The Giant Ojosama TV anime revealed Rina Kawaguchi as the giant girl Stella and Risa Imayanagi as Madoka Ito ahead of its January 2027 premiere.
Two More Giant Girls Join the Cast
According to Anime News Network, the official X/Twitter account for the television anime of Nikumura Q's *Giant Ojō-sama* (Giant Young Lady) manga revealed on Friday that Rina Kawaguchi will play Stella, another giant girl, alongside a streamed character trailer.
The same account had revealed the previous week that Risa Imayanagi will play Madoka Ito, a member of the Secret Service who also becomes a giant girl. They join a lead cast that Anime News Network lists as Yū Serizawa as Oriko Fujidō and Junya Enoki as Dr. Sebastian.
A Tatsunoko Production With Veteran Staff
Anime News Network reports that the anime will premiere in January 2027, directed by Hiroshi Ikehata (*WITCH WATCH*) at Tatsunoko Production, with Katsuya Oshima as assistant director.
Hajime Mitsuda (*Food for the Soul*) serves as character designer and chief animation director, and Yū Satō (*Azur Lane: Slow Ahead!*) handles series composition and script, with music by Yūsuke Shirato, Kijibato, and Aira.
The staff also includes art director Akira Itō of StudioARA, color designer Misako Akama, editors Akinori Mishima, and animation producer Miki Kaneko, per the outlet.
The Story: an Heiress Who Grows Huge
As Anime News Network recounts, the story centers on Oriko Fujidō, the scion of an ultra-wealthy family who received an entire town as a present on her fourth birthday.
When a giant invader attacks her town, her butler Sebastian offers her a drink that transforms her into a giant, so she strives to protect the town — but might just end up destroying it, throwing its denizens' lives into chaos.
The premise explains why multiple characters, including Stella and Madoka Ito, are described as becoming giant girls themselves.
A Manga Worth Watching, in a Crowded Month
Anime News Network notes that Nikumura Q has serialized *Giant Ojō-sama* on Shogakukan's Sunday Webry service since July 2020, that Shogakukan published the 13th compiled volume on September 11, and that the manga was nominated for best web manga at the 2022 Next Manga Awards and ranked #5 in AnimeJapan's sixth 'Most Wanted Anime Adaptation' poll.
The January 2027 window is also stacked elsewhere: per E! Online via aol.com, *High Potential* returns to ABC on January 5, 2027, with Apple TV's *Neuromancer* following January 22 — so fans of giant-scale chaos will have plenty of company.
