Kazuo Koike dies
Sigh, this has been a bad week for old manga pros. 5 days after Monkey Punch, we also lost Kazuo Koike, writer on Lone Wolf and Cub, Crying Freeman, Lady Snowblood, and many other manga. April 17, 2019, pneumonia, age 82.
I'm the guy that created the Akira Toriyama Super Database, as well as the .Hack-oriented Helba Gata. Back in the 1990's, I lived in Japan for 2 years, working as a video game programmer and as a technical writer for Hitachi. After returning to the States and living in Texas for 10 years, I've decided to try living in Japan again. I'm interested in various manga, and to a lesser extent various anime. I'm also studying nihon-go.
