Today, January 1, 2024, Yusuke Murata, the cartoonist who became famous with "One Punch Man", suddenly announced the establishment of an animation studio and plans to create new original works. Stay tuned.

Yusuke Murata is a Japanese manga artist born on July 4, 1978. He made his debut in 1998 after publishing "Not Cold" in Weekly Shonen Jump No. 29, which was selected for the 51st Akatsuka Award. His representative works include "Lightspeed Runner 21" and the revised version of "One Punch Man". He is recognized as a top-notch artist in the comics circle, with first-class hand-drawn comic skills, exquisite and smooth storyboards and pictures, but he is not very confident in his screenwriting ability.

In fact, on December 30 last year, Yusuke Murata posted on SNS that he was making a new original animation about "pilots". He also revealed a logo that seemed to be called "Village Studio". This might be the new name of his studio. Unexpectedly, the answer was revealed today. He really set up a new animation company. Please stay tuned for follow-up reports.
