Gurihiru

Gurihiru, also credited as Illustrator Unit Gurihiru and Gurihiru Studios, is a Japanese illustration team, consisting of Chifuyu Sasaki (workplan design, pencils, inks) and Naoko Kawano (workplan design, colors, webdesign). Both originating from Sapporo, Japan, they are currently based in Saitama, mainly working as artists for American comics.

The two women are art school graduates who worked as web designers and art museum receptionists prior to their work in comics. After entering a manga competition, they were advised to contact U.S. comics publishers, and they have since illustrated many American comics and graphic novels.[1]

Work

The pair have worked on several Marvel Comics titles, such as Power Pack[2], Fantastic Four[3], Gus Beezer & Spider Man[4], and The Unbelievable Gwenpool.[5][6] They have also worked on the Avatar: The Last Airbender comic series, beginning in 2012 for the comic book The Promise and ending their run in 2017 with North and South.[7] Their game credits include human character design for Sega's game Sonic Unleashed and its accompanying 3DCG short Sonic: Night of the Werehog, and character design for Bandai Namco Entertainment's game Treasure Report: The Mechanized Legacy. They were also in charge of illustrating flyers for the Kansai comedy troupe Gekidan HikoHiko.
