PRESS: Recently announced as Creative Partner of Azuki, renowned actor, director and producer, Stephen Fung takes inspiration from his own Azuki NFT collection to craft BUCKET MAN, a vibrant original anime IP, that is set to debut at ComplexCon Hong Kong 2025.
Weaving together intricate characters, a richly imagined world, and a narrative pulsing with originality that is in line with Azukiās vision to create a decentralized anime IPs brand that stands at the intersection of community, art, technology, and culture, BUCKET MAN is a symbol of resilience and limitless potential, rising above challenges to defy all odds, while showcasing Fungās commitment to innovative storytelling in the digital age.
For the BUCKET MAN launch, Fung has enlisted the expertise of the āGodfather of Designer Toysā Michael Lau to create a limited-edition BUCKET MAN figurine, powered by Azuki, that integrates Physical Backed Token (PBT) technology, enabling seamless on-chain ownership tracking with a simple scan.
