Sakuma-kun, the mascot of the &sauna YouTube channel, which explores saunas around Japan, will soon get its very own TV anime adaptation! Totonoe! Sakuma-kun by &sauna is the upcoming TV anime, which will be following the everyday life of a sauna-loving family. The unique thing about this family is they are a family of bears!

Kaori Maeda, who will be playing the role of Sakuma-kun, one of the Totonoe! Sakuma-kun by &sauna anime's main characters, released the following statement about her overall experience so far with the anime's creation:

I'm Kaori Maeda, who plays the role of Sakuma-kun in "Totonoe! Sakuma-kun by &sauna" . This time, as a spin-out project of the Youtube sauna channel "&sauna", a TV anime starring Sakuma-kun, a bear who loves saunas, will begin. I often go to the sauna with my fellow voice actors after work, and we enjoy the sauna life by taking a break and eating after taking a sauna. The highlight of the anime is that it is a soft and fluffy anime that conveys the fun and wonderfulness of saunas, and there are occasional snippets and many points that will make you laugh. Please look forward to it.
