Career
His real name is Tomoaki Saito (斉藤 智昭, Saitō Tomoaki). He joined Dynamic in 1970. His debut was in 1971 with the manga Hyakuen Byoin (１００円病院) in the Bessatsu Shonen Magazine of Kodansha.
He was one of the first manga artists known outside Japan thanks to his collaborations in the magazines Heavy Metal with Being a Guy Is All True Grit (Otoko wa Dokyo, 男は度胸), and Epic Illustrated with Heart and Steel (which is one of the first manga published in English and also probably the first manga specifically created for the United States market).
His most representative work is Chijo Saikyo no Otoko: Ryu (地上最強の男 竜).
