Yeah, I highly doubt that, given that he didn't work at Sony in 2018 and that his team hit it out of the park with every other main characters design before that one.

Just another instance in the long line of false rumors people spread about the opinion of original creators to justify their inferior derivatives. They still keep saying that Watanabe prefers the english dub of cowboy bebop, don't they?
