Paris ni Saku Étoile,[a] also known as L'étoile de Paris en fleur,[1] is an upcoming Japanese original anime film directed by Gorō Taniguchi and produced by Arvo Animation. It is written by Reiko Yoshida, features character designs by Yū Yamashita based on Katsuya Kondō's original designs, and music by Takayuki Hattori. It is scheduled to premiere in Japan on March 13, 2026, distributed by Shochiku.[2][3][4]

Plot

The series is set in Paris during the early 1900s and follows two Japanese girls, Fujiko Tsugita and Chizuru. Fujiko aims to be a painter, while Chizuru is an aspiring ballerina. After meeting in Yokohama, the two meet again in Paris.

Characters

Fujiko Tsugita (継田 フジコ, Tsugita Fujiko)
Voiced by: Ami Touma[4]
Chizuru (千鶴)

Production

The film was produced as an independent film during the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan. Taniguchi chose Toma to play Fujiko because he wanted a character with a pure and charming voice. The film had been in production since at least 2018, when Kondō was approached by Karki Rajeev, Arvo Animation's representative director, to produce character designs for a film the studio was working on. Kondō initially declined the offer, only to accept after Rajeev insisted on at least doing some art.[3]
