Yuru~i Gegege no Kitarō: Yōkai Dotabata Daisensō (Lax Gegege no Kitarō: Yōkai Slapstick Big Battle), a smartphone game based on Shigeru Mizuki’s GeGeGe no Kitarō manga, launched in Japan on iOS and Android on Thursday.
Shigeru Mizuki’s supernatural manga Kitaro (GeGeGe no Kitarō) began in 1959 under the name Hakaba Kitarō.
The manga has spawned several television series (including one Hakaba Kitarō anime), animated movies, and two live-action films.
PONOS and DeNA are jointly developing the tower defense-style game with Toei Animation using the same system as PONOS’ The Battle Cats game.
