ACTION-COMEDY ANIME "ROOSTER FIGHTER" TO DRAW BLOOD AND RUFFLE FEATHERS ON ADULT SWIM MARCH 14
BURBANK (February 4, 2026) - One cock to save the world. Adult Swim will premiere new series "Rooster Fighter" the evening of Saturday, March 14 at midnight ET/PT, as part of its Toonami anime/action block.
The adaptation of Shu Sakuratani's manga "Rooster Fighter" follows "cock-about town" Keiji. More than just an ordinary rooster - he's humanity's greatest defender! When strange creatures suddenly appear and start attacking, he confronts them head-on while scoffing: "You make my crown curl!" His opponents may be ten stories tall, but nothing is bigger than his stout heart and his fearsome battle cry - Kokekokko!
"'Rooster Fighter' is the kind of show that immediately answers the question 'yes, but what if a rooster did it?' and then never looks back," said Michael Ouweleen, president, Adult Swim. "It's ridiculous, wildly sincere, and packed with talon-powered action."
Adult Swim will air the 12-episode series in English every Saturday evening at midnight beginning March 14.
"Rooster Fighter" is produced for Adult Swim by VIZ and HERO's INC, in association with SOLA Entertainment and SANZIGEN.
