About The Author

Shirow Masamune

Shirow Masamune was born in Chuo Ward, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, on November 23rd, 1961. He still lives in the same district. In 1983, Masamune published his first manga, “Black Magic” from Atlas, a science fiction dojin manga society. In 1985, his first major work, “Appleseed”, was published by Seishinsha, without being serialized or submitted to a manga magazine. Shortly thereafter, Shirow set up his own company, and besides working on his own manga and illustration work, took on projects from the anime and game industry. Shirow’s work has been recognized and highly respected outside Japan. He has been active in numerous anime and game projects but it is rare for him to take the helm of such projects, or even to have his name used prominently.
