- “Rooster
Fighter” is finally being adapted into an anime! There is nothing that
makes me happier. The anime
adaptation has been a dream and a big goal since I became a mangaka. This
is thanks to all the readers who have supported us so far, and to everyone
at HERO'S and VIZ Media who have been involved in this work. I am deeply
grateful. I think “Rooster Fighter” is a very lucky work. We have
the best director, the best screenwriter, the best production team and the
best voice actors, all working together to create the best work
possible. As an original author, I couldn't be happier. I can't
wait to see Keiji and the others move on TV. I hope everyone can
enjoy this anime where the roosters are the heroes.

Rooster Fighter Synopsis
The story transports us to a Japan
where, three years ago, mutant demons began to appear. While some of these
demons are harmless or even beneficial to humans, others pose a big problem.
These mutant demons are created from humans suffering from extreme emotional
stress or unresolved trauma, and have begun to evolve becoming more intelligent
and dangerous. In the midst of this chaos, a lone rooster named Keiji travels
through various cities in Japan, defeating the mutant demons he encounters in
his path. His ultimate goal is to find and kill the demon known as “The White
Demon,” who murdered his sister, to avenge his death.
