The official website for the new TV anime adaptation of Natsuki Takaya's Fruits Basket manga has released the character art for Kyoko and Katsuya in the series' compilation film, "Fruits Basket -prelude-."
The film will include the prequel telling Tohru's parent's story, "Kyо̄ko to Katsuya no Monogatari (Kyо̄ko and Katsuya's Story)," as well as new scenes written specifically for the film by Natsuki Takaya that will show events that happened to Kyo and Tohru after the TV anime's story.

But she quickly learns their family has a bizarre secret of their own: when hugged by the opposite sex, they turn into the animals of the Zodiac!
It's also been announced that Ōhashi Trio will be performing the film's theme song titled, "Niji to Kaito" (Rainbow and Kite).
