Why Ryogo Matsumaru 「shivered because he was too much of a genius」 after he posted a picture of himself relaxing at the “Pokemon Center” on Twitter.

Ryogo Matsumaru, a mystery creator, loves Pokemon so much that he has appeared in TV shows and commercials. Needless to say, he recently visited Ishikawa Prefecture for the first time and was overjoyed to visit the 「Pokemon Center Kanazawa」. However, when he posted a commemorative photo from that visit on Twitter, he was even more excited by a surprising turn of events.

人生初の石川県からツイートしたら

When I asked one of my followers about 「recommended spots in Ishikawa Prefecture」, he gave me information about 「Milokaros-chan」 at the Pokémon Center Kanazawa…

It was on April 18 that he tweeted about landing in Ishikawa Prefecture. A commemorative photo taken at the Pokémon Center Kanazawa was published on April 23, which led to an unexpected turn of events.

Ryogo Matsumaru reaches out his hands to meet and hug Milokalos.

He seems to have taken his hat off to his followers’ reactions to his clever use of it.

This was met with responses from other followers such as 「Too much genius!」 and 「God, that’s so genius!」

By the way, did you not make it to the『Pokemon x Crafts exhibition』 being held at the National Crafts Museum in Kanazawa…

At last, he even wrote the lyrics for the 『Pokemon』 ED song.

Ryogo Matsumaru is known for his work on the 『Pokemon』 anime (TV Tokyo) in the mini-corner 「Let’s Get Inspired! Let’s Poke-nazo!」 (TV Tokyo), and a book compiling these puzzles (supervised by Ryogo Matsumaru, written by Kenta Ishibashi) has also been published by Korotan Bunko.

In addition, he often appeared in the Pokémon variety show 『Pokémon no Ie Atsumaru?』 (from October 2015 to March 2022), and from April 2022, he will be the MC of the Pokémon variety show 『Pokémon to Dokoiku!?』 (October 2015 to March 2022), and has a strong connection with Pokémon, serving as the MC for the Pokémon information variety show “Pokémon to Dokoiku!

That is why it is so exciting that he wrote the lyrics for the ED song in the new 『Pokémon』 series.
