Toshio Okazaki is a Japanese illustrator known for his distinctive pop culture art from the 1960s and 1970s, such as his unique interpretations of Western world characters like Batman. His style blends Japanese illustration techniques with superhero imagery, making his work stand out during the height of Japan's interest in American pop culture.

In addition to Batman, Okazaki also created science fiction and monster-themed art, including illustrations of Ultra Monsters from the Ultraman series. His work appeared in publications like the JCA Annual 5 (1984), which showcased notable commercial art from Japan.

It’s rare to find any Batmanga art and yes, almost everybody is looking for Jiro Kuwata’s Batman but this, to me, is the next best thing !
