Once another almost two years had passed, Makoto Raiku sold the dubbing rights to Toei Animation. Cartoon Network aired the first episode on March 5, 2005. Nearly two years later, Fuji TV adapted the series into a TV show. On May 18, 2001, the very first volume of Konjiki no Gash!! hit the bookshelves, leaving thousands of fans clamoring for more. Eventually, Raiku decided to change this to weekly, seeing as the story was progressing too slowly. Afterward, the series began progressing chapter by chapter, on a monthly basis. 'Kiyomaro, Ally of Justice') was first published on January 10, 2001. The very first chapter, titled Operation 'Hero of Justice' (清麿、正義の味方 Kiyomaro, Seigi no Mikata, lit. Thus, the series Konjiki no Gash!! was born.

Raiku was reluctant to try the idea, but he ended up taking his agent's advice. After bringing up the idea to his agent, his agent suggested that he try using a 'cuter' character.
