Sushiro’s Mysterious Illustration on X Sparks Buzz: ‘Only Eguchi Takuya Could Draw This!’ – Anticipation Grows for Collaboration with His Character

Sushiro, the conveyor belt sushi chain, suddenly released a mysterious hand-drawn illustration on its official X account on May 11, 2026. The post, accompanied only by the text “！？！？！？”, shows a video slowly zooming in on a red-background illustration.

The illustration appears to be a bird-like creature wearing glasses, with the strange feature of having two beaks. It also looks like it is wearing a Sushiro uniform.

While only the illustration has been revealed so far, with no mention of who drew it or what content collaboration it might be for, netizens are buzzing with speculation that voice actor Eguchi Takuya is involved.

Eguchi Takuya is a voice actor known for roles in popular anime such as Spy x Family (Loid Forger), Mashle (Dot Barrett), and Tokyo Revengers (Semi Shuji). He is famous among fans as a “painter” (gahaku) for his unique art style, which even led to the creation of an anime series Egumi Legacy composed of his own character designs. An illustration he drew of a Spy x Family character has received over 12.84 million views.

Many netizens speculate that the illustration is of “Otamayo-kun,” a character from the “Otaku no Series” of condiments created by cooking researcher Ryuji and voice actor Yasumoto Hiroki, who is also known for his love of cooking.

Online, comments have been flooding in with expectations of a collaboration with the “Otaku no Series.” Examples include: “There’s no one else who draws like this but Eguchi Takuya,” “Otamayo-kun is a sushi chef!,” “Maybe it’s Otamayo-kun, I’m looking forward to it,” “I’m dead lol,” “I was so surprised I let out a cry,” “It can only be Eguchi,” and “The approaching eyes of Otamayo-kun.”

We await further news on the truth behind the collaboration.
