Sakigake!! Otokojuku – Gokukoji Hidemaro Close-Up – Original Production Cel and Douga Stuck (Toei Animation, 1988)

A dynamic close-up of Gokukoji Hidemaro, the cunning and fearless student of Otokojuku, rendered in exquisite detail on this original production cel. The cel is meticulously stuck to its matching douga, capturing the key animation phase alongside the finalized artwork.

Produced by Toei Animation during the late 1980s, this cel comes from the classic series renowned for its intense characters and over-the-top martial arts battles. The character design reflects the bold style pioneered by Masami Suda, who also lent his talents to Fist of the North Star, giving Otokojuku its iconic rugged and powerful aesthetic.

A prized piece for collectors of vintage anime art and fans of nostalgic, high-energy 80s shonen animation.
