■ Introduction

One day, a high school student who was raised by his grandfather as a descendant of a ninja and has the ability to talk to animals, one day he meets a black cat, Rataku, who is wounded and collapses in the forest.

At first glance, it was Rataku who looked like a black cat, but…
Its true identity was a legendary monster that was once called “Black Star”! ?

The shadow of a monster who creeps up to take advantage of the mighty power of Radaku…
And the intervention of the government’s secret organization, “Gonggi Secret Station,” which monitors and eliminates monsters.

What is the “preparedness” that Niro and Rata show, as various speculations about the power of Ratai swirl?! ?

The “Shinobi” battle, which begins with the encounter between a monster and a boy, begins here! ! !

■Teaser visual

The visuals of Niro in a covert dress and the buddy of Ratasu on his shoulder have been released.
What is the identity of the black shadow reflected in the building? ?

The teaser PV has been released!

Celebrate! “BLACK TOCH” animation! ! !

Probably the most surprised me in the world.
This is all thanks to everyone who loved the original work, both domestically and internationally.

As for the production, I have also thoroughly supervised the setting and storyboards.
While respecting the original as much as possible, I think it has been reconstructed in a better way as an anime.

A new “BLACK TORCH” with a voice that was not in the original, sounds, movements, and color.
There are battles, cats, and thighs!
Please look forward to it! !
