AnimeNEXT Announces Third Japanese Guest
THIRD JAPANESE GUEST AT ANIMENEXT 2006
AnimeNEXT is very proud to be able to bring attendees three Japanese
Guests of Honor this year. Our third Guest of Honor is Harold Sakuishi.
Mr. Sakuishi is storming the states with BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad,
his
manga about what it means to be a teenager, but more importantly, what
it means to ROCK!!! With BECK, Sakuishi has displayed a keen sense for
crafting characters that generate an emotional resonance with his
readers. Through his detailed storytelling and sitcom like set-up, it's
hard not to connect to the main characters, Koyuki, Ryusuke, their
band,
and their friends. Sakuishi's love for music and pop-culture globally
can be felt throughout the series and specifically through the chapter
covers in BECK that parody famous rock album covers.
Mr. Sakuishi has a wide variety of interests that include baseball
(Huge
Chunichi Dragons fan), martial arts (Loves pro wrestling), and music.
Each of these has become the basis for his most popular series
(Baseball
in Stopper Busujima, fighting in Bakaichi, and music in BECK). His
series also often include character cameos from his past works; one of
the newspaper reporters in BECK is actually from Stopper Busujima and
so
on.
This is Mr. Sakuishi's first visit to the U.S. and we're proud to
welcome him to AnimeNEXT 2006! To find out more about Harold Sakuishi
