Are there any other instances of mangaka making fanmade characters canon and incorporating them into his manga?

Not quite fan made but this guy showed up in the first detective conan movie and was not created by the mangaka, but later the mangaka made him canon.

>stealth kongou banchou thread

I could wish the image quality was better?

Kinnikuman had tons of fan submissions brought into the story and used for both major and minor roles throughout.

>One of the fan designs was used as a disguise for Neptuneman
Imagine if something like that happened today, someone gets their fan design in and it was just a ruse by another character

Wasn't it pretty common? I remember the postcard art competitions.

Its hard to get these images in high quality imo. The scans are pretty bad.

Bubble girl was an oc???

I love how bakunetsu banchou was probably someones rip off kongou which the creator managed to give a unique look

Nowadays the fan who submitted it would demand money and act like he wrote the manga

I am pretty sure Toriko had tons of monsters that someone else came up with right?

Some of those characters wouldnt appear until much later

Edens Zero

Edens Zero had a whole villain squad of fanmade characters last year

Yeah but do any modern manga do that??

I havent seen a contest for ocs like that in a long time.

Whaaat?

Was it open to westerners? Was it contest?

Imagine making an OC and Mashima puts a bomb in her ass.

Thats the problem with competitions like this.

Its always just giving fodder characters for the mangaka to kill off. Never someones whos going to be a strong recurring character

>a whole villain squad of fanmade characters
that's pretty fuckin cool

It was a contest yes and I think a few of them were designes by westerners. Only five of them were contest winners though, the robot, mustache dude and tounge guy was Mashima's own designs.

BDSM Batman was always based and got even more based when he married best girl

I love Kinnikuman, but the writing sucks, so it's amazing how it became so successful with so many designs that the artist didn't even create.

>problem
How is it a problem, it's great! Or do you think so highly of your designs that they shouldn't be treated like a funny cameo in any circumstances?
