Synopsis
Kitarou's birth is something everyone seems to know but not understand. This movie will approach the hidden mystery of Kitarou's birth.
Mizuki began the supernatural manga under the title Hakaba Kitaro (Graveyard Kitaro) and published 15 volumes between 1959 and 1964. Retitled as GeGeGe no Kitarou, the manga ran in Weekly Shounen Jump from 1965 to 1986. Drawn & Quarterly has been publishing the manga in English since May 2016.
Toei Animation produced multiple television anime adaptations and anime movies over the years. The sixth and latest installment in the franchise aired in Spring 2018 for 97 episodes.
Miyuki Sawashiro (Tokyo Magnitude 8.0) and Masako Nozawa (Ginga Tetsudou 999), who starred in the 2018 GeGeGe no Kitarou anime as Kitarou and Medama Oyaji, respectively, will reprise their roles in the film.

I really loved Kitarou 2018. It's my first Kitarou series. It sucks that we have to wait for a decade for a renewal. But at least we have this movie!
