I WORSHIP SHIGERU MIZUKI

 

กราบตีน Shigeru Mizuki (1922-2015) เจ้าของหนังสือการ์ตูนที่เป็นที่มาของภาพยนตร์เรื่อง THE BIRTH OF KITARO: MYSTERY OF GEGEGE (2023, Go Koga, Japan, animation, A+30) และเป็นที่มาของภาพยนตร์เกี่ยวกับชีวประวัติของเขาเรื่อง THE WIFE OF GEGEGE (2010, Takuji Suzuki, Japan, A+30)

However, in 1942, he was drafted into the Imperial Japanese Army and sent to New Britain Island in Papua New Guinea. His wartime experiences affected him greatly, as he contracted malaria, watched friends die from battle wounds and disease, and dealt with other horrors of war. Finally, in an Allied air raid, he was caught in an explosion and lost his left arm. Regarding this life-changing event, a November 30, 2015 NHK announcement of his death showed excerpts of a video interview with him at age 80, in which he said that as the only survivor of his unit, he was 'ordered to die' — a prospect he considered ridiculous.


In 1991, he released a short work titled War and Japan (Sensō to Nippon) published in The Sixth Grader, a popular edutainment magazine for young people, detailing the atrocities committed by the Japanese Army during their rampage in China and Korea and is narrated by Nezumi Otoko.[5] The work serves as a counterpoint to revisionist manga like the works of Yoshinori Kobayashi and by extension a way for Mizuki to express his anger at those responsible for all of Japan's victims.
