YUICHI YOKOYAMA

Artist and manga creator. Born in Miyazaki Prefecture in 1967. Graduated from the Department of Painting at Musashino Art University.

His unique works, later dubbed "neo-manga," have garnered high acclaim across various fields. He is also currently active as a contemporary artist. His publications include "New Doboku," "Travel," "NIWA," "Baby Boom," and "The Room of World Maps" (all published by East Press), "Outdoor" (Kodansha), and "Room" (Harmonica Books), as well as the art book "Yuichi Yokoyama Color Painting Collection" (Bluemark). His works have also been translated and published in Western countries.
