The Scooby-Doo franchise is expanding with the new anime series Yokoso Scooby-Doo, a Tubi Original set in Japan. Two franchise stars will voice their characters for the series: Frank Welker as Scooby-Doo and Matthew Lillard as Shaggy.

In the series, while visiting Japan on the ultimate foodie adventure, Scooby-Doo and Shaggy unwittingly unleash hundreds of mythical monsters that are causing trouble across the country. With the help of Scooby’s uncle, Daisuke-Doo, along with new friends, a magical girl Yume, and gadget whiz Takumi, the group embarks on an all-new mystery filled with monster chasing and fun chaos. 

“Scooby-Doo is one of the most beloved franchises in entertainment, and Yokoso Scooby-Doo lets us reinvent it in a way fans haven’t seen before,” shared Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer at Tubi. “By bringing Scooby and Shaggy into a bold anime world set in Japan, we’re connecting with global fandoms and delivering the kind of fun, chaotic mystery that travels across generations. As we grow our animation slate, this is exactly our brand of fan-first storytelling—familiar, surprising, and unmistakably Tubi.”

Yokoso Scooby-Doo! is produced by Warner Bros. Animation with production services provided by OLM in Japan. The series will be directed by Itsuro Kawasaki with Francisco Paredes serving as co-Producer.

Welker has been part of the Scooby-Doo family since 1969, when he voiced Fred Jones in Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! He continued voicing Fred and other characters until 2002’s A Scooby-Doo! Christmas, when he first voiced Scooby-Doo. That same year, Lillard debuted as Shaggy in the live-action film Scooby-Doo, a role he has continued to play on-screen both in live-action projects and as a voice actor.
