“I feel Teru-kun is the most ‘yang’ of all the characters. The rest are more ‘yin’ in nature. Because of this, it’s easy to play around with his expressions - he’s fun to draw. Speaking in terms of Dragonball, he’s kind of like Mob Psycho 100’s Vegeta (laughs).”
"A lot of that fanart would be… a shounen in a cool pose wearing a school uniform with smooth bobbed hair & sharp cat-like eyes, sort of like Hiei’s eyes (from Yu Yu Hakusho). Very different from the manga’s art.”

“Can you heaaaar me!! I am currently speaking directly into your braaaain!!! What I’m grateful for with this commission is I was able to design the cover in any way I’d like!! A cover is a reflection of current times, so, of course, I went for skating!

“With the recent popularity that Skating Anime has had, what’s this - a Shouwa idol collab?! It’s all in the little details in their clothing - their wrinkled shirts, white trousers, black belts - both around their waists and arms.”
[#MP100 Interview Translation] Translation thread for Character Designer Kameda Yoshimichi’s 4 page interview from Otome Visual 2017, regarding what went on behind-the-scenes with Mob Psycho 100. Will update over time;
Kameda; “That’s right. In building up the character sheets I intended to draw a good amount of inspiration from the manga designs, but by actually drawing in a style meant to replicate ONE-sensei’s art for the anime, I realised just how great a difference there is.”
