| − | '''Kentarou Miura''' is a {{wp|mangaka}} and the author of ''[[Berserk (Manga)|Berserk]]'', on which [[project:About|this wiki project]] is based. He made his debut in 1976 with his first short series ''Miuranger'', and began his professional career with the short series ''Ken e No Michi'', ''Futanabi'', and ''Noa''. |

| − | == Biography == |
||
| − | In 1976, at the age of 10, Miura created his first manga titled ''Miuranger'' for his class mates, and appeared in some of his school’s publications. As time progressed, ''Miuranger'' ended up finishing at around 40 volumes. After this Miura began work on ''Ken e No Michi'' (The Way Of The Sword) - his first work drawn using Indian ink. In 1979 while still in Middle School Miura began using rasters for his work, and trained himself to use professional drawing methods. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In 1982 he enrolled in an artistic curriculum in high school, where together with his friends they had their work published in school booklets, as well as having his first dojinshi published in a fan produced magazine. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In 1985 Miura was accepted onto an art course at Niho Daigaku University. He started two more works during this time: ''Futanabi'' and ''Noa'' - which may have been the work he showed to gain entry to the University in the first place. ''Futanabi'' and ''Noa'' were also submitted to the Shonen magazine, the magazine awarding Miura a prize for the best new author for ''Futanabi'', and they actually published ''Noa'' in their magazine towards the end of that year. However the publications were short lived; Miura had a difference of opinion with one of the editors, and no further work was published. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In 1988 came the first appearance of'' [[Berserk (Manga)|Berserk]]''. The 48 page manga - now known as the [[Chapter 00|''Berserk Prototype'']], resembles a preview of the actual manga, with some key differences. It won Miura a prize from the Comi Manga School. |

||
| − | Having finished his course and receiving his doctorate in 1989 he began another work called ''Ourou'' (King of Wolves) which is based on a script by Yoshiyuki "Buronson" Okamura, manga writer of ''Fist of the North Star'' fame. ''Ourou'' was published in the monthly Japanese Animal House magazine in issues 5 and 7 of that year. The 10th issue of Animal House that year saw the first ever, and only publication for that year of Miura's solo work ''Berserk''. The year ending with ''Ourou'' being released as a stand alone manga volume. From the 2nd to the 6th issues of Animal House in 1990, a follow up to ''Ourou'' was published. Entitled ''Ourou Den'' (The Legend of the Wolf King), it too is based on a script by Okamura. ''Ourou Den'' received a stand alone volume release that same year. The first volume of ''Berserk'' was also released this same year, however it had limited success. It isn't until the release of The Golden Age Arc that ''Berserk'' finally found popularity and success. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Another joint effort between Miura and Okamura in the 1992 work ''Japan'', appearing in issues 1 to 8 of Animal House for that year, again with stand alone manga volumes following later in the year. At the end of this year Miura decided to dedicate himself solely to working on ''Berserk''. |
||
| − | |||
| − | 1997 saw the release of various art books and supplements by Miura based on ''Berserk'' as well as Miura overseeing the production of a 25 episode animated series to be aired on Nihon TV in Japan. Since then the manga has made its way to 38 released volumes, as well as having picked up a cultural award for Miura in 2002, earning him one million yen. The series has also spawned a whole host of merchandise, both official and fan made, ranging from statues, actions figures, video games, and a trading card game. |
