Naoki posawa (January 2, 1960 -), born in Tokyo, is a Japanese cartoonist. Graduated from the Economics Department of star University. In 1983, he made his debut as "beta!".

Personal experience

In 1982, he was selected as a new comic in the primary school library, and the next year, he won the title of "beta!! 》(published in another volume of "hot hand 13"), he became an assistant to Yoshio Nodo.

In 1985, in the comic magazine bigomic original of the primary school library, pinappleary was serialized.

The following year, he serialized the judo themed cartoon Yawara in bigcomics pirits! The way of softness. Because of its popularity, it was adapted into TV animation and movie animation in 1989. Mr. Puze also serialized masterkaton in bigomic original, which is a set of works combining Archaeology and reasoning elements.

"Yawara! 》After the end of the series, we started the series happy! 》。 This is also a set of tennis comics with a young girl as the protagonist. On the other hand, he also serialized "monster" in "bigomic original". This work takes Europe as the stage. It tells the story of a Japanese surgeon tracking a young killer. The police are also tracking the Japanese surgeon. In addition, the appearance of the Neo Nazi Party and so on. Because the story is composed of multiple structures, it makes the work full of charm. Now Mr. Puze's latest work is Billy the bat, and Pluto and 20th century youth have officially ended.

Naoki puzawa, graduated from the Department of economics of star University, is one of the main painters in the Japanese youth comic art world. He loved painting since childhood, and was even more addicted to comic and music creation in his college days. After graduation, with "return", he was selected as a new talent in the primary school library and became a professional cartoonist. In 1990, he won the 35th cartoon award in the elementary school Museum for his "soft way", and then he became one of the most popular cartoonists in Japan.

According to statistics, Puze's total sales of comics have exceeded 100 million copies, which earned him the nickname of "man who sold 100 million books".

After laying the foundation for "soft way" and "happy!" with sports comics as the theme, his style of painting began to change, focusing on depicting social phenomena. The final mercenary and the dangerous investigator were his transformation works. At that time, he was only painting, and the script was someone else's. from "monster", his style and thought became more mature, and the story was tense and suspense. In 1999, he wrote "monster" 》He won the third cartoon of Osaka Culture Award sponsored by Asahi Shimbun. In 2001, the new work "the youth of the 20th century" won the 25th Comic Award of the talk club.

Puzezhishu won the award of speaking Club

When I was a child, the future was just out of reach for me. At that time, I always thought, "what is the world like?" This kind of problem. I think, at that time, Puze boy, I must be full of absurd imagination in my head all day. However, since the first year of the 21st century, the 20th century youth, which has been serialized and published before the deadline every time, can also get a big reward from the talk club, just as I am looking forward to the arrival of this unimaginable future

In reality, unpredictable things will happen, so in the future, young people in the 20th century will work harder to become a work that can make readers cheer and excited. In the future, please support!
