Hiroshi Hirata

Hiroshi Hirata

Hiroshi Hirata was a Japanese manga artist best known in the United States for the samurai manga series Satsuma Gishiden, which is published in the United States by Dark Horse Comics. Hirata's works belong to the subset of manga known as "gekiga", and his artwork has a realistic style comparable to Goseki Kojima's work on Lone Wolf and Cub. He was also known for his use of elaborate calligraphy for dialogue, which has been preserved in the American editions of his work.
