Hisashi Eguchi is known for his female character illustrations and fashion awareness.
Eguchi began drawing at an early age, fascinated by the then-starting Japanese TV broadcasting.[2] He got to know manga through Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy. During his childhood, other superheroes like Ultraman and Ultra Seven also gripped him.
In 1977, he won the Young Jump award (Twelve Newcomers Manga Award[ja 4] since 2003) for Osorubeki Kodomotachi[ja 5]. That same year, his Hachi-jihan no Kettō[ja 6] was a finalist at Akatsuka. The publication of Hisashi's baseball manga Susume!! Pirates followed in 1979 as a reward for winning the Young Jump contest.
After deciding to become a professional manga artist, Eguchi began drawing female characters: "I thought it was strange not to have girls. Also, I knew that it would be popular if the girls were cute."[2] In the animation field, he worked as a character designer for Roujin Z,Mujin Wakusei Survive, and Otaku no Seiza and had the anime Eguchi Hisashi no Kotobuki Goro Show based on his work. Eguchi used his now current wife as a model for Roujin Z's Haruko.[2]Perfect Blue characters were based on Hisashi's designs.[3] In 1990, the short story manga collection Nantoka Narudesho![ja 7] was adapted into an OVA, which mixed anime, live action and puppetry. Eguchi (on his favorite scene)“[Nantoka Narudesho] was a story of a blind girl, and it’s dark all the way through. The dark scene continues for a long period of time. I heard that animator had a hard time. It was all black and he used various ideas for that."[2]
Eguchi has stated that American pop art has been an influence on his work, citing artists such as Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol.[2] He has also cited European cartoonists Moebius and Hergé as figures who have influenced his work.[4] Eguchi describes his style as simple: "I like to use organized lines. The less lines the better".[2]
In 1994, Eguchi founded Comic Cue, an alternative[5] yearly manga magazine: "I wanted to make something like the all-star game in baseball. Or Avengers. All-hero, I wanted to have a festival of Avengers. All the heroes! With all my favorite artists".[2]Katsuhiro Otomo was a contributor to the first issue.[6]
