Ken Tsukikage - Kafu ni Narita

Ken Tsukikage (real name Masanori Tsukitashi) is one of the most famous mangakas in the world of Gekiga Erotica. He is an absolute master of inking and screening. His compositions play with transparency: he often uses thinner paper to superimpose characters on the scenery. Manga inspired by Kafu Nagai. One of the greatest authors of the Meiji, Taisho and Showa eras. The inspiration for Yukio Mishima and the master of Junichiro Tanizaki, no less. In search of freedom, the hero wanders through a modern Japan. Ken Tsukikage's sensual line sublimates Ryo Kurashina's script. After graduating from secondary school, he worked in a sign shop for two years. After retiring, he moved to Tokyo, where he continued to work for a sign shop, designing cinema signs for three years. In 1965, at the age of 24, he made his debut with the western manga "Lingo the Cross-Shooter" (Manga Action), which coincided with the boom in macaroni westerns. He went on to publish "A Mute Song of Vengeance", "Seven Samurai" and "Wesenkiller" in popular magazines such as Boys' Life. In 1972, he began publishing "Sougurensha", "Decapitated Demon", "Gankutsuo" and other works based on Kazuo Koike's original story. He is also known for his gekiga adaptation of the series "Adult Wolf Guy" by Kazumasa Hirai.
