So if you have a guess about this character, you better make it now. There are only a few characters who can outdo Power and Makima when it comes to popularity. If you guessed Yoshida, you are right, and Manabu Otsuka is eager for the character to pop up in an upcoming PV.
The comment comes from the CEO himself as Otsuka appeared at Crunchyroll Expo to hype all things Chainsaw Man. It was there the producer was asked which characters he’s most excited to see on the screen. It turns out Yoshida Hirofumi is high on that list, and they will show up before long.
