About the author

Kazuo Koike (小池一夫, Koike Kazuo) was a prolific Japanese manga writer, novelist and entrepreneur.

Early in Koike's career, he studied under Golgo 13 creator Takao Saito and served as a writer on the series.

Koike, along with artist Goseki Kojima, made the manga Kozure Okami (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 Ryoichi Ikegami, was adapted into a 1995 live-action film by French director Christophe Gans.

Kazuo Koike started the Gekika Sonjuku, a college course meant to teach people how to be mangaka.

In addition to his more violent, action-oriented manga, Koike, an avid golfer, has also written golf manga.

Reviews

[Angel 一匹狼]

A really good volume that starts with the wolf and the cub still on separate worlds and develops in an engaging and thoroughly enjoyable manner, volume 8 of "Lone Wolf and Cub" keeps the good quality of the series, even if, as always, there is some repetition in its motives and the development of the episodes. Luckily for us, we get a long story in which our wolf 'sides' with some farmers against some powerful lord and his samurai, in which is probably the best episode so far of the series.

If you like the previous volumes, you will keep enjoying the series.

7.5/10

Koike y Kojima construyen una obra de arte violenta, pero en este mundo también hay gente mundana, y vida cotidiana más allá de la escabechina habitual del Sr. Ogami, lo que hace de esto un disfrute completo.

[JaumeMuntane]

Dos buenas aventuras en solitario ("señales del infierno" con Itto Ogami y "la estrella enferma" con Daigoro) que confluyen en una excelente historia que marca su reencuentro ("las trece cuerdas"). Gran tomo con muy buenas historias.

[Mingo Lee]

So exceptional comic
