Kishiro's awesome cover for Valkilly's 2011 album "Revoltest" (Left) reminds me of this RAD Space Karate illustration he did for Ultra Jump in 2009! (Right)

RIP Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto, one of the most talented and explosive fighters to ever step into the ring. He was like a fighting game character come to life, competing at the highest levels of combat sports. He will be missed.

Longtime fans of MMA will recall that during the 2000s Kid Yamamoto was an absolute killer in the ring.
While the stereotype for Asian martial artists is one of stoic honor and discipline, Kid was known for his expolossive athleticism and raw ferocity (as you can see from this flying knee, one of the flashiest KOs of all time)

Found this big bad beetle boi on my porch the other night. It's a Xylotropes Gideon aka Thai fighting beetle (my fav animal)! Looks like our dogs had already found him and roughed him up a bit. He was writhing on his back covered in dirt, but these things are built tough!
I put him in a plastic bin with a longan (we have longan trees in our yard and they're everywhere this time of year). I left the top open so he could leave at any time.
When I checked in the next morning he was still there going to town on the fruit!

Chiang Mai Zoo has world class facilities with happy active animals, an impressive aquarium and a kid's play center with one of the best collections of Seinen Manga I've ever seen. No joke!
At the Chiang Mai Zoo Kid's Zone you can catch up on ultra violent martial arts classics like Fist of the North Star, Baki the Grappler and Tough.
Check this out. The Chiang Mai Zoo Kid's Zone also has a shockingly robust selection of Ken Ishikawa comics including Gokudou Heiki (Lethal Weapon--no relation to the movie). It is a WEIRD comic!

Captain Mizuki's watermelon crushing antics were likely inspired by real life elite athlete and entrepreneur Kortney Olsen (@KortneyOlson) who can perform this feat of strength in real life!

Captain Mizuki's chipper personality, warm-up routine, expertise at pole vaulting and perfect abs might also be inspired by Allison Stokke (@allisonstokke) a professional pole vaulter and fitness model.

I love how Yukito Kishiro still maintains a personal website!

Yukito.com

No Twitter! No Facebook! Just a beautiful, informative, fun to browse HTML site full of awesome illustations and GREAT insights into his work!
#銃夢 #Alita #AlitaBattleAngel #Gunnm
If you're a fan of Yukito Kishiro's work then you gotta head over to his gallery! Every Illustration has a detailed description of what went into it. For instance here he details his creation of the "bat-tuba," an instrument made for Cyborg Rock Music!
