Harold Sakuishi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Harold Sakuishi (ハロルド 作石 Harold Sakuishi?), born March 16, 1969 is an award-winning manga artist. His real name is Takahiro Sakuishi (作石貴浩 Sakuishi Takahiro?). Sakuishi has a wide variety of interests which include baseball (he is a huge Chunichi Dragons fan), martial arts, 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. Additionally, he’s a big fan of Sangokushi (Romance of the Three Kingdoms) with a warped version of that story appearing in BECK written by Christy Sakuishi.
