Fans of Ranma ½ have something delicious to look forward to: the TV anime has announced its first-ever collaboration with Ichikakuya (壱角家), a popular Yokohama-style ramen chain in Japan. The event runs from October 16 to November 23, 2026, featuring limited-edition ramen dishes, drinks, and original merchandise.

About Ranma ½

Ranma ½ is a martial-arts romantic comedy manga by Rumiko Takahashi — the creator behind Urusei Yatsura, Maison Ikkoku, Inuyasha, Kyōkai no RINNE, and MAO. It ran in Weekly Shōnen Sunday from issue 36 of 1987 through issue 12 of 1996, and remains enormously popular to this day.

The story begins when Genma Saotome, a martial-arts master, arrives at the Tendo household with his son Ranma — except the two show up as a giant panda and a cute girl, respectively. Ranma’s training in China left him with a peculiar condition: cold water transforms him into a girl, while hot water restores his male form. The series follows Ranma and a colorful cast of characters through laughter, tears, and the occasional bout of romance.

All 115 Ichikakuya locations will serve two collab items throughout the event period:
