Ichiko Tanno designs characters for "Kurikara Ryuо̄ Densetsu"
The staff of Japan's Kurikara Fudoji Temple created a "Kurikara Ryuо̄ Densetsu" (The Legend of Dragon King Kurikara) short and began streaming it on YouTube in late April. Makoto Furukawa (One-Punch Man's Saitama) narrates the short.
Manga creator and illustrator Ichiko Tannо was the short's character designer.
The short tells the legend of a demon known as Kurikara that lived on a mountain on the border between the Ishikara and Toyama prefectures. The short also follows a monk who does not give his name, and the Kurikara Sword that was handed down after over a thousand centuries.
