In recent years, the animation two-dimensional culture represented by station B has continuously broken through the wall and repeatedly become a hot topic in the reality of the three dimensions.
In fact, in Japan, a big country in animation, the two-dimensional circle of animation has long been not a new thing. More than 50 years ago, a Japanese manga sparked a viewing spree, so much so that fans held a funeral for the character who died in the manga, and even more surprisingly, the character was still only a supporting role in the manga.
Speaking of Kajihara Kazukazu and his masterpiece "Tomorrow's Father" (also translated as Iron Fist Prodigal Son, Little Fist King, and Fire Fist Kai), many young anime fans may not be particularly familiar with it. However, it is well known in Japan and was once all the rage.
Tomorrow's Father is a sports inspirational manga written by Kajihara Kajihara Kazuka (real named Asao Takamori) and drawn by Tetsuya Chiba. From 1967 to 1973, it was serialized in Shonen Magazine, a weekly magazine owned by Kodansha.
The protagonist, Yabuki Akira, is a 15-year-old boy who has wandered the streets and becomes obsessed with boxing in order to defeat his nemesis, Ishito, who is in the juvenile detention center. Both Yabuki and Rishishi became professional boxers after leaving the juvenile detention center. The two compete in the ring, and although Li Shiche won the game, he died in the ring.
This bloody inspirational manga depicting boxing once sparked a huge viewing boom in Japanese society in the 60s and 70s. Countless fans were touched by the passion and hard work of Yabuki and Rishi.
When the plot developed to the point where Li Shi fell on the boxing ring, all the fans were shocked and unacceptable. The editorial board of the weekly teenager Magazine was overwhelmed by letters from readers.
Faced with the reluctance of his fans, playwright Shuji Terayama took the opportunity to propose a real-life farewell ceremony for Rishi toru. Shuji Terayama was leading a troupe called "Louza", and with the help of the members of the troupe, the first farewell ceremony for a virtual anime character in Japanese history was held on March 24, 1970 at the Kodansha Auditorium.
The "farewell ceremony" craze was astounding, with 700 avid fans coming to the event. A boxing platform was set up in the center of the venue, and after inviting senior monks to chant prayers, animation screenings, commemorative competitions, musical theater performances and other activities were also held.
Such an anime two-dimensional event has been reported by the Asahi Shimbun, Sankei Shimbun, and other media that have always only reported on serious current political news, and have become a hot topic in Japanese society. A virtual character in a manga, not yet the protagonist, actually surpasses the anime two-dimensional dimension and has a huge impact in the real three-dimensional dimension, which is really an unparalleled event.
After this "farewell ceremony", Li Shiche's spiritual hall was permanently preserved for comic fans to continue to worship. Every year, fans from all over Japan come to commemorate this character who died in the manga "Tomorrow's Father" and wrote a lot of ink in the history of Japanese anime.

After this, the influence of Japanese anime gradually expanded from the second dimension to the third dimension, with the initiator of Rishi Ishito. Later, many anime characters also held similar events, such as fans holding a soul promotion ceremony for the boxing king Rao in "Hokuto Divine Fist", and holding a wedding for Boxer Shiro and Yulia.
But there are some regrettable anecdotes about Kajihara, the screenwriter of "Tomorrow's Father". Kajihara Ichigo was once married to Taiwanese entertainer Bai Bingbing, and the two had a daughter, Bai Xiaoyan.

However, Kajiwara once cheated during Shiraku's pregnancy and also committed domestic violence against Haku ice. After Bai Bingbing had to divorce, she returned to Taiwan alone to give birth to her daughter. Unfortunately, in 1997, her daughter Bai Xiaoyan was kidnapped and killed.
Kajiwara, on the other hand, still does not restrain his violent tendencies after his divorce, and it is no wonder that he can create such a good boxing manga.
In 1983, Kajiwara was arrested for injuring people and committing violent acts, after beating up the editor of magazine teenager Magazine, causing him to recover for four weeks. The screenwriter of Japan's best boxing manga, who later committed domestic violence against his wife, was arrested for boxing others.
