Atsushi Kaneko is a mangaka known for his work on Bambi, Soil, Wet Moon or Deathco. With a singular style rallying strong influences that range from punk rock and cinema to lowbrow art, Kaneko created his own universe, with themes including rage, loss of control and an adversity against the world. His passion for cinema also led him to direct “Mushi”, a segment part of the anthology film “Rampo Noir”, where he leveraged his past mangaka experience, which in turn influenced his manga career onwards.
Working completely alone, Kaneko will introduce us to his process and the balance he creates with his free time, as we followed him to a rock concert, one his DJ events or a dinner with friends, while he also tries to keep an open window on the world walking alongside Meguro river.

I've met him in person before, he really is an amazing and super down to earth artist. I hope you will support his works!

[@AlmightyNata]

How'd you meet him?

I will!

Thats amazing. I wish i could meet naruto's creator and my 2 big idols: hideo kojima and Yoji shinkawa

i once met this Limmy guy at a charity once, he's surprisingly down to earth, and very FUNNY too.

Thank you for the amazing work and effort you guys put into your videos.

[@oracle_8947]

You guys do such awesome work, I appreciate all of your documentaries and how they highlight such amazing artists across so many mediums!
An episode I would love to see in this series is one featuring Tetsuya Nomura. His work has had a huge influence on me since childhood, and a major source of inspiration. It would be so great if you could do an interview with him.

[@yot-su]

Soil is absolutely one of the craziest manga i've ever read, this guy is a legend.

I'm so happy that Dororo is finally getting the attention it deserves in the recent animation and the reimagined adaptation by Atsushi Kaneko. It's definitely one of my most adored of Osamu Tezuka's works.

[@aus-li]

It's my least favorite of his works, lol. The concept was cool but it didn't really go anywhere.

[@turinturambar6795]

i read dororo after being disappointed with demon slayer as it seemed similar, hoping it would be different i was pleasantly surprised with how good it was

[@Dragonknight761]

I've only read Wet Moon, but one can deduce a lot from this video. I think most mangaka around his generation want to express that feeling of high individuality with the " one against the whole world" quote. Also, I can see many similarities with mangakas in Naoki Urusawa's Manben where for example Inio Asano says that he wants to create never before seen images or how he loves the rock movement like Takahashi Tsutomu. Some interesting tidbits throughout the video were that he is a fan of A Clockwork Orange, which seems obvious once one considers his work, although usually people don't take into account western influences for mangaka; I didn't know that he was also involved with a movie (beside the cancelled Wet Moon). The video became really interesting for me when he is at the bar and talks with colleagues and friends. For example I didn't know that he was working on a Dororo manga (how strange). Also, I like the call backs to Terada and whoever reads this should check out this channel's video on him; but in consideration of Terada, when they mentioned Taiyo Matsumoto I feel like toco will/ should do a video on him since he has a new manga incoming.

[@rodrigosotoaltamirano3543]

A Matsumoto video would be awesome!

[@AlmightyNata]

Woah Taiyo has a new manga coming out?

[@awsomesmasher23]

I have never heard of this Mangaka but holy heck am I glad I know now! His art is right up my alley and he's a fan of the Sex Pistols and Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange?! Thanks for introducing me to this man, I'll definitely be checking out his works. Keep up the fantastic work Archipel! Much love! 🖤
Edit: And now I learned he's also working on Dororo?!! Love this guy more and more!

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

Thank you, glad we could help :)

[@takitogr]

what an interesting conversation they're having at the yakitori place. what i wouldn't give to know a group like that to discuss manga with irl

[@demiremi]

this was an interesting video, it was nice to see his origins. i also found it interesting how he is able to do such good art using an ipad, kinda reminded me of another artist named sae jin, who also used ipad for a time to make great works. another thing of note was learning a bit about dororo and how black jack got started, as well as he draws the hair first, i tend to do the same in my art. anyway nice video; keep up the good work!

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed!

[@vivvy_0]

what kind of pencil was he using there, i never seen it before. it's not a regular apple pencil

[@ikys9781]

For those on the search for the music that starts at 14:28 -> A song for the shy moon by Oran (there is only a full album video on youtube you‘ll find it there)

[@AlmightyNata]

Thank you for doing these on mangaka, they are so fascinating. It's a shame none of Atsushi Kaneko's works are published in English, someone needs to get on that!
Seriously though, I would love to film these for my career, keep this going!

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

Thanks for watching.

[@CanalDojogames]

Archipel, you guys really rock! ;D
Its a thing that i also noticed when he says that his style changed while he change the theme of his mangas. I think its the vision we want. Like 3d when we create an atmosphere with an different render. Each render is destined to each vision you want and the atmosphere you want to show. If its dark,mistery or very raimbow,happy...

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

Thank you!

[@johanwairissal1067]

his style is like illustration in punk rock poster :D realy cool

[@blankroyai]

In love with this channel! This whole channel is better at making these interview/ documentaries-a like of videos muuucchhh better than TV does! The way you shoot the vids makes it cinematic and yet the when the mangakas speak, it gets to your heart! Love this channel! Pls dont stop!!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻☺️😆

Merci pour cet épisode de toco toco avec le génial Atsushi Kaneko. J'ai adoré wet moon, soil et récemment deathco de vrai claque graphique et des histoires particulièrement prenantes avec leurs lots de personnages tous plus déjantés les uns que les autres. Et quelle super conversation dans le bar à la fin de la vidéo, vraiment très intéressent, en plus la petite anecdote inattendue sur dororo et Tezuka qui fait plaisir.

I can thank enough when mangakas are willing to show their faces and talk about their processes and influences when creating stories. Bambi is fun as hell and Soil is as legendary and memorable as cosmic horror can get, absolutely love Atsushi's work
