◆Profiles◆

Hatsu Akiko
Born in Ishikawa prefecture, Hatsu first worked as assistant to her manga artist sister, Kai Yukiko, then after Kai’s death, Hatsu later debuted in ALLAN in 1981 with ‘Nami no banka’ (Elegy of the waves). She published works in Grapefruit, Petit Flower, and other ladies’ magazines, and currently works primarily for Nemuki and Flowers.
Her seminal works, which include ‘Uruwashi no Eikoku shirizu’ (Beautiful England series) and ‘Uryudo yume banashi’ (Uryudo dream tales), are highly acclaimed for their unique world view and brilliant style, as they move back and forth between typical Japanese elements and foreign atmosphere, and the worlds of fantasy and reality.

Takemiya Keiko
Born in Tokushima prefecture in 1950. Takemiya won COM magazine’s New Comer of the Month Prize in 1967, and the next year debuted professionally with ‘Ringo no tsumi’ (Sin of the apple) in Weekly Margaret Supplement. As a member of the Year 24 Flower Group, a group of artist many of whom were born in Showa 24 (1949), she became a leader in girls manga for a new generation, and in 1979 she won the Shogakukan Manga Award in recognition of her works ‘Kaze to ki no uta’ (The Poem of Wind and Trees) and ‘Terra e…’ (To Terra…). She took up a professorship at Kyoto Seika University in 2000, and is presently university president of the same institution, working to train the next generation of talent.

Sagawa Toshihiko
Sagawa Toshihiko is an editor and a writer as well. He created the magazines “JUNE” and
“Novel JUNE”, which became the origin of the word “JUNE-like”. He has also worked for “Fujimi Orchestra series” (Drama CD), “Shiozawa Kaneto MEMORIAL” (Voice actor CD), “Ai no Kusabi” and other publications as an editor and a producer.
