Sakuratani's statement


Shu Sakuratani also made a statement to Viz about this upcoming anime. It reads:

“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 contribution. 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!”
