What are the master cartoonists in Japan at present?

I. Miyazaki Hayao

1963, graduated from Miyazaki Hayao University and entered the animation work of Dongying. The first work involved in the production was the theatrical animation "Wan Wan Zhong Chen Tibet", which was released in June 5438+February of the same year. Then Miyazaki Hayao participated in the first TV animation "Wolf Child Ken" produced by Dongying for the first time.

197 1 year, Miyazaki Hayao left Toyo Animation to work in A-Pro with Takada (Huotian) Xun and Yoichi Oda. 1973, the animation Panda co-produced by him and Takada was released.

1978, Miyazaki Hayao's first work was broadcast on NHK, which was well received. This film shows Miyazaki Hayao's thoughts and style greatly. 1979 entered the Tokyo Film News Agency, and 1980 directed "The City of Kalliostolo of Lubang III" (theatrical version), which once again showed the adventurous film style of "future teenagers". 1982 The long cartoon "Valley of the Wind" began to be serialized in Animage magazine of Dede Bookstore, and this cartoon was serialized to 1994. 1982165438+10, quit Tokyo Film News Agency and became a freelance writer.

1March, 984, the cinema animation "Valley of the Wind" was released, which was rich in imagination and profound in content, and shocked the audience and the whole film industry. In April, Miyazaki Hayao and Gao Tianxun formed the "Two Horses" Club in partnership.

Studio Ghibli was founded on 1985. (The name Ghibli actually means "hot wind blowing from the Sahara desert". During World War II, Italian Air Force pilots also named their reconnaissance plane Ghibli. Miyazaki Hayao is a flying machine freak, of course he knows about it, so he decided to use "Ghibli" as the name of their studio. Behind this name, there is another meaning, that is, I hope this studio can set off a whirlwind in the Japanese animation industry! ), so I started making "City of the Sky". Miyazaki Hayao has been working in Studio Ghibli since City in the Sky. So far, My Neighbor Totoro, The Witch's Home Delivery, The Red Pig, Valley of the Heart, Take Your Places, The Ghost Princess, etc. have been produced one after another.

magnum opus

1. Valley of the Wind-This film caused a great sensation when it was released in 1984, and Miyazaki Hayao's excellent reputation was also laid from this period. The movie version of The Wind is adapted from Miyazaki Hayao's comic book of the same name. Because of the busy work, the comic monthly serial of German bookstore was not completed until 1994, which lasted 12 years.

2. City in the sky-a film adapted from Jonathan Swift's novel Gulliver's Travels. Some people think its story is more traditional, but that doesn't mean it is not original. On the contrary, drama day is full of many new elements. The film almost perfectly depicts the landscape of the world where the story takes place, which is a bit sci-fi, a bit mythical, and a bit of the industrial revolution in the European era, such as the old train on the elevated track, the dark mine, the flying boat, the robot like clay sculpture and so on. ...

The tense plot runs through the whole movie, but the blue sky and thick white clouds make the sharp conflict more intriguing; The performance of characters often depends not on the lines, but on the specific actions of the characters, which makes the character more profound. This may be the reason why it can attract children and even adults to sit down and watch animated movies for two hours. We have to admit that Miyazaki Hayao has this ability.

3. The Battle of Hirai-In the eyes of the Japanese, civet cats are mysterious animals. They will use the illusion of a smoke screen. Their bodies can be turned into any shape, or leaves can be turned into money to deceive people. In this film, a new community construction project started in Tama New Town, underground of Tokyo, and civets were driven out of their homes. They want to revive the chemistry handed down from ancient times and use this illusion to scare people, so as to shelve the project and challenge them. They recruited elders from all directions and decided to implement the plan of "monsters don't fight"

In the plot, civet cats set off very fast, but before they set off, they became upright on their feet. It will be very interesting for the audience to see them here. In fact, the atmosphere of this work is mainly humorous. Although the image of a civet cat that was run over by a car appeared, it immediately returned to the main tone.

4. Spirited Away —— In the Adventures of Alice in Miyazaki Hayao, modern Japan first appeared as a stage for Miyazaki Hayao's animation. All kinds of ghosts Chihiro encountered in the dreamland have a symbolic direction in today's Japan-Don Popo, a witch, a hot spring operator who is obsessed with money and indulges her children, and a dereliction of duty mother. Spend money at will, don't respect the existence of others, and the character is like a child who lacks thinking rationality. Xiaobai, a teenager with complex personality, has both smart and cold personality.

5. The Witch's Housekeeping Assistant —— The original work is Eiko Kadono, a Japanese woman writer who won the International Andersen Prize. After Miyazaki Hayao's animation skills, she once again brought the audience into a wonderful world.

6. "Red Pig"-set in Italy in the 1920s, it is also a background and music with European flavor. In order to show the customs of Europe more truly, the production committee made a field trip to the Adriatic coast. Mid-term scene, Adriatic dusk, dotted with Porgo's red planes in the distance, the picture is very attractive! This is an autobiographical film by Miyazaki Hayao. Miyazaki Hayao describes himself as the hero of the film, Porgo, and imagines his secular and involuntary contradictions as the legendary story of Porgo. In fact, in the secular world, how many people are not involuntarily?

7. Princess Ghost —— Miyazaki Hayao regards "man" and "nature" as two extremes that can never compromise with each other, and thinks that human beings must destroy nature in order to survive. In this film, Ashitaka once struggled between man and god in order to coordinate the peace between the two sides, but in the end it was also a tragic ending, and both man and god lost. Ashitaka also said: "I have tried my best to stop it, but I finally failed." However, whether the problem of coexistence between man and nature can be solved or not, the first thing human beings should do is to survive.

Paradise is the Red River, with the ancient Hittite Empire on the ancient Mesopotamian plain as the historical background. Hittite Empire is a country that rose in Turkey in the 10th century BC, with Hadosha as its capital, worshiping Sumerian gods, infiltrating with neighboring Egypt and the cultures of the two places, and constantly fighting. This magical and legendary country has the same splendid civilization as Egypt, but there are few records in history, which gave it to Shinohara, Qian Hui. However, the buildings and costumes in her cartoons are also very close to the customs of Hitato Empire in history.

short story

Legend of the night, hunting at night and so on.

Won the 32nd Comic Book Award of 1987 Primary School with a movie "Phantom Purple Light" (that is, "Girl with Purple Eyes"), which became an instant hit. Since then, he has been active on the stage of Japanese girl comics and has become one of the ace authors of the magazine "Girl Comics" in the primary school. The picture is very dynamic and the story is quite magical. Not only has a huge readership in Japan, but also conquered the hearts of countless girls from Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland China. Although Jin Jing's serial Paradise is the Red River Bank (published in volume 18) is considered to be a copy of Daughter of the Nile. But it is very popular and has been famous in the sales charts for three or four years in a row.

Three. Osamu Tezuka (male)

Birthday1928165438+1October 3rd.

a blood type

Scorpius

Place of birth: Toyoshi City, Osaka Prefecture

Real name Osamu Tezuka

It can be said that without this person, there would be no Japanese comic industry today, so people call him "the God of Comics". Fujiko, Shotaro Ishinomori, Leiji Matsumoto and Fujio Akatsuka. Is a cartoonist who worships him. Of course, more people are influenced by these cartoonists. Having personally experienced the war, he knew the value of life, so he began to practice medicine until he got his doctorate. But his natural hobby finally made him choose the career he yearned for-comics.

His works include: three-eyed boy, firebird, astro boy, forest emperor, fossil island, sapphire prince, metropolis and insects on the earth.

Introduction to the work:

The Three-Eyed Boy was a popular movie in 1980s. The three-eyed tribe with a high degree of ancient civilization became extinct for unknown reasons. Middle school students wrote songs and introduced them as one of the survivors. When his third eye was wrapped with tape, he was just a timid child who was often bullied, but when the tape was torn off, he turned back to the original evil guy with extraordinary IQ. ...

No matter the quality, quantity or scale, the translation of Firebird is the pinnacle of Osamu Tezuka's works and a permanent classic in Japanese comic works. The works absorb a lot of fairy tales, legends and historical facts, and show readers different attitudes towards life and death in different times, with unprecedented brushstrokes and profound themes. The author skillfully combines the vast novels with experimental expressions, making it an immortal pioneer in the history of Japanese comic development.

Due to the unfortunate death of the author, this work was not completed. A lot of theatrical animation and OVA were released, which were adapted into TV animation with the word 13 in 2004.

I like keeping pets, watching videos, playing TV toys and listening to music.

Representative work: 1. "The Incredible Game"-Xicheng Meizhu is a junior in the country, preparing to take the senior high school entrance examination, and intends to enter a difficult school. I study hard every day. One day, Zhu Mei finished reading in the library, but she accidentally found Four Gods and Heaven, so she fell into this story book. 2. It's definitely Peter's, 3. Dream Girl.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) Tsusaka Kita

Birthday:1March 5, 959

Place of birth: Kitakyushu, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan

Tsukusaka's painting style is very realistic, with a strong sense of modernity, and the movement and texture are perfectly integrated. Humor is one of the characteristics of Tsukusaka's cartoons, which is vividly shown in City Hunter. In addition to being crazy and funny, another great advantage of Tsusaka Kitano comics is the delicate and touching emotional picture, which makes people memorable. This is the main reason why his cartoons can attract readers for a long time.

Following "City Hunter", Kitajo Tsugare published some works with serious themes. The author seems to want his comics to develop to a higher level, not just to have entertainment effects. This change of style is best reflected in three works: Sunshine Girl, Summer of that year and Girl's Season. The most touching and shocking thing was that summer. This cartoon consists of several independent short stories, but each short story revolves around the theme of "the war destroyed the dreams of young people", vividly depicting the desire of teenagers to realize their dreams, the helplessness when they were involved in the war, and the pain when their dreams were destroyed, which made people deeply feel the evil of war.

The so-called gender-neutral theory of love seems to have become a creative trend of girl cartoonists at the end of the century. Tsukasa Hojo, who specializes in drawing cartoons for teenagers, actually joined in the fun and launched his "Unusual Family", which describes the family life of a couple whose sex is reversed. Although this work is not as legendary as the other two novels Cat's Eye and City Hunter, it still has a strong Tsuzaka Hojo style in the coexistence of warmth and mischief. "Extraordinary Family" is not as romantic and unrealistic as a girl cartoon with the same theme. The author maintains the realistic emotional description style, which is a real touch. Although some people disapprove of this cartoon showing homosexual tendencies and gender inversion, it does not affect its popularity. The Extraordinary Family has been a frequent visitor to TOP 10 for teenagers since it was serialized.

At the end of the century, the charm of the northern article of Tsusaka remained undiminished. Because there are many cartoonists whose works have become an instant hit, there are not many cartoonists who can maintain the high-level creative momentum for more than ten years. 18 years' achievement makes him well-deserved among those unforgettable comic masters.

Mint relationship

Take a walk together

From Beauty in the Silver Sea (translated as Handsome Girlfriend) to Magical Students (translated as Magical Lovers), each of her works is as fresh and pleasant as the breeze in the early summer morning, with sweet fruit fragrance.

Mint Relationship is a "campus comedy for junior high school students". Wataru Yoshizumi likes drawing jokes and cartoons very much, and doesn't involve anything that makes people feel heavy. In short, readers will have the last laugh with the Ye Nan twins. Some settings in Mint Relationship are also funny: Novi and Maria's father and Athena Chu's father in love are only twins! The reason for this setting, Wataru Yoshizumi replied, is that twins are very interesting, and secondly, they kill two birds with one stone without considering the faces of new people and middle-aged people. Well, should I say she is smart or lazy? Teacher Wataru Yoshizumi said, "This time I want to describe this happy and naive story easily, so I always remind myself not to describe it too seriously. 」

Seven. Yasumi Kurita

Birthday:1953 65438+February 6th.

Place of birth: Central District of Tokyo

Constellation: Pisces

Blood type: type a.

Hobbies: music, fishing.

The most annoying thing: talking.

Debut: female storm

Masterpieces: Saint saint seiya, Enchanter Kojiro, Quiet Warrior-Xiang, B 'TX Iron Warrior.

Saint seiya the Saint (all 28 volumes) was selected by famous Japanese publishing houses as one of the 15 classics that Japan should not miss in the 20th century. In that year, the animation "Saint saint seiya" adapted from Masami Kurumada's masterpiece "Saint of Goddess" was broadcast nationwide, making a sensation. The inspiration for the creation of this work comes from a document called Meteors in the Lion Constellation. Masami Kurumada saw a meteor falling from the sky, which triggered the concept of a saint. Originally, the protagonist saint seiya wanted to use Leo, but after several adjustments, he finally decided to use Pegasus. Because it is more appropriate to take the meaning of unconstrained style. As for the original intention of the "Lions Meteor Group", it still stays in the stunt of saint seiya, a saint. The name of Saint saint seiya comes from the sacred arrow, sacred arrow.

Masami Kurumada chose 10 from 88 constellations as a bronze saint, and designed the role according to the characteristics of each constellation. Zilong's sacred clothes have the strongest fist and the strongest shield. This is inspired by the story of China's "spear and shield". The concept of glacier is slightly different from other concepts. Later, opinions from all sides were integrated to create a glacier with a permanently frozen ice wall.

Genesis II (Volume 1) was selected as "the most wonderful 14 classic war volume in Japan in the 20th century" by the famous Japanese publishing house, Jiyingshe.

BTX Iron Warrior is just another excellent work by Masami Kurumada to depict a strong, persistent, independent and fearless fighter after saint seiya, a Saint.

1987, published by Chaos Horse 1/2. Luanma 1/2, as a companion piece of Fuxing boy, not only retains the advantages of the former, but also develops and improves than before, which is really better. In addition, the animation of the same name is also broadcast on TV, which makes a lot of noise at home and abroad and fascinates readers.

From the perspective of painting skills, Rumiko Takahashi tried to imitate Osamu Tezuka in the early days, and then gradually formed his own style. This change can be seen clearly in the volumes before and after the revival of the boy.

Among many famous Japanese cartoonists, Shimizu Reiko is probably the most mysterious one.

She hardly ever attends any public social occasions. The only person in contact with her is the editor of the magazine. She never signs her name, never takes photos in public or publishes in magazines, and hardly accepts any forms of interviews ... It can be said that all her personal data is almost zero. You can imagine how difficult it is to make a color picture book of Shimizu Reiko. Fortunately, Shimizu Reiko we want to introduce is a cartoonist, not an idol, so what we want to introduce is not her private life, but her works. What we want to show is not a photo, but beautiful and colorful paintings.

Lala was founded in 1979, and debuted in February with Trident Story. Jack & Avery series, Moonlight Fantasy and other works are very popular as original science fiction. And there are many enthusiasts who have transparent color image inserts. At present, The Story of Hui Ye serialized in Lala is also well received.

Shimizu Reiko has always been a very controversial cartoonist. Since the short story "The Story of Sanchakou" came out, her short stories have been well received by all kinds of readers for their elaborate production and ingenious story arrangement. Her novels Moonlight, Monsters and Dragons, and Hui Ye Ji are not only well received, but also criticized by many readers. Especially in Hui Ye Ji, many readers accuse its story clues of being too complicated and unreasonable in setting the future world. Therefore, Shimizu Reiko's novels are often nominated for the annual Toastmasters Girls' Comic Book Award, but they always miss the grand prize in the end and regret it. In contrast, Shimizu Reiko's short cartoons won many awards. The short stories 22XX and The Evolution of Angels are still highly praised by many readers.
