Taiyo Matsumoto is a critically acclaimed manga artist whose unique fusion of European comics influence and Japanese storytelling has produced genre-defying works like Tekkonkinkreet, Ping Pong, and Sunny. His scratchy, expressive linework and emotionally layered narratives explore themes of youth, memory, and transformation. Matsumoto’s characters navigate liminal spaces—between innocence and corruption, fantasy and realism—with visual boldness and deep empathy.
