Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
KochiKame holds the Guinness World Record for longest-running manga with same author—40 years until 2016. The anime only adapted a fraction.
Ryo-san is basically the Japanese Homer Simpson—so iconic that real Tokyo police stations had to ban cosplay of him for being 'disrespectful.'
