Manga creator draws former Japanese Prime Minister using calligraphy pen
In the above video which was posted yesterday, manga creator Mudazumo Naki Kaikaku), an over-the-top version of former Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi. Ohwada typically draws his manga digitally, but here he uses a fudepen (a calligraphy brush pen whose ink is usable on normal paper, whereas traditional calligraphy ink only works on rice paper).
In the political parody of The Legend of Koizumi, Koizumi plays a special form of "mahjong diplomacy" against foreign adversaries such as George W. Bush, Kidō Senshi Gundam-san since 2005.
Manga translator and Japanese in Mangaland author Marc Bernabé produced this video as part of his Masters of Manga website and video series.
