Can you tell us about the legend you decided to rewrite?

In his current incarnation, dating from the 18th century, Momotarō is a beloved hero of Japanese folklore. Born from a giant peach to a childless couple, Momotarō leaves home to fight a band of marauding demons on a distant island. On the way, he befriends a dog, a monkey and a pheasant, who become his allies.



In our version, Momotarō becomes Momoko, an ambiguous young girl, and his animal friends morph into biker couples with delinquent tendencies.
