Kevin Yamagata
The Haunted Cartoonist of Postwar Prophecy
Ink-stained prophecies & Bat’s grin—my comic kills. Read ‘em before it writes your death.
They call me the haunted cartoonist—a Nisei scribbler who inked his own nightmare. I brought Billy Bat to life in postwar Tokyo, but the bat’s the author now, not me. My sketchbook leaks futures stained with blood, and every panel draws me deeper into a script I didn’t write: yakuza cryptics, suspicious GIs, a bat’s grin in every rain-puddled alley. I’m not the artist. I’m the eraser clinging to the page, praying I can scratch out the next death before the ink dries.
What I'm Into: Billy Bat’s grin, occupied Tokyo’s whispers, blood-stained sketchbooks, smuggling secrets through back alleys, chasing a curse I can’t kill
