Bilibili in China will make merchandise based on Kazutaka Kodaka, who’s best known for his work on games like the Danganronpa series and The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy. In a tweet he made announcing this, he said that he’s sure this news will confuse people, but he assured them that he’s the most confused by it.
Kodaka posted the news on his social media account, striking a dynamic post next to the Bilibili Goods logo. The Too Kyo Games and Denmu logos also appear in the picture. So far, there’s no information on his account or other sites about what kinds of goods merchandise will release based on Kazutaka Kodaka, or when to expect them. It’s also unclear if they’ll be available on storefronts like Amiami, which would make them easily available for an international audience to purchase.
Kazutaka Kodaka is a video game director and writer who worked at Spike (later Spike Chunsoft) until he founded Too Kyo Games in 2017. His work on Danganronpa put him on the map. Later on, he also became known for his work on Master Detective Archives: Rain Code, Tribe Nine, and The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy-. Kodaka’s popularity on Bilibili could stem from the QAs about his QAs for The Hundred Line, which allowed fans the opportunity to communicate with him in a more casual setting without having to wait until an event.
More information about the Kazutaka Kodaka Bilibili merchandise will come out at a later date. The most recent game Kodaka worked on, Shuten Order, is available on the Nintendo Switch and Windows PC.
