In
any discussion about fighting game artwork and character design, the name
Akira "Akiman" Yasuda should be in the conversation early on.
The legendary Street Fighter 2 illustrator and character designer, Akiman, stars in the latest episode of Toco Toco TV, a web series focusing
on creative professionals in Japan. The mini-documentary talks about
Akira's 30-year career as an illustrator and animator, and follows him
around his daily life in the Shinjuku area of Japan.
