At the VIZ Media panel, thrilling news was unveiled that “Rooster Fighter,” everyone’s favorite cock created by Shu Sakuratani, is now in production for an anime adaptation. The story follows Keiji, a rooster with superhuman strength, as he defends the world from giant monsters known as “Demons.” With its high-octane action and comedic scenes, “Rooster Fighter” is one mother-clucker who delivers a showstopper. The series broadcast partner will be Adult Swim, with additional streaming partners to be announced.
The agreement establishes VIZ Media as the representative for worldwide streaming, TV, and EST, as well as Home Video (HV) and Merchandising outside of Japan. Meanwhile, HERO's INC. will manage EST, plus Home Video (HV) and Merchandising within Japan. Guaranteed to elicit deeper laughs than any upcoming comedy anime, "Rooster Fighter" is bizarre, absurd, and proudly boundary-blurring.
Director Daisuke Suzuki remarked:
“Are you serious?! That was honestly my first thought when I was approached about adapting “Rooster Fighter” into an anime. No matter how you look at it, the main character is just a chicken...even though he has a steely look on his face. And this chicken fights monsters for the sake of the entire world. Would anyone be interested in this? I shook my head because I’d never been interested in chickens...except to eat them. Can I actually direct this? With trepidation, I picked up the original manga. A few hours later, I couldn't hold back my tears. W-what a passionate story about a rooster (man)! I can do it, I can definitely do this!!
Creator Shu Sakuratani said:
”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.
