Biographie de l'auteur :

Born in Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture, Japan, in 1966, Kentaro Miura showed an early interest in art and comics. His first manga, Miuranger, created at age ten for his classmates, spanned forty volumes. In high school Miura continued to create more manga, including several printed in amateur publications (called doujinshi). While attending art school at Nihon University, Miura's Futanabi, a manga he had created in 1985 and submitted for college admission, was published in Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine and was nominated for Best New Author Work. Miura's Noa also saw the pages of Weekly Shonen Magazine, but was cancelled. During this period. Miura created the introduction to his signature dark fantasy world, Berserk Protoype, winning a prize from the Comi Manga School. In 1989 Miura collaborated with writer Buronson, author of Fist of the North Star, on the project King of Wolves, published in Animal House from Hakusensha. A sequel followed in 1990, and in October of that same year, the first chapters of Berserk appeared to little fanfare in the renamed Young Animal. Miura and Buronson again teamed up in 1992 for the series Japan, also in Young Animal. Berserk's popularity began to grow with the release of "The Golden Age" story arc and became a major hit, and Miura became one of the vanguard of contemporary manga authors. With the exception of his Giganto Maxia standalone project published in 2013, Miura has devoted his creative efforts to Berserk, the ongoing series now reaching an astounding forty collected volumes in Japan and selling over forty million copies internationally. Berserk has spawned TV and film anime series, art books, music, games, toys, and merchandise. Miura supervised twenty-five episodes of the 1997 anime television series and contributed to the 2004 Dreamcast video game, Sword of the Berserk : Guts' Rage.
