Description

Karasu Tengu Kabuto est un manga de fantasy historique créé par Buichi Terasawa, sérialisé dans Fresh Jump entre 1987 et 1988, et publié en deux volumes tankōbon.
L’histoire suit le légendaire Kabuto, qui possède le sang du Karasu Tengu. Chargé de vaincre Kuroyasha Dōki, Kabuto combat aux côtés de quatre ninjas sacrés; Genbu, Suzaku, Seiryū et Byakko en utilisant à la fois des pouvoirs mystiques et des arts martiaux.
Le manga a été adapté en une série télévisée de 39 épisodes diffusée sur la NHK entre juillet 1990 et juin 1991.
Avec Karasu Tengu Kabuto, Terasawa revisite des thèmes traditionnels japonais et mêle fantasy médiévale, action ninja et éléments surnaturels.
Terasawa était reconnu pour sa participation active aux adaptations animées de ses œuvres, notamment Karasu Tengu Kabuto et Space Adventure Cobra.
Contrairement à beaucoup d'autres auteurs, Terasawa s’impliquait directement dans le processus de production : il supervisait l’animation, travaillait sur les storyboards et dessinait parfois lui-même des plans ou des séquences clés

Comment

Il est évident que Cobra est le manga et l’anime le plus célèbre et incontournable de Buichi Terasawa. Cependant, les planches originales, les genga et les dōga de Cobra sont des pièces haut de gamme à prix élevé.
Ces dōga de Kabuto proviennent directement de l’héritage de Terasawa et restent encore relativement abordables.

About Buichi Terasawa

In the early days of his career, while still unknown, Terasawa contributed comics to a magazine that won him a prize, an event that led him deeper into the world of comics. In 1976 he moved to Tokyo and began to study under the famous Japanese manga artist, Osamu Tezuka. During the period he worked with the Manga Department of Tezuka Productions, his illustration work entitled "Mother Earth, Turn Green Again" was awarded the Tezuka Award. In 1977, he began drawing for Weekly Shōnen Jump, a Japanese manga publication. From around the beginning of the 1980s, he began to see the personal computer as a tool for the creative purposes. In 1985, he kicked off an eight-color comic book series called "BAT". In the ensuing years, in parallel with advances in the personal computer, he created "TAKERU" (1992), the world's first computer graphics comic book series. Next came "COBRA", "BAT" and "GUNDRAGON SIGMA" (In this latter series, only the main character is drawn by hand) and several other works. His works include original works, scenarios and works he has directed. Representative works include a CD-ROM format work for use with a PC, "COBRA II, A Man of Legend" and original animation videos such as "GOKU", "GOKU II", "Raven Tengu Kabuto" and others. Buichi Terasawa's works are translated and published in more than ten countries.
