Kazuyuki Fudeyasu

Kazuyuki Fudeyasu is a Japanese screenwriter and series-composition writer whose credits are closely associated with television anime adaptations and long-running franchises. In anime production, series composition means shaping a program’s overall episode plan and supervising how individual scripts serve the adaptation; Fudeyasu has performed that role on several prominent titles. His work is particularly notable for adapting serialized manga and light-novel material into seasonal television programs, where plot selection, pacing, and episode endings materially affect the audience’s experience. Rather than being a performer or director, he is credited in writing departments, often alongside episode writers and production staff. His name appears prominently on David Production’s JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure television anime. Fudeyasu received series-composition credit for the adaptation that began in 2012, including arcs drawn from Hirohiko Araki’s manga. The project moved from Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency to Stardust Crusaders, Diamond Is Unbreakable, and Golden Wind, each with different protagonists and settings. Those installments include Jonathan Joestar’s nineteenth-century story, Jotaro Kujo’s journey against DIO, Josuke Higashikata’s Morioh mystery, and Giorno Giovanna’s rise within Passione. The credit therefore spans an adaptation with radically changing casts, periods, and narrative structures, rather than a single self-contained premise. It also required continuity across multiple productions.

Fudeyasu is also credited with series composition for KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World!, the television anime based on Natsume Akatsuki’s light novels. Its central character, Kazuma Satou, dies and is sent to a fantasy world, where he takes the goddess Aqua with him. The comedy builds around his party: Aqua, explosion-magic specialist Megumin, and crusader Darkness. Fudeyasu’s credit covers a work whose humor depends on quest structures, character banter, and recurring failures rather than straightforward heroic progression. He is likewise credited with series composition on the television anime Is the Order a Rabbit?, adapting Koi’s manga about Cocoa Hoto, a newcomer who works at the Rabbit House café and becomes friends with Chino Kafū, Rize Tedeza, Chiya Ujimatsu, and Syaro Kirima.

That title’s café-centered daily life contrasts sharply with Goblin Slayer, another anime for which Fudeyasu is credited as series composer. Adapted from Kumo Kagyu’s dark-fantasy light novels, Goblin Slayer follows an armored adventurer known only as Goblin Slayer, whose defining goal is eliminating goblins after a childhood tragedy. The series begins when a novice priestess joins an inexperienced party that is overwhelmed in a goblin nest, and Goblin Slayer intervenes. Across these credits, Fudeyasu has worked on markedly different source materials: Araki’s generational action saga, Akatsuki’s parody fantasy, Koi’s gentle school-and-café comedy, and Kagyu’s grim adventure narrative.
