We’re getting closer to the launch of the Samurai Chef Kickstarter and that means another character from the story and another character that will make an appearance in volume 1 and 2.
The one of the elite chefs to enter the competition. A member of Rose Kitchen, Hitoshi is a suave chef with an European flair. But can his team’s dish get a good score from the Samurai Chef?
The Kickstarter for the second volume of Samurai Chef is just a few weeks away and we’re continuing our look at some of the characters that will feature in the story.
Check out the character artwork for the upbeat handywoman Mary and the show’s booming announcer Jimi.
We announced a week ago that work has begun on the second and concluding volume of Samurai Chef, and we’re getting ready to launch a Kickstarter campaign for the new book in March.
Before it launches, we’ll be putting up some great character artwork by the Samurai Chef illustrator Pinali. Take a look at some of the characters making an appearance in the next chapter of the story.
First up is the Samurai Chef. The toughest food critics around, the Samurai Chef is the main protagonist of the Samurai Chef story and in volume 2 he’ll be up against tougher dishes as the show continues to escalate.
You can see more of his back story in the free Samurai Chef Origins comic.
We spent this past weekend at the London Anime & Gaming Con. As usual it was a good mix of the wacky and wonderful in a relaxed community environment.
The event also saw us give our first Q&A panel at any convention. We were given the opportunity to talk on stage about the brand and characters, Samurai Chef included, as well as the manga we create.
It was a great two days seeing some cool cosplayers, meeting new fans and we even saw a marriage proposal!
Take a look at some of our photos, and head over to our Facebook page to say hi if we met you at LAGC.
We took a trip around Camden with LP of StarlightPhonics, shooting video and stopping off at every shop that caught our eye. There are always new surprises to check out.
We’re working a new video series which will begin in spring, but until then check out some photos from our day.
