Mitsuteru Yokoyama was a foundational titan of the manga world, a visionary whose versatility redefined Japanese storytelling. As the creator of Tetsujin 28-go, he pioneered the "Giant Robot" genre, while Sally the Witch laid the groundwork for the "Magical Girl" phenomenon. Beyond sci-fi, his monumental 60-volume Sangokushi (Romance of the Three Kingdoms) stands as a definitive historical epic. Characterized by clean, stoic linework and a grand sense of scale, Yokoyama’s art balances classic elegance with profound narrative depth. He remains an immortal architect of imagination, bridging the gap between ancient history and futuristic wonder. His influence continues to shape modern visual culture.
