Hirohiko Araki, the esteemed creator of the popular manga and anime series JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, has delighted fans once again with his artistic prowess. In celebration of the live-action film adaptation of Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan: Rohan at the Louvre, Araki has personally recreated the iconic cover of the manga for a special giveaway tied to the film’s Japanese release.
Rohan at the Louvre takes the enigmatic character Rohan Kishibe on an extraordinary journey through the mesmerizing city of Paris. Descending into the depths of darkness within the catacombs, Rohan unravels the mysteries surrounding a cursed painting steeped in legend and intrigue. The film, which showcases the incredible artistry and storytelling synonymous with Araki’s work, has captivated audiences in Japanese theaters since its opening on May 26, garnering an impressive box office performance of 314 million yen during its first weekend.
The exclusive giveaway features Araki’s recreation of the cover, which beautifully captures the essence of the manga. Attendees of the film screenings will have the privilege of receiving this special image, portraying Issey Takahashi’s portrayal of Rohan, the same actor who brought the character to life in the NHK TV dramas based on the Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan one-shot manga series.
Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan is a spin-off from Araki’s long-running JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure franchise, with a focus on the intriguing character Rohan Kishibe from the Diamond is Unbreakable arc.
