• “Rooster Fighter” is finally getting an anime adaptation! There’s 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 thus far, and to everyone at HERO'S and VIZ Media who has 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 writer, the best production team and the best voice actors all working together to create the best work possible. As the original author, I couldn't be happier. I can't wait to see Keiji and the others making their move on TV. I hope everyone can enjoy this anime where roosters are the heroes.

Fighting Cock Synopsis

The story takes us to 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 major problem. These mutant demons are created from humans who suffer 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 several cities in Japan, defeating the mutant demons he encounters along the way. His ultimate goal is to find and kill the demon known as “The White Demon,” who murdered his sister, in order to avenge her death.
