Production

Wind Breaker is written and illustrated by Satoru Nii. He was inspired to draw manga as he consistently read Weekly Shōnen Magazine during his childhood. While attending university he submitted a dark fantasy work titled Uramare-ya for a newcomer award and then achieved a Kodansha-published serialization with the gender bender/sports manga Danshi Bado-Bu ni Joshi ga Magireteru Secret Badminton Club. When a second badminton series stalled in development and after he received some advice from an editor, Nii shifted his focus to creating stories about male characters he called "cool boys" (カッコいい男の子, kakkoī otokonoko).[10] Wind Breaker was born out of Nii's desire to create a series centered around this archetype, which he wished to accomplish by studying similar works while consulting with an editor.[11] Manga like Rave Master and Samurai Deeper Kyo, both of which he grew up reading and that be felt contained such characters, served as influences.[10]

Nii initially considered having Umemiya as the main character. However, he was unable to make progress having the team leader of Bofuurin as the protagonist, so he brought in Sakura to fill the role to lend an outsider's perspective on the story's circumstances.[10][11] The author has called Sakura his favorite character for embodying the "cool" factor he sought to accomplish and due to the time he devoted in designing his appearance and personality.[11] He chose to give him heterochromatic eyes and hair to add visual complexity and to make him distinguishable as the main character at a glance.[10] He further likened him to a stray cat in his design, stating his light movements and lack of body thickness were unlike normal humans.[11] Also feeling that he lacked the personality of a main character in an early draft, Nii gave Sakura the tsundere-like trait of being embarrassed when someone praised or thanked him.[10]

The main setting of the manga was modeled after a shopping district in Tokyo. Bofurin's team color is green, representing plants, while the rival team Shishitoren's color is red, representing a red lantern found in a tavern.[10] Nii claimed to have little involvement with the anime adaptation. He admitted to being impressed by the voice actors' commitments to their parts and was consequently able to reinterpret his own characters.[11]
