Timeline
Daijiro Morohoshi (諸星 大二郎) is a Japanese manga artist.
He is well known for science fiction comics, allegorical comics and horror/mystery comics based on pseudohistory and folklore.
The indirect influence by Cthulhu Mythos also appears here and there in his works.
Morohoshi grew up in Adachi-ku, Tokyo.
After graduating from high school, he worked for the Tokyo metropolitan government for three years.
In 1970, Morohoshi made his professional debut with his short story "Junko Kyōkatsu" (ジュン子・恐喝) in COM.
For this reason, manga critics have considered him to be part of a New Wave of manga artists in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
In 1974, his short story "Seibutsu Toshi" (生物都市) was selected in the 7th Tezuka Award.
His breakthrough came in the same year, when he started publishing the series Yōkai Hunter (妖怪ハンター) in Weekly Shōnen Jump.
He published Ankoku Shinwa (暗黒神話) and Kōshi Ankokuden (孔子暗黒伝) in the same magazine afterwards.
In 1979, he published the Mud Men series in Monthly Shōnen Champion Zōkan.
Miyazaki mentioned that he was strongly influenced by Morohoshi.
In 1983, he published Saiyū Yōenden (西遊妖猿伝) (The Monkey King and other Chinese Legends) based on Journey to the West in Super Action.
His 1997 film Princess Mononoke has references to Mud Men.
When Kentaro Takekuma interviewed Miyazaki, he said that he actually wanted Morohoshi to draw Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.
According to Toshio Okada, who was a former representative director of Gainax, Hideaki Anno always said that he wanted to apply the scene where a giant appeared in Morohoshi's "Kage no Machi" (影の街) to his work, and his hope was realized in Neon Genesis Evangelion.
His style has inspired also musicians.
Morohoshi's Mud Men triggered Haruomi Hosono of Yellow Magic Orchestra, and Hosono wrote "The Madmen" for the album Service.
Hosono said that his production company misspelled "Mudmen" with "Madmen".
This work won him the grand prize of the fourth Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize in 2000.
Morohoshi takes inspiration from ancient history, mythology and folklore, influenced by the essays of Tatsuhiko Shibusawa.
Yōkai Hunter revolves around archeologists discovering strange incidents around Japan, Mad Men shows myths from Papua New Guinea clashing with modernity and Saiyū Yōenden is based on the classic Chinese fantasy novel Journey to the West.
His drawing style is inspired by Western artists such as Salvador Dalí, whom he cites as his favaorite painter, but his work also includes references to Hieronymus Bosch, Francisco Goya and Giorgio de Chirico.
Morohoshi's style is perceived as unique in the manga industry.
In a roundtable discussion between Morohoshi, Yukinobu Hoshino and Osamu Tezuka, Tezuka said that he could not imitate Morohoshi's painting.
His work has gained some international attention since the 2000s.
Manga of his have been translated into French and Spanish.
