As a die-hard fan who has journeyed through the thrilling world of “My Hero Academia” for what feels like a lifetime, I must confess that my admiration for Kohei Horikoshi knows no bounds. The creator’s humility and unwavering dedication to his craft is truly inspiring. It’s as if he’s been struck by the same quirk that imbues his characters with superhuman abilities – a gift for storytelling that has captivated millions across the globe.
Despite My Hero Academia concluding its serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine after a decade, its journey isn’t over yet. The anime adaptation continues with Season 7, and a new movie is premiering in Japanese theaters before expanding globally this Fall. Yet, despite the worldwide success of the franchise, its creator remains grounded and humble.
“My Hero Academia: It’s Your Turn Now” is now playing in cinemas across Japan, and with the latest release of the movie and the conclusion of the manga, ComicBook had an exclusive interview with creator Kohei Horikoshi about the global success of his series. Despite acknowledging the immense popularity, Horikoshi strives to remain unaware of it to prevent altering his writing based on this success, though he is genuinely thankful for it.
How My Hero Academia Creator Views Popularity
Horikoshi mused, “I knew this work gained popularity overseas, but it seemed unbelievable to me. Initially, when I began drawing this manga, I focused more on enjoying the process rather than catering to foreign readers. In fact, when it was first serialized in Japan, I was astonished by the level of support from Japanese fans.” However, as the series grew larger, Horikoshi decided not to delve too deeply into understanding why it resonated with audiences.
“Horikoshi expressed his astonishment at how people from various cultures are appreciating his work now. He admits he can’t explain the reasons for the series’ popularity, as he tries not to focus on it. If he were to acknowledge that his manga is widely read overseas, he fears it could drastically alter his writing style. Gratefully, he refrains from analyzing it.”
