The Rooster Fighter creator, Shu Sakuratani, left a comment regarding the anime announcement:
“Rooster Fighter” is finally being made into an anime! Ever since becoming a manga artist, my biggest goal was to have my work adapted into an anime. So, I can’t tell you how happy I am to see my dream come true!
This is all thanks to my readers’ continued support and Hero’s and VIZ Media’s contributions. I extend my gratitude to all of you.
I believe “Rooster Fighter” is very blessed. We have the best director, the best writer, the best production staff, and the best voice actors all working together to create the best anime.
As the original creator, I am ecstatic! I can’t wait to see Keiji and the gang come to life on TV. I hope that everyone out there will enjoy this anime where chickens take center stage!”
Shu Sakuratani writes and illustrates the web manga, and it originally started on Hero’s Inc.’s Comiplex back in December 2020. VIZ Media licensed the manga in English, describing the story:
Keiji is more than just an ordinary rooster—he’s humanity’s greatest defender! His opponents may be ten stories tall, but nothing is bigger than his stout heart and his fearsome battle cry—Kokekokko!
Anime Corner had the chance for a short interview Shu Sakuratani back in 2022, where he told us a bit about his the inspiration behind Rooster Fighter.
