Etotama 10th Anniversary Page Released

The official website of the anime adaptation of Zekuu Tooru and Hoshi Takashi’s Etotama manga series has released a special 10th-anniversary page, including a new visual and messages from sixteen cast members.

Cast Messages:

• Murakawa Rie (voice of Nyaa-tan):
  • “2025 is the 10th anniversary of the Etotama broadcast!!
    Congratulations~~~!!!
    Since Etotama was rushing through,
    it feels like we’ve already gone through the 10th anniversary about 10 times, but that’s just an afterimage!
    I’m really happy to be able to celebrate the 10th anniversary with all of you! Thank you!
    This year is the year of Shaa-tan!
    (And Nyaa-tan anytime)
    
    Please continue to support Etotama!
    On three! Kagura Senguu~~~!!”

• Ohara Sayaka (voice of Chuu-tan):
  • “Congratulations on the 10th anniversary of Etotama!
    
    I still clearly remember the lively and fun scenes from the recording studio, the cuteness of the characters, and the sweat I shed when I exchanged my full-force special move with Nyaa~tan in the final episode. It’s also a great memory that I got to sing many songs! From cool songs to humorous ones and the emotional ‘blue moment’…
    sometimes I listen to them again and smile.
    
    I hope the day comes when I can meet Chuu-tan and the others again!!”

• Matsui Eriko (voice of Moo-tan):
  • “Congratulations on the 10th anniversary of Etotama!
    
    Looking back, I feel very nostalgic for the days I was rushing through life (laughs).
    
    I’m sure Moo-(tan’s love for Nyaa-)tan will be eternal ♡
    
    Forever love Etotama!”

• Tatsumi Yuiko (voice of Shima-tan):
  • “Congratulations on the 10th anniversary of Etotama!
    Etotama is a work in which I have participated in many things, such as voice recording, events, and streaming,
    so for me, it’s a work full of joy.
    
    Throughout these 10 years, Etotama has shown various developments. I sincerely hope that the day will come when we can meet the lively and noisy characters again.
    At that time,
    I will also strive daily to play Shima-tan, who will likely be even more powerful after 10 years.”

• Aisaka Yuuka (voice of Usa-tan):
  • “Congratulations on the 10th anniversary of Etotama!!
    
    The main broadcast, the whirlwind of events and live broadcasts,
    the live commentary streams on Nico Nico Douga… it’s already been 10 years!?!?
    It’s overwhelming information, but I am truly grateful to everyone who still loves Etotama.
    I would be happy if I had the opportunity to voice Usa-tan again. Whenever I voice Usa-tan, I feel like I become stronger, and it’s fun.
    
    I will always love everyone from Etotama.”

• Uchida Maaya (voice of Dora-tan):
  • “Congratulations on the 10th anniversary of Etotama!
    I’m Uchida Maaya, the voice of Dora-tan.
    
    I can still clearly remember the studio where we did the voice recording
    and the sight of my fellow cast members acting alongside me.
    There were so many characters, and it was so much fun.
    
    Thank you so much for supporting Etotama up until now! I would be happy if you continued to love Etotama in the future.
    
    Please continue to support us going forward!”

• Nabatame Hitomi (voice of Shaa-tan):
  • “Congratulations on the 10th anniversary!
    
    Every year, when the end of the year comes,
    I would think, ‘Next year is the year of XX-tan~,’ but I didn’t realize I’d been thinking that for 10 years… (laughs)
    
    Personally, I think 2025 will be the year of Shaa-tan, so I want to put everyone under my spell.
    
    Just kidding.”

• Ozawa Ari (voice of Uma-tan):
  • “Congratulations on the 10th anniversary of Etotama!
    
    The anime, music, and radio are always unique and filled with laughter. It’s cute and funny, and I still love it to this day!
    
    I still remember desperately recording Uma-tan’s episode when I was a newcomer and not yet used to dubbing.
    Nyatan’s power makes viewers feel happy and bright whenever and wherever they watch.
    For those who haven’t watched yet, I hope you take this opportunity to watch it.”

• Fuchigami Mai (voice of Mei-tan):
  • “Etotama‘s 10th anniversary!
    Congratulations!!!
    
    The time has passed so quickly… I am savouring the joy of being able to celebrate this. From the anime dubbing to recording character songs, live broadcasts, and events where I appeared in Mei-tan’s costume, this work is filled with many precious memories for me.
    
    I hope that more and more people will continue to enjoy it in the future ♡”

• Toda Megumi (voice of Kii-tan):
  • “Congratulations on the 10th anniversary of Etotama!
    I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since those fun days.
    Because I can still recall the memories of dubbing and live broadcasts as if they happened just yesterday!
    When you think it’s over, it rises again like a phoenix. Etotama keeps entertaining us, so I never feel lonely.
    Someday, they’ll do something again, right?!
    
    When that time comes,
    I believe Ki-Inu will have a turn, right…?
    I will always keep hoping for Ki-Inu’s moment in the spotlight!”

• Sasaki Mikoi (voice of Piyo-tan):
  • “I remember it well because I happened to be a toshi-onna (born in the same zodiac year), so the fact that it aired in the year of the sheep left a strong impression!
    The zodiac cycle is about to go around once already (laughs).
    
    I always went to the recording sessions feeling nervous about playing Piyo-tan, who’s cool but a little airheaded. Even so, the warm cast and staff, overflowing with love for Etotama, made for such fun times,
    and no matter if I take three steps or if ten years pass, I won’t forget them.
    
    Congratulations on the 10th anniversary of Etotama!”

• Honda Mariko (voice of Inu-tan):
  • “Etotama 10th anniversary…!! Congratulations!!
    I’m really happy too!!
    I’m Honda Mariko, the voice of Inu-tan!
    
    Although Etotama has been around for ten long years,
    even now, when I meet everyone, I feel like I can instantly return to being Inu-tan and naturally become part of Etotama again. It’s a work that gives me such a warm and welcoming place.
    At the start of each new year, I always think, ‘Whose year is it this time?’ This year is the Year of the Snake, so it’s Shaa-tan’s turn!
    
    I hope Etotama will continue to stay in everyone’s hearts!!”

• Hanamori Yumiri (voice of Uri-tan):
  • “Etotama 10th anniversary!
    Congratulations desu desu!
    
    Every time the years go by, I remember the noisy and fun times, sometimes a little lonely, but in the end, I think of everyone’s crazy antics and can’t help but smile. Also, something Uri-tan absolutely must not forget is sesame oil! Even now, I still welcome at least one good bottle of sesame oil every year, and that’s definitely because of her influence. The boar god is truly fearsome!
    
    Now, it’s just two more years until the zodiac completes a full cycle. When that happens, let’s make sure they add the year of the cat, too, Nyaa-tan!”

• Shimozuma Yoshiyuki (voice of Tenchou):
  • “Etotama 10th anniversary, congratulations!
    
    I am truly grateful for the opportunity to participate and for being able to play the unique and stimulating character of Tenchou! The lively recording site was always fun, but I remember that the interactions with Dōsojin-san during the ‘Takamagahara Memorial Maid Café Zodiac Manager Cup’ were the most exciting and enjoyable!
    
    I sincerely wish that Etotama will continue to be loved by many people!”

• Shimono Hiro (voice of Amato Takeru):
  • “Etotama 10th anniversary, congratulations!!
    
    Has it really been 10 years since Etotama aired…? I can feel how fast time flies!
    With things like Onsen King appearing and all those borderline jokes packed in… it was seriously so much fun!!
    It may be difficult,
    but since it’s the 10th anniversary, it would be great if we could all gather again somehow!
    I’m looking forward to the day that happens!!
    
    Once again, congratulations!!”

• Suzuki Aina (voice of Na-tan):
  • “Etotama anime broadcast 10th anniversary! Congratulations!
    
    I became involved with Etotama starting from ‘Nyankyaku Banrai,’ so I participated a little later. Still, I was truly grateful and happy to be able to be deeply involved in the work as Na-tan.
    At the same time, in ‘Nyankyaku Banrai,’ I was in charge of the opening theme song ‘Etonyanran’, and I was happy to be able to express the world of Etotama through singing. 20 years, 30 years, and beyond! I look forward to supporting and cheering for future developments! I hope we see Nyaa-tan and the others moving in the anime again!”

About Etotama:
Every 60 years, the heavens conduct a sacred ritual called ETM12. This custom involves selecting worthy Eto-musume, celestial beings representing different animals, to become one of the members of the Chinese zodiac, or Eto-shin. However, since the first ETM12 two thousand years ago, the original batch of Eto-shin reigns, and no one has been able to replace them.
Nyaa-tan is a cat Eto-musume who aspires to become a zodiac member in the ongoing ETM12. Fulfilling her ambition requires her to secure 12 seals, one for each Eto-shin. To that end, she must win various battles using Sol/Lull, divine energy created by people’s positive emotions. This task is not easy, however, as her powers as an Eto-musume are far below the abilities of a single Eto-shin. As such, she needs a constant source of energy.
But in a chance encounter, Nyaa-tan meets Takeru Amato, a man who has just transferred to the apartment where she is secretly staying. To Nyaa-tan’s delight, Takeru discovers that he gives out high-quality Sol/Lull, which sets him apart from most people. With this, the story of Takeru and Nyaa-tan begins. As Takeru supports Nyaa-tan in her dreams, he meets the Eto-shin and begins to uncover a mysterious past.
