Seiji Matsuyama

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Seiji Matsuyama (松山 せいじ, Matsuyama Seiji, born April 28, 1975) is a Japanese manga artist from Fukuoka Prefecture. He is known for drawing many works featuring women with extremely large breasts, and he himself refers to himself as a "boobie manga artist" in his doujinshi and other publications. He is married to fellow manga artist Sayu Matsuyama (松山 紗夕, Matsuyama Sayu).

History[edit]

Matsuyama graduated from Fukuoka Daiichi High School and Yoyogi Animation Academy's Manga and Comic Professional Training Course.[1] In 1994, he made his debut in Tokuma Shoten's Monthly MANGA BØYS[2] and serialized his best-known work Eiken in Akita Shoten's Weekly Shōnen Champion in 2001. He also publishes doujinshi (completely new works, derivative works of The Idolmaster and other series, and spin-offs of existing works, including Eiken) under his own name (as an individual, but without a specific circle name).

In addition to his own works, he created the cover illustration for the Idolmaster comic anthology vol. 1 (Ichijinsha). He also drew an illustration for the introduction article of the Xbox 360 version of The Idolmaster in Weekly Shōnen Champion (issue #8, 2007).

As a result of a friendly relationship with Masahiko Ishikawa, a railfan[3] and one of the creators of "Railworks" in Shogakukan, he created a manga about a female railfan, Tetsuko na Sanshimai, among others.

After working on Yuritetsu, which was in the same genre, Matsuyama changed his drawing style to a more shōjo manga-like touch, and began to expand his artistic style. His favorite station is Umi-no-Nakamichi Station (former station)[4] on the Kashii Line, and his favorite Shinkansen is the 800 series.[5]

On November 11, 2008, Matsuyama married Aine Kazuki (later known as Sayu Matsuyama), who drew storyboards for KimiKiss: After Days.[6]
