Description
Senno Knife (千之 ナイフ, Senno Naifu, born September 5, 1960) is a Japanese mangaka renowned for his distinctive blend of horror, eroticism, and surreal fantasy.
He initially used the pen name Yamamoto Kazuto before adopting "Senno Knife," which translates to "A Thousand Knives." This name, originally chosen for his doujinshi work, eventually became his professional alias.
Senno began his career as an assistant to Leiji Matsumoto and Miyako Maki. He made his professional debut in 1981 with the story 'Yukihime' (Snow Princess) in the very first issue of Lemon People, a magazine known for adult-oriented content. Before this, he was, and still is, active in the doujinshi scene.
His artistic influences are diverse, drawing inspiration from surrealist painter Paul Delvaux, filmmaker Tim Burton, expressionist artist Francis Bacon, and horror writer Clive Barker. These influences shape the unique atmosphere and aesthetic of his works. Despite his often shōjo-like illustrations, his narrative structures align more closely with shōnen manga, creating a distinct storytelling style of his own.
He is celebrated for his detailed, aesthetic artwork and enigmatic storytelling, which often delve into bizarre, fantastical themes such as sex, death, demons, dolls, transgender fiction (TSF), and yuri (female-female romance). While many of his stories contain horror elements, he also incorporates humor and parody.
