"Masayuki is the best guy with a great perspective. What he draws is beautiful, crazy, smart, stupid, and cool. It's truly something! Well, he does have a weakness for frogs, but I think that even helps his art." - James Iha (Musician/Designer)

Masayuki Ogisu is known for his works featuring cute and coquettish maidens rendered in vivid colors. His first art book, "PHENOMENON," compiles select pieces from Ogisu's extensive archive. The design is by Shin Sobue.
