Crunchyroll reveals CCXP26 lineup led by Kagurabachi
Published on · Updated on
Crunchyroll confirms a Black Clover, Kagurabachi and Witch Hat Atelier booth at CCXP26, along with its Dubbing Studio and early anime screenings.
Crunchyroll confirmed on Wednesday (11) its full lineup for CCXP26, which takes place December 3–6 at the São Paulo Expo in Brazil. The anime streaming platform will bring a booth inspired by Black Clover, Kagurabachi and Witch Hat Atelier, the return of its Dubbing Studio, meet-and-greets with Brazilian voice actors and an early screening of Kagurabachi's first episode dubbed in Portuguese on December 6.
The announcement was published on the platform's official news channel and corroborated by outlets such as IGN Brasil, Omelete and O Vício. Crunchyroll also revealed that, for the third consecutive year, it is designing the event's official credentials, this time inspired by the Elbaph arc of One Piece.
Booth bets on sets, technology and interactivity
The Crunchyroll space at CCXP26 is built as a series of immersive scenes. In Black Clover, visitors enter a castle and take part in an activity involving grimoires and elemental magic, a direct reference to the power system in Yuki Tabata's manga.
Kagurabachi, in turn, will feature a 4.5-meter-tall katana as a photo backdrop. The installation will be one of the first chances for Brazilian fans to interact with the franchise in person before its animated adaptation premieres in April 2027.
In Witch Hat Atelier, the idea is to turn visitors into magic apprentices: they draw a spell and watch the creation come to life through interactive resources. The experience echoes Kamome Shirahama's manga, in which magic depends on precise drawings and a technical understanding of magical circles.
Those who take part in the activities collect tokens that can be exchanged for giveaways such as pins, stickers and Crunchyroll tote bags. The company also announced Witch Hat Atelier-themed hats and Black Clover pins, but did not detail how many items will be available or the full distribution criteria.
Dubbing Studio returns after drawing 1,200 people
One of the most popular attractions of the previous edition, the Dubbing Studio returns in 2026 in partnership with DuBrasil. At CCXP25, the activity welcomed around 1,200 participants, according to Crunchyroll. This year it will offer more characters and titles.
Visitors will be able to pick anime scenes and perform the characters with their own voices, guided by professional voice actors. Confirmed titles include Attack on Titan, BLACK TORCH, Solo Leveling and Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, among others that will make up the scene catalog.
The new feature is a training opportunity: standout participants over the weekend may be selected for a masterclass with DuBrasil professionals, introducing the techniques used in professional dubbing. The initiative covers acting, dialogue synchronization and adapting to the pace of each scene.
Kagurabachi gets a dubbed preview on the Blast stage
The headline stage event is the Kagurabachi screening scheduled for Sunday, December 6, at 4:15 pm, on the Blast stage. Crunchyroll will show the anime's first episode dubbed in Portuguese as part of the world tour that brings the premiere to different events before the streaming launch.
The series adapts Takeru Hokazono's manga, serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump since September 2023. The story follows Chihiro Rokuhira, son of a swordsmith who forges enchanted blades, on a revenge journey against the sorcerers who murdered his father. The anime is produced by studio CyPic, directed by Tetsuya Takeuchi with character designs by Keigo Sasaki. Chihiro is voiced by Taihi Kimura in the Japanese version.
Crunchyroll Show and special screenings
The schedule opens on Friday, December 4, with special screenings on the Blast stage starting at 1 pm. Among the highlights is The Guy I'm Into Isn't a Guy?!, also known as KiniOto, scheduled for 1:30 pm. The anime is set to premiere on Crunchyroll during the January 2027 season.
On Sunday at 2:15 pm, the Thunder stage hosts the Crunchyroll Show, hosted by Nyvi Estephan. The panel will bring together guests and content tied to the platform's anime, but the company has not yet revealed the participants or the announcements planned.

Brazilian voice actors meet fans
Beyond the experiences and panels, Crunchyroll will host meet & greet sessions with professionals behind the Brazilian versions of several anime. Confirmed names include Lucas Almeida, the voice of Eren in Attack on Titan and Tamaki Amajiki in My Hero Academia, and Jacque Souza, who voices Frieren in Portuguese.
The list also features Nestor Chiesse, Hermes Baroli, Gilberto Baroli, Luiz Carlos Persy, Felipe Grinnan, Charles Emmanuel, Agatha Paulita and Nina Carvalho. Organizers have not announced individual times, participation rules or availability, which are expected to be detailed in the weeks before the event.
Why CCXP matters to Crunchyroll in Brazil
The CCXP presence has become one of Crunchyroll's main actions on the Brazilian calendar. For anime fans, the event works as an early showcase for releases and as a rare chance to meet voice actors and production teams in person.
"CCXP is one of the most important moments for Crunchyroll in Brazil. Our booth is designed so that fans can find some of their favorite stories there and also live them through the experiences available in our space."
The executive also highlighted the return of the Dubbing Studio, which he said was driven by the activity's popularity among fans. "Both the studio and the other activations reinforce our commitment to the fandom, giving our audience an experience that goes beyond the screen," he said.
The expectation is that CCXP26 will also build momentum for the April 2027 season, when Kagurabachi joins the catalog. In the meantime, Brazilian viewers can catch up on other genre releases already on the platform, as shown by our coverage of the full One Piece catalog and the arrival of Mashle in January.
Service information and what to expect
CCXP26 runs from December 3 to 6, 2026, at São Paulo Expo, on Rodovia dos Imigrantes, km 1.5.

On the other days, opening hours are 12 pm to 9 pm (Thursday and Friday), 11 am to 9 pm (Saturday) and 11 am to 8 pm (Sunday).
