Kadokawa announced that India-based manga creators masterlynx have made their professional debut in Japan with the serialization of Kung Fu Kung Fool on the Kadocomi manga portal website. The action-comedy manga has been available to read on Kadocomi as of May 15, 2026, with a new chapter being released on the third Friday of every month.
Masterlynx (consisting of brothers Jivan and Yash) were previously awarded the Silver Prize in Kadokawa’s international Wordless World Manga Contest for their one-shot manga Heartsteel in 2025.
Kung Fu Kung Fool is described as “blending elements of Japanese culture and other Asian influences.” It was developed with materlynx writing the original text in English, while Kadokawa’s World Manga Editorial Team adapted the Japanese dialogue and sound effects for the work.
Kadokawa describes the main synopsis of Kung Fu Kung Fool as:
Goemon, a notorious thief who’s been causing a stir in town, clashes with the Whiskers, a gang of villains, over the treasure held by a young boy named Bao. Just when he’s cornered and desperate, Goemon’s second personality awakens — unleashing instinctive kung fu attacks that take down his enemies… What awaits Goemon and Bao on their goofy adventure?! A nonstop action comedy begins!
