What did you think when you first heard about the collaboration with "eFootball"?

I was very happy to see the world of "Captain Tsubasa" and players like Messi, Suarez, and Neymar come together.

How did you feel when you were asked to draw illustrations of world-class soccer players such as Messi, Kubo, and Neymar? How did you feel when you were asked to draw them?

I was very happy, but I had to be careful that the fans of the players would not say, "They don't look like him! I was very happy, but since everyone knows the players, it was difficult to draw them like the characters in "Captain Tsubasa" while avoiding the fans saying "They don't look alike!

I hope that many people will enjoy the various efforts that are only possible through this collaboration, which of course features the worldview of the game, but also the worldview of "Captain Tsubasa.
