Career

Tomizawa worked as an assistant to Baki the Grappler author Keisuke Itagaki,[1] before publishing his first work as a professional manga artist with the series Uchū Jūbe in the magazine Shōnen Champion.[2]

Style and themes

His manga tend to be short, with sci-fi stories involving children and insects. His art was a fairly standard style for his first series, but starting with Alien 9 it became very distinctive, but with very large eyes and unnatural proportions, and has since been featured in exhibitions including Takashi Murakami's superflat.[3]
