A brand-new Dragon Maid movie is set to release in Japan this June.
While fans in Japan will soon enjoy the latest adventures of Tohru and friends, it’s the perfect time for the rest of us to revisit the real MVP of the series:
Kanna Kamui.
She’s small. Sleepy. Electric horns. A deadpan stare. And without a doubt, one of the cutest dragons in anime history.
🐉 Who Is Kanna?
Kanna Kamui is a young dragon exiled from her world for playing too many pranks. She ends up in the human world and becomes part of Miss Kobayashi’s household.
She rarely smiles, barely talks, and yet she’s full of curiosity, gentle emotion, and the occasional touch of chaos. She loves snacks, naps, and following Tohru around like a loyal companion.
What makes her truly special is the contrast between her ancient dragon powers and her childlike innocence. A divine being… who needs to be tucked in with her favorite blanket.
💖 Why Fans Adore Her
Yes, she’s adorable. Her chibi design, puffy tail, and tiny voice win hearts instantly.
But beyond looks, Kanna brings balance to the show’s wild comedy.
She’s the calm, the heart, the silent observer who makes every moment feel warmer.
Her friendship with Saikawa is pure, and her quiet gestures — a blink, a glance, a whispered “yeah” — can say more than words.
She speaks softly, but her presence is unforgettable.
🎬 Kanna’s Role in the Anime
“Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid” (2017) was animated by Kyoto Animation and became a beloved hit for its perfect blend of slice-of-life charm, absurd humor, and emotional depth.
Kanna quickly became a fan favorite. Whether it was falling asleep in class or dominating the sports festival, her scenes became instant classics.
📢 A New Movie Is Coming in June 2025
In June 2025, Japan will see the theatrical release of “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid S: The Lonely Dragon” (Japanese title: 小林さんちのメイドラゴンS さみしがりやの竜).
There’s no official word yet on international distribution, but the movie promises a return to the warm, hilarious, and heartfelt world of Tohru, Kanna, and their found family.
And yes, Kanna is still absolutely precious.
💬 From the Pulse: “No matter how chaotic the world gets, Kanna reminds us to slow down, take a nap, and hold close the ones we love.”
