Taiy? Matsumoto
(
Japanese
:
松本 大洋
,
Hepburn
:
Matsumoto Taiy?
, born October 25, 1967)
is a Japanese
manga artist
.
Career
[
edit
]
Matsumoto was born in
Tokyo
. Originally, he wanted to become a soccer player, but changed to artist as an occupation instead. After his initial success in the Comic Open contest, he began touring France in 1986, an event that became a significant point in his career.
[9]
Matsumoto published his first manga in 1987 at the age of 20 in
Kodansha
's
Morning
magazine. While he published a few works there, he didn't gain enough popularity and was eventually not able to publish anymore in big magazines like Morning. Instead, he came in contact with Yasuki Hori, editor at
Shogakukan
, who pushed him to draw a manga about boxing, which became
Zero
and was published in the magazine
Big Comic Spirits
between 1990 and 1991.
[10]
In 1993, he began work on the
Tekkonkinkreet
manga, which became a success in the
Big Spirits
magazine, and published a series of short stories in a collection called
Nihon no Kyodai
that was publicized at the time by
Comic Are
magazine.
Ping Pong
appeared in
Big Spirits
in 1996, soon followed by the series
No. 5
in Shogakukan's
Monthly Ikki
magazine in 2000.
[9]
[11]
The
Tekkonkinkreet
anime
was released in Japan in late 2006, and both the anime and manga have been published in English.
[12]
Style
[
edit
]
The manga he produced covers a variety of topics, from
sports manga
to family comedies to science fiction epics. Manga critic
Natsume Fusanosuke
divided his manga series in 2021 into different distinct categories: Manga like
Zero
,
Hanaotoko
and
Ping Pong
that work within the artistic framework of
sh?nen manga
and
seinen manga
and that were developed with the pressure of editors in mind that wanted him to fit into the industry's standards. However,
dystopian science-fiction
manga like
Tekkonkinkreet
and
No. 5
as well as the autobiographical orphanage story
Sunny
in a lot of ways break with many conventions of the manga industry's norms. Fusanosuke analyzes that these manga follow a path that has been developed after the success of
Katsuhiro Otomo
and are influenced by French
bande dessinee
.
[10]
His work is seen as "
meta
manga", often criticizing the genres within which they operate.
[10]
Matsumoto draws free-hand, with sketchy wavering lines. He often uses extreme
close-ups
with perspectives inspired by a
fisheye lens
, which creates a cinematic effect. He also experiments with
panel
composition, using it for example in
Ping Pong
to evoke the feeling of speed.
[13]
Matsumoto has cited
Moebius
,
Enki Bilal
,
Katsuhiro Otomo
,
Shotaro Ishinomori
and Tsuchida Seiki as influences on his work.
[14]
He has been influenced by the
New Wave
movement in manga.
[15]
Reception
[
edit
]
Ping Pong
and
Blue Spring
have been adapted into live-action feature films. Animation studio
Studio 4°C
adapted
Tekkonkinkreet
into an animated feature film, it was released in Japan in late 2006, and both the anime and manga have been published in English.
Matsumoto influenced younger manga artists like
Daisuke Igarashi
.
[16]
He has won several awards, including the
Shogakukan Manga Award
, the
Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize
and
Eisner Award
:
Personal life
[
edit
]
Matsumoto's wife is manga artist
Saho Tono
, who collaborated with him on
Sunny
.
[26]
He is the cousin of
Santa Inoue
, another manga artist.
