"Blue Dragon: Toriyama's Final Anime?", (29 March 2007). - Akira Toriyama

I believe mine would be Piccolo. He was the first character in my manga where I was like, "He has a scary face, but he's so cool!" It really is cliché when bad guys turn into good guys, but it just feels great drawing it!

The method of producing comics in Japan is very hectic, but it's also rewarding because it's possible to do both the story and art all by yourself. In this way, it's possibly to bring out one's individuality. If this idea appeals to you, I call on you to try drawing your own manga.

Actually, I have a lot of hobbies, but I've kept up with model-building the longest. In particular, I love military models.
