キズナ 一撃

"Kizuna Ichigeki" is a Japanese animated short film produced by a young animator training project. Directed by Mitsuru Hongo, it gathers a significant number of staff and cast members from "Crayon Shin-chan," including voice actors Keiji Fujiwara and Sayuri, as well as musician Shiro Hamaguchi. The story revolves around 13-year-old middle school student Kizuna Todoroki, who comes from a family of martial artists. She defeats a 10-year consecutive champion in a fighting tournament, but due to an error, her championship title is revoked, and a 100 million yen prize is offered to whoever can defeat her. This draws fighters from all over the world to challenge her. The anime is known for its unique characters, intense battle scenes, and meticulous production, despite being only 25 minutes long, showing great sincerity and quality. It's also notable for being the debut performance of voice actress Kiyono Yasuno. The film was released in Japan on March 5, 2011, and updated on Wikipedia on May 9, 2023.
