DGN PRO./DRMASTER SIGNS VIDEO GAME DESIGNER – YASUSHI SUZUKI
& ANNOUNCES 1ST ORIGINAL MANGA
- PURGATORY KABUKI! -
San Jose, CA – October, 2006 DrMaster Publications Inc. and DGN
Productions Inc. have just signed internationally acclaimed video game
designer Yasushi Suzuki (aka – D-Suzuki) for an action-packed and
completely original manga publication titled – Purgatory Kabuki.
“While many U.S. manga publishers license previously published works or
scramble to find American artists with a ‘manga-like’ artistic style
for
OEL manga, DGN Productions has turned toward Japan and strategically
signed Yasushi Suzuki.” states Marketing Director and Project Lead -
Shawn Sander. “Suzuki-san is an accredited conceptual designer,
animator and graphic artist who is incredibly well known for his work
in
Japanese and American video games.”
Purgatory Kabuki Synopsis:
Purgatory Kabuki is a non-stop samurai action story set in the
underworld or afterlife. For reasons unknown, former samurai –
Imanotsurugi is obsessed with leaving the afterlife. To die in battle
is
a samurai's greatest honor. Yet, now Imanotsurugi must claim 1000
swords
from the fallen warriors who share residence in the dark underworld. By
these and these means alone, this highly skilled blades master will be
allowed admittance back into the living world. But to what end? Upon
what stone purpose does he sharpen his edge? His only enlightenment
comes by way of a violently powerful but utterly adorable guide named –
Enishi.
Demons, Oni, magical denizens, supernatural ninja clans and more are
met
with a smorgasbord of blades and stylish action. The result is
beautifully illustrated chaos sublime!
“We are so very proud to bring a work with such intensity and is so
completely original. Suzuki-san is one of Japan's most innovative
creative talents. We are truly honored! His enthusiasm, keen eye and
flare for action planning is sure to astound you, as it has us. The
story borrows heavily from various Japanese legends and
myth--skillfully
mixed bag of action, suspense, intrigue and classic ukiyoe style art!
”Yasushi Suzuki is a world renowned video game conceptual designer and
animator. His work on IKARUGA (Sega), Sin & Punishment (Nintnendo),
Radiant Silver Gun (Sega), and so many other games, mainly under the
gaming development giant TREASURE GAMES, has earned him a following few
other conceptual designers can match.
