The character sheet for Toshio Furukawa’s role in the upcoming Birth of Kitaro movie has been revealed 💛🩶

Although the staff play coy by describing him merely as ‘a mysterious boy’, this is no doubt a younger Ratman! It’s possible Kitaro won’t learn his name during the movie events however, and thus the mystery. Very curious to see how involved he’ll be! Kitaro has had quite a long past with him after all.

They’ve made some tweaks to his design here which interest me - it’s probably in an effort to give him a more youthful look, but his head isn’t as egg-shaped, and his ears far less pointed.

This supports a pet theory I’ve had based on the 2018 series, which is:

Hanyou predominantly start off looking human-ish, and become progressively more youkai-like as time passes.

Basically, I figure their human cells would die off and be replaced by the youkai portion that continues to persist.

Is this to explain why I draw Reiji with rounded human ears?? Maybe!!! But I also appreciate good lore expansion.

There’s this Gegege no Kitarō commercial where Nezumi Otoko does a similar face and it’s equally as jarring on him. Hold on, lemme try to find it

Recently, I watched the 2018 anime "Gegege no Kitarou" because I like legends and creatures especially their cartoon and anime adaptations. It was out of curiosity and by chance that I started reading scans of the manga of the same name. Honestly, both manga and anime are good, and I'll be watching the other adaptations. I have chosen Nezumi Otoko, he's a half-yokai, half-human character, sometimes an ally, sometimes an enemy (anti-hero or anti-villain, I don't know where to put it), he'll never stop swindling humans out of large sums of money. Hate him or love him, that's what I think makes him so appealing. I opted for an Occidental chara-design (even if it's a little closer to the mange style, I don't know from your point of view) to see what he might look like.

I hope you will the drawing. :D ;)

Gegege no Kitaro (1996) The Movie: Obake Nighter

"Hmm, playing a game against youkais means that if you lose, you forfeit your soul. Is that all right with you?" "I don't think they even care about losing their souls." "So, let's have the game tonight. All right?" "You're sure... You don't mind forfeiting your souls?"
