Kentaro Miura

出生: July 11, 1966 – Chiba, Chiba Prefecture, Japan

Kentaro Miura was a Japanese manga artist best known for Berserk, a landmark dark-fantasy series exploring violence, trauma, fate, and ambition. Serialized from 1989, Berserk sold more than 60 million copies worldwide and influenced manga, anime, and games. Miura received the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize’s Excellence Award in 2002.

传记与作者历程

Kentaro Miura was a Japanese manga artist and writer whose career combined classical draftsmanship, pulp energy, and unusually serious moral imagination. Born in 1966 in Chiba, he showed an interest in drawing from childhood and began making manga at an early age. As a young artist he developed quickly enough to attract notice before adulthood, and he later studied at Nihon University’s College of Art, where his technical confidence and command of page design became more visible. Early professional work, including collaborations outside his best-known series, helped sharpen his sense of pacing, violence, and psychological tension. The decisive turning point came at the end of the 1980s, when he began the work that would define his life.

Other than anime and Hakusensha-related events, I've come this far without even a single autograph session, let alone the 10th or 20th anniversary. I don't even have a Twitter or a blog, so I can't help myself if people ask me 'what's going on as a manga artist in this day and age, seriously.'

But this 30th anniversary is different. In addition to the exhibition of the original drawings that have accumulated, the staff, who have developed a crazy love for Berserk, are going to create a fun "Eclipse Land."
