About Me and the Alien MuMu
A cat-like alien from a distant galaxy, MuMu, arrives on Earth. His goal is to learn about home appliance technology on Earth to recover the technology his species has lost. The protagonist, Sakurako, has a typical university life, but everything changes with MuMu’s arrival! What begins as an unexpected cohabitation quickly turns into a whirlwind of chaotic events. The chemistry between Sakurako and MuMu leads to a super-spectacular, appliance-filled, and cat comedy adventure.

Ohhh… wait, what? A cat? Huh? The cat talks? That sounds interesting… lol What a naughty kitty… or is it? Actually, it’s kinda cute. No, I can’t stay mad at it. That’s Decimaru for you, lol. What’s MuMu and Decimaru’s goal…? We’re having a blast making this, learning about home appliances while working on the show. Get ready for a fun, heartwarming, and cute series!
Yasuyuki Kase
Hi, I’m Gakuto Kajiwara, and I’ll be voicing Akihiro Tsurumi! This show has been such a blast to work on. From the dubbing sessions, we’ve all been laughing together at the cast’s performances and the story. MuMu, Decimaru, and all the cats that show up are just so healing… I find myself loving them just like Akihiro does, haha. I hope you all enjoy this charming story as much as we do!
Gakuto Kajiwara
“I’m so happy it’s finally been announced! When I first heard I’d be playing Samezu, I thought, ‘Huh? Me, playing such a high-and-mighty character?’ I was honestly a bit confused, haha. She’s all about Akihiro♡, so she’s really not a fan of Sakurako. She’s super proud and loves ‘dark places,’ a very modern girl, but deep down, she’s not a bad person. She’s also not totally disconnected from home appliances… I hope she adds a nice little spice to the story! This show is a super unique mix of ‘cats x school life x home appliances’! It’s so fresh and new! It’s a hybrid of fun home appliance learning and healing vibes, haha. I hope you’re all excited for the show when it airs♡”

Man, this is always so much fun. I can’t stop laughing every time we record. Wataru Tenkubashi is the president of the university club and his age is totally unknown. He’s a weird, over-the-top character, so I’m always a little worried about whether I’m crossing any lines with him, but I’m having a blast playing him. He has a sharp tongue and a twisted personality, but deep down, he’s actually a kind-hearted guy, so please watch over him with warmth!
Hidenobu Kiuchi
Hi, I’m Kentaro Kumagai, and I’ll be voicing Tamotsui Rokugo. Rokugo is an ordinary guy who often gets caught up with all these quirky people. I’m having a lot of fun playing him, keeping it cheerful and energetic! So, what exactly is the cute cat MuMu? Well, it’s an alien, as the title says! This is a show where you can learn, laugh, and sometimes feel your heart warmed. I hope you enjoy it!
Kentaro Kumagai
Me and the Alien MuMu is this totally unpredictable mix of super-spectacular sci-fi, home appliances, and cat comedy, but it’s so perfectly funny! Thanks to the little home appliance tips I learned from MuMu, I was able to get a great deal on a new washing machine! We use home appliances every day without thinking much about them, but when you dive deeper, there are so many fun new discoveries to be made. After watching MuMu, you might find yourself becoming a home appliance expert, and you’ll probably want to tell someone all about it! Come join us and enjoy the unique world of Alien MuMu!
