The second live-action film in the Mr. Osomatsu (Osomatsu-san) franchise delayed its January 9 release due to various circumstances and after consulting with involved parties. The film has been rescheduled for June 12.
Tokyo Metropolitan Police arrested Jushimatsu's actor and former Japanese boy band Ae! Group member Keita Richard Kusama on October 4 on suspicion of indecent exposure.

The fourth season of the anime premiered on television on July 8.
The Mr. Osomatsu television anime was inspired by Fujio Akatsuka's original Osomatsu-kun manga and "high tension comedy" TV anime, which centers on the Matsuno household with six naughty and mischievous sons (who are sextuplets). All of the sextuplets, including the eldest Osomatsu, are all in love with the same girl, Totoko. The original Osomatsu-kun series followed the family when the sons were 10 years old. Mr. Osomatsu re-imagines the original manga and TV anime with the sextuplets as adults.
The first three Mr. Osomatsu anime seasons premiered in 2015, 2017, and 2020. The Eiga no Osomatsu-san film debuted in 2019. The franchise also includes various anime shorts and two sixth-anniversary anime films.
