Yume Miyamoto is cast as Red Riding Hood in the 2027 television anime Red Riding Hood: A Detective Story and as Akari Yokoyama in the Hirayasumi anime, which premieres in January 2027 on NHK General.
Yume Miyamoto's announced roles sit in two different corners of the 2027 calendar. In Red Riding Hood: A Detective Story, announced in August 2026, she voices the title character, a girl who travels a fairy-tale world solving crimes with her mind. Akira Sekine voices Pinocchio opposite her. The television anime adapts Aito Aoyagi's novel, published by Futabasha in August 2020, and comes from director and screenwriter Itsuro Kawasaki at BENTEN Film, with character designs by Manami Minakata and Yuko Yahiro.
Two months later, Hirayasumi added Miyamoto to its supporting ensemble as Akari Yokoyama, one of five cast members announced together. The series premieres in January 2027 in Japan on NHK General, with Viz Media handling an English release in 2027. Daisuke Namikawa, Yoko Hikasa, Yuichiro Umehara, and television announcer Yuko Naito round out the group, Naito as narrator. The two projects put her in a fantasy mystery and a slice-of-life ensemble in the same year.
The RD Remote Detective story places her name among a cast that includes Shion Wakayama, Koki Uchiyama, and Ryohei Kimura, though it gives her no named role. The game appears at Tokyo Game Show 2026, held September 17 to 21, at the Konami booth in Hall 5 with a talk and live commentary from original author and supervisor Takehiko Abiko, and at the Zakuzaku Game booth in Hall 9. Across the three stories, her announced work spans a leading anime role, a supporting anime role, and an unnamed part in a mystery game.

A television anime adaptation of Aito Aoyagi's novel Red Riding Hood: A Detective Story, also known as Little Red Riding Hood Encounters a Dead Body During Her Journey, was announced on Monday via a new official website.

Itsurō Kawasaki, known for Baban Baban Ban Vampire, directs and writes the script at BENTEN Film. Manami Minakata and Yūko Yahiro design the characters. The story follows Red Riding Hood as she travels through a fairy-tale world, solving crimes with her clever mind. The teaser trailer includes the line, "Why is your criminal plan so sloppy?"

The franchise has also been adapted into a live-action Netflix film titled Once Upon a Crime.
