Takashi Nemoto

[1] Nemoto was born in Tokyo, He has been drawing since childhood, with themes and obsessions that will remain consistent until maturity: one of his first manga stories, from the third grade, showed the emperor Hirohito beaten in public baths and eventually forced to pee in his pants.

Bored and uninspired by the contemporary popular manga that surrounded him, unaware of underground innovations, Nemoto at the age of thirteen stopped drawing.

His random discovery of"Jonetsu no Penguin Gohan" (さよならペンギン) [2] by Teruhiko Yumura, in the late seventies, rekindled his enthusiasm for manga.

Create two characters, the selfish Sakigi Yoshida and the passive Toukishi Murata, who embody the two extremes of the human being and, through them, vents trying to be as vulgar as possible.

His most famous and controversial works have been collected in the "Monster Men Bureiko Lullaby" anthology, originally published in Japan in 1990, and translated into English by PictureBox in 2008.
