anime seasons premiered in 2015, 2017, and 2020. The Eiga no Osomatsu-san film was released in 2019. The franchise also encompasses numerous anime shorts and two sixth-anniversary anime films.
