The director of the anime "Fuuto Detectives" is Yosuke Kabashima, who enthusiastically says, "I really wanted to serve."

The anime "Fuuto Tantei (Fuuto Detective) " scheduled to be distributed in the summer of 2022 is a sequel to the special effects drama "Kamen Rider W". Set in the windy city where peace should have come, private detective Shotaro Sakata and his partner Philip confront a new mysterious incident. Along with the main character Shotaro, the new image board features a hard boiler, which is the favorite machine of "Kamen Rider W". In addition, Philip, the mysterious beauty Tokime, the director of the Narumi detective office, Akiko, and Akiko's husband, Ryu Terui, who is also a Kamen Rider Accelerator, and others seemed to have fun.

The director is Yosuke Kabashima, who was the character designer and animation director for "Uma Musume Pretty Derby". From Kabashima, who also serves as a "Kamen Rider Dopant Animator" as a staff member, "If" Futo Detectives "would be animated, I really wanted to serve as the director." The Kamen Rider series always saved me when I was in trouble in my life, and that's why I really wanted to give back with my own hands. "

The deputy director is Ayataka Tanemura of "Black Clover", and the chief animation director is Hidekazu Ebina of "Fate / Apocrypha" and Kiyoshi Komatsubara of "Chivalry of a Failed Knight". Ebina also handles character design. Kotaro Nakagawa and Shuhei Naruse, who have been involved in many "Kamen Rider" works, will be in charge of the music following "Kamen Rider W".

In addition, a video of a dialogue between Sanjo, who supervises the script, and Hideaki Tsukada, a general producer, has been released on Toei's official YouTube channel. The film was announced at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival 2021 in France in June. Sanjo and Tsukada talk about the charm of "Kamen Rider W", which has evolved from special effects to manga and anime, the production episodes, and the thoughts put into the work.

If "Futo Detectives" were to be animated, I really wanted to be the director. When I heard that "Kamen Rider W" would be cartoonized as "Futo Detectives", I strongly thought and wished. The "Kamen Rider" series, including "Kamen Rider W," has always saved me when I was in trouble in my life. That's why I really wanted to give back the gratitude with my own hands. Fortunately, I was given the opportunity this time. Based on my love and feelings for my work, I would like to do my best to make it. We intend to deliver the atmosphere of "W" as a work that reproduces it as it is. Please look forward to it!
