Kuromi is getting a movie, and honestly, it’s about time

Kuromi has been a lot of things over the years—a fashion icon, a musician, Sanrio's reigning queen of mischief. Now she can add "movie star" to the list.

Sanrio made the announcement on October 31, which just so happens to be Kuromi's birthday. The character's very first feature film is set to hit Japanese theaters in 2027, with GAGA Corporation handling planning and distribution. International release details will be shared as they're confirmed.

If you somehow haven't met Kuromi yet: she debuted in 2005, rocks a black hood and pink skull, and looks like she's ready to cause trouble at any moment. And she is. But here's the twist—beneath that exterior beats the heart of a true romantic. She loves handsome guys, keeps a diary where she pours out her delicate feelings, and has built a devoted following among young women who appreciate her gap moe charm. Her message is simple but powerful: "You can become whoever you want to be!" Through the #WorldKuromificationProject, she's been spreading the idea that everyone deserves to become their best self. Now she's taking that message to the big screen. 

The announcement came with a comment from Kuromi herself, though plot details, staff, and cast remain under wraps. What we do know is that Kuromi has already conquered music, fashion, and merchandise—and now she's setting her sights on theaters.

For Kuromi fans, this is the news they've been waiting for. A full-length film starring Sanrio's most lovable bad girl is exactly the kind of chaotic energy we need right now. The movie hits Japanese theaters in 2027. Stay tuned for more details—and start practicing your Kuromi pose now.
