Sanda (stylized in all caps) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Paru Itagaki. It was serialized in Akita Shoten's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Champion from July 2021 to July 2024, with its chapters collected in 16 tankōbon volumes. The story takes place in the future Japan, where the birth rate in the country has been rapidly declining. Kazushige Sanda is found to be the descendant of Santa Claus by his classmate, Shiori Fuyumura. Together, they attempt to find Fuyumura's missing classmate, Ichie Ono. Itagaki created the series based on her idea to write human characters, as her previous work, Beastars, primarily focused on animals. She was also interested in the figure of Santa Claus. An anime television series adaptation produced by Science Saru aired from October to December 2025. The manga has been well received by critics for its premise and themes involving the cast. The anime adaptation received similar attention, with praise focused on Science Saru's animation, fight scenes, and visuals.
