Gacha Girls Corps casts Momo Sakurai as Mofutto
Momo Sakurai joins the cast as Mofutto, while an official character PV previews the mascot's ending-theme version ahead of the anime's January 2027 debut.
Gacha Girls Corps (ガチャを回して仲間を増やす 最強の美少女軍団を作り上げろ) has added Momo Sakurai to its cast as the rabbit-like mascot Mofutto, with the character's promotional video also previewing a new version of the anime's ending theme. The announcement comes ahead of the television series' planned January 2027 debut.1
A new voice for Mofutto
The official anime website identifies Sakurai, a member of the idol group ≠ME, as Mofutto's voice actor. The character is described as a mascot-like presence who helps the party during its travels and is known for a soft, rabbit-like appearance. Sakurai also supplies an official comment about taking on the role and bringing Mofutto's gentle personality to the screen.1
The casting update does not change the show's release window. Gacha Girls Corps remains scheduled to begin broadcasting in January 2027, and the announcement does not name a more specific premiere date or confirm a streaming territory. That distinction matters: this is a cast and music update, not a fresh launch-date announcement.1
The ending theme gets a Mofutto version
A character PV released through the official Starry Cube YouTube channel gives viewers an early look at Mofutto and includes the instrumental version of “Mofu-kyun Heart♡”. The eventual Mofutto version will be performed by the character, with Sakurai providing the voice. The video description credits Ryo Aizawa with the lyrics, Takaaki Utsumi with composition and arrangement, and Starry Cube Records with the release.2
The PV is useful context for the casting news because it shows how the production is positioning Mofutto: not simply as a background mascot, but as a character with a distinct performance identity and a direct connection to the ending song. It also gives the first public sample of Sakurai's character voice in the role.2
What the announcement tells us
The update strengthens the anime's promotional push without overpromising what has been confirmed. We now have a named voice actor, a character-focused PV and a Mofutto version of the ending theme, but still no exact broadcast date. For viewers deciding whether to keep the series on their January watchlist, the clearest takeaway is that Mofutto is being introduced as part of the show's musical and character identity rather than as a last-minute casting footnote.
Our opinion
This is the sort of small but meaningful anime update that earns attention because it connects several pieces of the production at once. Sakurai's casting gives Mofutto a recognisable performer, while the character PV makes the ending-theme plan feel like part of the show's personality instead of a detached promotional bullet point. It is not a major scheduling reveal, but it gives Gacha Girls Corps a more tangible identity ahead of its January 2027 broadcast.
