help Ya Boy Kongming! FAQ

Why does Zhuge Kongming wake up in Shibuya instead of a fantasy world?

Ya Boy Kongming! is a reverse-isekai comedy: the Three Kingdoms strategist Zhuge Liang, better known as Kongming, dies after Wuzhang Plains and wakes up in modern Shibuya. The joke is that he applies battlefield tactics to club promotion and Eiko Tsukimi's music career instead of to another war.

Is Eiko Tsukimi the real main character, or is Kongming?

Kongming drives the schemes, but Eiko's goal of becoming a singer is the emotional spine of the 2022 anime. Much of the plot follows her performing at BB Lounge, chasing the Summer Sonia festival, and facing rivals such as Azalea.

Who made the Ya Boy Kongming! anime and where did it stream?

The TV anime was produced by P.A. Works and aired in 2022 with 12 episodes. Sentai Filmworks licensed it outside Asia, and HIDIVE carried the English streaming release.

Is Chikichiki Banban an original song from the anime?

No. The opening theme, performed by Queendom, is a Japanese cover of the Hungarian party song Bulikiraly, known in Japan as Chikichiki Banban.
