Rapper Kamui is active as a host and commentator on Japanese hip-hop, with a new streaming channel RAF Studio and a regular ABEMA show, while also being the subject of an erotic horror anime adaptation premiering in July 2026.
Rapper Kamui has expanded his presence in Japanese hip-hop media through two new projects launched in mid-2026. On May 29, he began hosting his first regular television program, "Kamui's HYPE THE HOPE," on ABEMA, co-hosted by VTuber and rapper Peanuts-kun and streamer Poser Shiraishi. The show features live commentary and analysis of hip-hop music videos, with the trio stopping videos at points of interest to discuss direction, lyrics, and cultural context. Kamui said he initially doubted a direct message from ABEMA president Fujita about the show, and that he considers the program the last one Fujita created during his presidency.
On June 28, Kamui and Poser Shiraishi launched RAF Studio, a streaming channel on Twitch and YouTube that reacts to new hip-hop releases, hosts talk and music production sessions with rappers, and provides commentary on the RAPSTAR audition project. The channel began after a collaborative stream in June 2025 and has grown to include the ABEMA show. To coincide with the ABEMA announcement, Kamui released a new song "Usagi to Kame" on May 25, with a music video premiering on May 28.
Separately, the television anime adaptation of the erotic horror manga KAMUI: He's Behind You, which shares the rapper's name, will premiere on July 3 on Tokyo MX. The series is produced by WWWave Corporation's Deregula anime label and animated by studios Zero-G and ZG-R. Takumi Tsukumo directs, with series scripts by Motofumi Nakajō and character designs by Toshinari Yamashita. The cast includes Tomokazu Sugita as Kamui. The anime will be released in three censorship tiers: a censored version, a less censored version, and an uncensored version. The manga, by Eroki and Shinko Konoshiro, began serialization in March 2020 on Shogakukan's Manga ONE app.
