The new executive producer of Dragon Ball and the president of Capsule Corporation Tokyo, Akio Iyoku has committed himself into bringing new games, anime, movies, and more Dragon Ball franchises, according to an interview from Nikkei.
This was the statement of Akio Iyoku- “As the Executive Producer of a work with unprecedented longevity, my mission is to expand and convey what the original creator, Akira Toriyama, has created.
Iyoku told Nikkei that “I will continue to produce works, such as anime series, movies, and games, over the next 10 years. Adopting what is popular at the moment does not increase the probability of success. I will not be swayed by the current trends, but will create works that I feel will be ‘good enough’.”
The statement of Akio Iyoku is very promising for the fans of Dragon Ball and now we know what to expect from the new executive producer.
Akio Iyoku Plans For Dragon Ball Franchise
In the Nikkei interview, which was reported in English by SupaChronicles and sailorrjupiter, Akio Iyoku mentioned how he had committed himself to the production of the Dragon Ball series, including anime, movies, and games for the next 10 upcoming years.
The Dragon Ball Diama Anime and Dragon Ball Sparkling! Zero games will be playing a crucial part for the next 10 years. Besides Diama, Iyoku did not elaborate on any specific plans for the future.
Iyoku shared his thoughts on expanding Dragon Ball in overseas markets and it appears that the new executive producer is going to be involved in more than just anime going forward, he will especially be assisting in the development of games as he believes that it will play an important role in development and success of the Dragon Ball franchise.
The expansion of Dragon Ball overseas is going to be the key vision for Akio Iyoku as it is very important, which is why New York Comic Con 2023 was chosen as the location to reveal Dragon Ball Daima. It is very important to have a strong presence outside of Japan for the success of Dragon Ball, and this proved to be a good move for the Franchise.
Moreover, Iyoku’s vision for the anime industry is quite different from his unique approach; he wants to transcend the boundaries of the corporate organization. He wants to end the cycle where a Manga is made and then adapted into Anime, and then the anime comes to an end resulting in short and ending production.
