A better look at The Fiend in Shimako Sato’s ‘K-20’

Back in May Todd posted images from the sales flyer for Shimako Sato’s K-20: Kaijin Nijû Mensô Den. It gave us a bit of an idea how the character design went but you cannot always get the clarity you want from scanning flyers.

Never fear. Jason Gray has noted over on his blog that the official site now has that same image from the flyer in full digital glory on its main page. Much clearer image. Much brighter. Much better. Now we can see some details in the costume. I’ve messed about with the image and tried to brighten it more, bring out more details.

And according to Jason, who did the English translation of the script, “I can say that Kaneshiro Takeshi fans are in for a treat”.

Set in an alternate world where ninety percent of Japan’s wealth is controlled by a small sliver of the aristocracy, the Fiend is a sort of Robin Hood figure who steals from the rich. Kaneshiro plays a circus acrobat falsely set up as the Fiend who must escape from jail and track down the real thief to clear his name with the help of a beautiful police detective who is being targeted by the real thief.
