The key facts about Kosuke vs. Germany at a glance. For interviews and enquiries, just send me an email.
The series in brief
On his first trip to Japan, Andreas is sitting at a bus stop in Nara when a Japanese man named Kosuke starts talking to him. Kosuke dreams of seeing Germany one day – above all Neuschwanstein Castle. Andreas shares the encounter on TikTok, and 179 people donate a total of €3,195 for Kosuke’s trip.
In summer 2025, the two travel through 14 German cities in ten days. The result is Kosuke vs. Germany: a travel series in 21 episodes, filmed entirely from a first-person perspective and told like an anime – with arcs, cliffhangers, collectible cards and a quiz against “Team Germany”, in which the community votes on Instagram.
