Keiko Ichiguchi/Orignal drawing for a lead pencil cover. Beautifully executed entirely in graphite. TBE+. 26 X 36 cm Keiko Ichiguchi (1966) is a Japanese woman cartoonist. Even as a child, she showed a boundless passion for manga, especially those by Ryoko Takahashi, and for the world of shojo manga in general. During her teenage years, she actively pursued her love of comics, writing and drawing stories for fanzines (among other things, she enjoyed creating previously unpublished Captain Tsubasa stories!) While still in high school, she decided to take her own creations to amateur manga fairs all over Japan. It was precisely at this time that she felt the urge to turn her passion into a real profession. In 1988, to test her skills, she took part in the prestigious competition organized by the Shogakukan publishing house, and won first prize in the "Beginners" category. The money she won enabled her to finance the end of her university studies (she graduated in Italian language from Osaka University of Foreign Languages) and to take a trip to Italy. Once her talent had been proven, she continued to draw under the pseudonym Keiko Sakisaka. This marked the start of her collaboration with Shogakukan, for whom she produced a number of stories initially published in the magazine "Bessatsu Shojo Comic" and later collected in small monographic volumes. During the same period, she wrote various stories for radio and a travel column for the girls' magazine "Palet". Then, in 1993, she moved to Bologna, where she began working for Kappa Editions. Her first work published in Italy is entitled Beyond the Door. It was produced in collaboration with Andrea Baricordi, Massimiliano De Giovanni and Barbara Rossi. In 1997, she collaborated with the Japanese publishing house Kodansha. It was here that 1945 and America were born, collected in a single volume in 1998 (also published in Italy in 1999 by Star Comics). In 2003, she published a book on the mysteries of Florence in Japan, with Hakusuisha. As part of her collaboration with Kappa Editions, she published Vue sur la cour (1999), Deux (2000), Blue (2001), Avec les yeux ouverts (2002), 1945 (2003) and Pourquoi les Japonais ont les yeux borés (2004). Her new, very Italian series, Peach! and the previously unpublished Hymne aux jeunes filles were published in the first issue of "Keiko World", a biannual magazine devoted entirely to Keiko, where we discover her through text and illustrations. All of this is complemented by invaluable features on Japanese habits and customs.
