- In the outskirts of Tokyo, we had the chance to spend a day in the studio of Hiroyuki Takei, the mangaka behind the world-renowned Shaman King series.
We dived into his evolution as a mangaka, the behind Shaman King and its sudden cancellation from the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine and the new turn the series is taking, more than 20 years after its first release.

The only guy in this world who can appear like the most humble person while having a Ferrari and a Delorean in his garage.
When he said that Shaman King was a series that is being looked down on it breaks my heart to hear that. I never felt that Shaman King was a loss but cheers to Hiroyuki Takei-san keep up the good work and you will reach your dreams of putting your series on the top.
I'm sorry...But why does he talk as if he is a nobody? He is a bloody legend!!!
This interview felt so somber for the most part, but his line at the end about proving that Shaman King deserves its place gave me the biggest grin, and seeing him laughing afterwards was especially uplifting. Shaman King was the first manga I started reading in the first issue of Shonen Jump I received, and it's always meant so much to me. It used to be up there with One Piece and Bleach in my eyes, even though its popularity eventually dropped. The series is basically on life support now and Hiroyuki Takei is clearly having a tough time, but hearing that he'll put his all in his next work fills me with hope that he'll really pull it off. Shaman King fans like me still exist, and we'll always be rooting for you!
I just started crying while reading the comments too, Shaman King manga actually saved me from my lowest depression points so many times. This is the story that will always be the dearest to me.
I think the ferrari and delorean are real cars. and I also think hiroyuki takei sensei tried not to cry while talking about losing popularity, he created a story and characters he love a but people didn't' , so it's heartbroken. I watched shaman kign when I was like 14 or 15 and now I'm 36 watching shaman king 2021, it means so much to me. shaman king is a great conceptm, weapons, stories. I feel shaman king should have more fillers and maybe yoh is too mature and smart compared to naruto, dragon ball, one piece, bleach, etc. most fans are kids or teens and they prefer less mature or smart things.
I still haven't seen another Villain pull a Hao and never lose
IS ANYONE HERE AFTER THE SHAMAN KING REMAKE ANNOUNCEMENT?!?!?!?!?!?!
Shaman King.......saved my life! No exaggeration in this statement. I truly believe that I would not be here right now (at 26 years old) if it wasn't for this amazing story that he wrote. I am beyond thrilled and excited for the new anime adaptation and cannot wait to see this masterpiece. For such an underrated story to get the Brotherhood treatment is the most amazing thing. I truly hope that Hiroyuki Takei is aware of how many lives he touched with his story as I'm sure I'm not the only one.
The announcement of the new anime make me comeback to watch and recommend this video again, it makes me so happy for Hiroyuki Takei!! He will finally understand that this series has a special place in every one of us, and he can prove it to the new generations. It would be amazing to get a follow-up video once the anime is out to see his opinion and perspective about it.
>Had a child at 20
SHAMAN KING BROTHERHOOD WAS ANNOUNCED RIGHT NOW TAKEI THIS MOMENT IS OURS!!!
He’ll probably never see this but I want Hiroyuki Takei to know that he made one of the coolest fucking manga of all time. Shaman King is a series that means the world to me and has become a huge part of my identity. I named myself Asakura because of Yoh. I collected every volume of the manga. I bought every video game I could get my hands on. I even started collecting the figures. Your style and characters are some of my favorite in all of manga and I can’t thank you enough for creating this series that I love so much.
Shaman king is beyond underrated. Series literally got me through depression as a youth
I've watched this interview multiple times at this point. Every single time it has made me cry. Hiroyuki Takei-sensei has been an immense inspiration to me and I've been watching/reading his series ever since I was a kid. Popular or not, I want to say a wholehearted "Thank you" to him even if he never reads this comment.
Shaman King is pretty popular in north africa (algeria, morroco, tunisia and egypt) it’s a shame it didn’t get the recognition it deserved. I hope one day you’ll make a portrait of kentaro miura.
In Russia and ex-Soviet countries Shaman King is often remembered with nostalgia even among those who doesn't really like anime or manga. In is a part of our childhood and youth. Yoh Asakura is different from Naruto, Luffy, Ichigo or Goku, because he isn't some hot-blooded guy with no brains. The setting is the real world, which is also doesn't often occurs in the shonen manga. It has some thoughts on the human nature. If Takei only knew how loved is Shaman King here, he would have a little better opinion on himself.
Shaman King was and will remain one of the most vivid memories for those who grew up in the early 2000s throughout the post-Soviet space. Ask any twenty-year-old guy or even a girl about what they did every day after school as a child, most will say that they ran home so as not to miss a new episode. The first anime for many of us. What we have never seen before. The story and the characters who attracted attention and limitless child imagination.
Who still remembers the Shaman King intro to this day? That was a banger back when I was still in school.
How can a short interview go to the depth of a person in 20 minutes ? It's incredible, and masterfully edited. I loved it. Thank you all.
