Katsura Exhibit - Character Design Detail Translations

Earlier this year, Tiger & Bunny series character designer Masakazu Katsura held an exhibit that ran from April 27 to May 8 commemorating the 40th anniversary since his debut. It displayed a variety of his work, including designs for Tiger and Bunny 2, as well as included facts about the character designs, which have been translated below.

-

- Kotetsu's jacket sleeves have 7 buttons - Ivan bites his nails - Pao-lin wears a short-sleeved tracksuit under the sweatshirt - Ivan's embroidered satin jacket is made to order - Katsura changed Thomas's design after reading the script, giving him a large hood with a cross mark to show he's signaling people to stay away; Katsura likes the dichotomy between that and his OP "come on" pose - nanosystem undersuits don't have a zip fastener on the back

- The face transformation during Good Luck mode doesn't serve any practical purpose. But one of the great things about TaiBani is that it still includes stuff like that. - Katsura wanted to use the nanosystem concept this time, and is glad he did because they actually used it in the script and it's a neat plotpoint. - Kotetsu looked like he would get cold, so Katsura put a jacket on him; many people like the gilet style, so he made it partly removable - Yuri's necktie contrasts Kotetsu's, it's black and white to symbolize the law - everybody's clothes are meant to be part of their daily lives; for example Karina's jacket is the one she wore in the movie - the nanosystem is authenticated by a fingerprint reader

- Fugan is right-handed - Mugan is left-handed - Each has a snakeskin design on his dominant arm and the rings - Fugan's cloak is lined with dark green - Mugan's cloak is lined with red - This is supposed to contrast with T&B

- The green part of Tiger’s armor is lime yellow green - The luminous part is yellow - The red part of Barnaby’s armor is magenta - The luminous part is neon pink - The armor does not automatically regenerate when damaged - Honeycomb pattern seems to flicker over the damaged area. - Wild Tiger's facial design evokes a Noh mask; when the face is down, it looks angry, and when he looks up, it looks like it’s smiling - Thomas and Subaru’s black and white armors are supposed to invoke the image of angel and demon - Underneath the chest and lower leg parts is a body suit - Thomas' hoodie is made of leather, dark blue in color - The white pattern “X" means "stay away"

- Barnaby - Hair color: smoky blonde - Eyebrow color: dark smoky blonde - Iris color: light emerald green - Jacket: dark wine red - Low-rise skinny cargo pants: dark green-gray - Buckskin leather boots

- Kotetsu - Hair color: brown - Iris color: light brown - Shirt and socks: deep blue-green - Gilets, jacket and pants are all in various shades of gray

- Ryan - Hair color: ultra light beige - Iris color: beige - Clothes: the inner layer is a long, seven-quarter length t-shirt covered by a gold bolero jacket made of a stretchy, metallic fabric
