	[KFCC] Junji Ito Article
		His relationship with Big Comic Spirits Weekly (a thick publication aimed primarily at a young teenage male audience) has since become more regular, with Ito publishing Uzumaki in Spirits starting in 1998 and again running a series in Spirits in 2001 with Gyo.
		Despite the number of movies adapted from Junji Ito's comics and the current release of many of his individual comics in the Horror Collection, it would be a mistake to assume that Ito has gained widespread popularity in Japan.
		Gyo, his most recent comic, is being published second last in the 300+ page Spirits Weekly, his horror collection is only available new at specialty stores or by mail order, much as it is in the United States, and Japanese audiences are still largely unaware of his movies despite the quarterly nature of their release.

	Life at Maison Ikkoku -Manga History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Because Big Comic Spirits is a bi-weekly magazine Takahashi only had to work on two chapters a month instead of four, but she was under an increased workload as it was, because she was writing and drawing Urusei Yatsura in Shonen Sunday throughout Maison Ikkoku's entire run (not an easy feat!!).
		The American distribution rights are handled by Viz Communications, one of the leading manga translation companies which is owned by Shogakukan and as of 2002, Shueisha.
		A comic book was released every month that collected two chapters from the series.

	Uzumaki - Interviews > Junji Ito, pg 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Born July 31, 1963 in Gifu-ken, Japan, Junji Ito was a dental technician and aspiring manga artist when his first "Tomie" manga won the Kazuo Umezu Award in the mid '80s — Umezo, Japan's undisputed "god of horror manga" was one of the judges and Ito was on his way.
		Few, though, expected Ito to become what he is, Japan's reigning horror manga artist and the "new Kazuo Umezu." He became known in particular for his unkillable Tomie series and the more recent (and very popular) Uzumaki (Whirlpool) series which ran in the widely-circulated Big Comic Spirits.
		Q: Horror comics in America are a minor field, although they were once extremely popular in the 1950s.

		1987 was a big year in Takahashi's career because it saw the beginning and ending of her three most well known stories.

		The tale ran from 1998 to 1999 in Shogakukan's Big Comic Spirits, was collected into three volumes, and was quickly made into a successful movie.
		Although the human characters have their share of leering, vacant-eyed maniacs in the freak-show spirit of horror manga, the spiral is ultimately inhuman and unliving and has no personality that can be attacked or understood.
		In that way, it's Lovecraftian, and Lovecraft would approve of the way in which spiral galaxies figure into one story (although Ramsey Campbell's The Voice of the Beach is an even closer match).

	Uzumaki
		Based on the original Uzumaki manga by Junji Ito published in 'Weekly Big Comic Spirits'.
		Those of you who are already au fait with the brilliant manga of Uzumaki (subtitled Spiral Into Horror and released in Europe by Viz Comics) written and drawn by Junji Ito will kind of know what kind of thing to expect - creepy, crazy, innovative, dark and twisted stuff.
		However, taking on the appallingly difficult task of translating it to the big screen is the first-time director Higuchinsky (no, he's not actually Eastern European, but Japanese pretending to be Polish, if you can get your head around such a thing).

	fps: The Magazine of Animation: Black & White movie is a go
		(Actually, they're citing an article in Big Comic Spirits magazine.) It seems like a few errors have been introduced somewhere along the line; that clip is from a four-minute pilot titled Tekkon Kinkreet, which was being directed by Koji Morimoto.
		I saw it while working at Softimage in 1999 or 2000; Arias (who was working for Softimage in Japan at the time) was, if memory serves, acting in the role of a technical consultant and software developer, much the same as he had done for Princess Mononoke (both productions used Softimage software).
		As it happens, the article in SPIRITS was fairly accurate.

		Azumi is based on the manga by Yuu Koyama and was originally presented in Big Comic Spirits in 1994.
		Throughout the shoot, despite the long hours, the actors remained in high spirits, laughing it up during setups, getting serious during takes, and basically just enjoying the chance to add another chapter to the long history of Japanese chambara movies.
