Yukinobu Tatsu Compares a Dandadan Character to Superman
This Character is Momo
Yukinobu Tatsu is the mangaka of Dandadan, which is one of the biggest anime hits of 2024.

When it comes to Yukinobu Tatsu, he was asked a total of 6 questions, some more interesting than others.
The most interesting question undoubtedly was the third one of this interview, where he was asked about a character he is particularly fond of. He proceeded to reveal his favorite character. Here’s what went down:
Q: Are there any characters you’re particularly fond of? Please tell us your reasons if so.
A: My favorite character is Momo. If I ever feel that I haven’t drawn her as cute as I want her to be, I’ll redo the drawing over and over again, and it can really hold up progress on the final draft.
Momo is like Superman. Superman helps people with his superhuman powers, but I don’t think that’s the core of who he is. In the face of violence or injustice, ordinary people often look away. But Superman’s presence inspires people, giving them the courage to stand up against such evil.
In the same way, Momo’s actions and words inspire those around her, motivating them to rise up, just like Superman.
Here, Dandadan’s author compares Momo, his main character, to Superman. The way she uses her powers to help others and her fight against injustice is what makes her like this famous superhero.
Other Questions Dandadan Manga Was Asked

Besides his favorite character, Tatsu also answered questions concerning his most memorable scenes, his work environment, what he keeps in mind when writing Dandadan, his inspirations, and finally, his approach to storytelling.
