Netflix announced on July 22, 2026, that it is developing a new live-action series titled "Parasyte: Tamiya," based on Hitoshi Iwaaki's manga "Parasyte." The series centers on the character Ryoko Tamiya, a parasite who takes over a high school teacher's body and later questions coexistence with humans. Shioli Kutsuna stars as Tamiya, with Yeon Sang-ho (director of 2024's "Parasyte: The Grey") serving as planner and co-writer alongside Ryu Yong-jae. Kensaku Kakimoto and Kazuhiro Nakagawa are directing. Production company WOWPOINT returns to develop and produce the series, with Episcope handling production. Filming has already wrapped after a six-month shoot. The series will stream globally on Netflix in 2027. Kutsuna described the role as the most challenging of her career. Yeon Sang-ho praised her performance, saying she "perfectly portrayed the process of a non-human entity understanding humans and its own existence." The original manga, serialized from 1988 to 1995, has sold over 25 million copies worldwide. This is the second live-action adaptation from Yeon Sang-ho, following "Parasyte: The Grey" in 2024.
Tamiya is re-releasing the 1/10 RC NISSAN R91CP electric RC car assembly kit, a model of the 1991 JSPC champion machine. The kit features a polycarbonate body, driver figure, cockpit parts, and a direct drive 2WD chassis. It is scheduled for release on August 22, 2026, for 24,200 yen.
