Have you got the Guts?
While attending college at Nihon University, in 1988, Kentaro Miura
debuted a 48-page manga known as Berserk Prototype, an
introduction to the current Berserk fantasy world. It went
on to win Miura a prize from the Comi Manga School. In 1989, after
receiving a doctorate degree, Kentarou started a project titled
King of Wolves based on a script by Buronson, writer of Hokuto
no Ken (Fist Of The North Star).
In 1990, the first volume Berserk was released with a
relatively limited success. Miura again collaborated with Buronson
on manga entitled Japan. Miura's fame grew after
Berserk began "The Golden Age" story arc and the huge
success of this masterpiece made of him one of the most prominent
contemporary manga artists.
In 1997, Miura supervised the production of 25 anime episodes of
Berserk that aired in the same year on NTV.
The series has also spawned a whole host of merchandise, both
official and fan made, ranging from statues and action figures, to
key rings, video games, and a trading card game. In 2002, Kentaro
Miura received the second place in the Tezuka Osamu (Astro Boy)
Cultural Prize of Excellence for Berserk. The author lives
in Tokyo, Japan.
