KITAGAWA Shou

Japanese Name: きたがわ翔

Place of Birth: Shizuoka, Japan

Gender: Male

Information for Authors: Kitagawa, as he describes himself, is a very tall, muscular, dark skinned fellow, and yet he's a major shoujo manga fan (and that caused him some embarrassing moments in bookstores in his high school years). His art reflects the shoujo influence, and yet his stories are tailored for men. He started drawing manga at age 13. Debuted with "Tsuganaga-kun wa gokigen naname" in 1981 on Bessatsu Margaret.
