About Hypnosis Mic -Division Rap Battle-
Hypnosis Mic is a music character rap project that launched in September 2017. Eighteen main characters are divided into six divisions — Ikebukuro, Yokohama, Shibuya, Shinjuku, Osaka, and Nagoya — and face off in rap battles. Real-world hip-hop artists and track producers contribute the music, while voice actors bring each character's story to life through rap performance.
The franchise has expanded into comics, a mobile game, stage shows, and anime. In February 2025, the first Hypnosis Mic movie was released as Japan's first interactive film, achieving a box office gross of 2.8 billion yen (as of April 2026). The film's Blu-ray is set to go on sale on May 13 (Wed).
