Profile

author
Rokutaku Sakamoto

Originally from Kyoto, currently living in Adachi Ward. I work as a vocational school instructor while also working as a manga and illustrator. When I was little, I became fascinated with yokai (monsters) due to the influence of the TV anime Gegege no Kitaro (3rd season). In the 1980s, classic urban legends like Kokkuri-san and Hanako-san were all the rage, and with the popularity of ghost shows and books at the time, I became completely immersed in the occult. My hobby is mainly drawing yokai, but I also draw illustrations for books, games, advertisements, etc. I get excited about working on a serious psychic job, but my daughter in her third year of junior high school and my son in his first year of junior high school say it's "too scary" and are extremely unhappy with it...
