Information for Authors: Early in Koike's career, he studied under Golgo 13 creator Saito Takao and served as a writer on the series. Koike, along with artist Kojima Goseki, made the manga Kozure Ookami (Lone Wolf and Cub), and Koike also contributed to the scripts for the 1970s film adaptations of the series, which starred famous Japanese actor Tomisaburo Wakayama. Koike and Kojima became known as the "Golden Duo" because of the success of Lone Wolf and Cub. Another series written by Koike, Crying Freeman, which was illustrated by Ikegami Ryoichi, was adapted into a 1995 live-action film by French director Christophe Gans.
