What they do is they pick up some high school graduates and they train them for a couple of months and let them do the work and their work is most likely to be pornographic because those are the easy stories and they sell well."●On his work"I don't only intend to express my thoughts or theories to what I write, but I do intend to think together through this medium what we can do to improve the situation"●On the animation of Akira"The process is totally different but I worked closely with enthusiastic animators and it worked really well."●On his ideas "I find more freedom right wherever I like to write. There are not regulations in Japan on what to do and what not to do in terms of comic writing. I am more influenced by American movies, which I think are more violent than anything I see in japan."●On America"I envy artist in America because they have much better recognitions. If I had the opportunity I'll like to do something for the American market and work with the American people.
