Executive producer of D.C.II P.S

The original story and script for the "D.C.III" manga
The manga "D.C.III ~ダ・カーポIII~" published by KADOKAWA lists tororo/CIRCUS as the original creator and scriptwriter, and Kayura Yuka as the manga author. The third volume was released in 2014.
Entrusted development and independent branding
Tororo first established industry connections through a vocational school, and after graduation, joined Lunasoft, a company under Cosmos Computer, where he engaged in general software contract development. After shifting to independent planning, he became independent and founded CIRCUS on November 11, 1999.
D.C. Framework and Media Unfolding
The framework for the original D.C. was proposed by Tororo, and the content was then co-organized with the staff. During the planning framework stage, he was already considering the development of manga and TV animation.
Visual identity and in-store supply
The original D.C. established its visual identity with the blue of the sky and ocean, along with the pink of cherry blossoms. Tororo also maintained in-store supply by continuing batches, adjusting packaging, and offering special offers, allowing the store to continue displaying its works.
Sakai's production project introduction
In a 2020 interview, Nobukazu Sakai recalled that after ending the minori production line, Tororo contacted him and introduced him to Iwanaga, president of Avex Technologies.
The scale of the D.C. tour has been revised
Tororo hopes that D.C.'s nationwide store events will form player communities from various regions, so they require staff to establish communication with visitors. He originally wanted to recreate a classroom during the event, with performers in uniform sitting alongside players, but the original plan was too large, so it was actually a quiz and game tournament with performers.
Discussion on the direction of the anime adaptation
Looking back at the anime adaptations of "D.C." and "D.C.II," TORORO explained that the animation adopts an objective perspective and needs to be closer to dramatic expression. He discussed with the team which female character route to focus on, how to balance the appearances of each female character, and handle the differences between branching games and animation that struggles to diverge in the same way.
