About Junji Ito and Tomie
Junji Ito was born in Gifu Prefecture in July 1963. He won an honorable mention in 1986 for his submission of Tomie to the first Umezu Award in Monthly Halloween (Asahi Sonorama). The horror series became his debut work, and remains his most famous. Tomie, the main character, is a beautiful young woman with long, beautiful black hair and a beauty mark under her left eye. She’s an arrogant, malevolent character who proclaims that she is the most beautiful person in the world. Tomie is like a siren, as her charm lures in men and she then makes a mess of their lives. Eventually the lovestruck men go mad and resort to murder, but Tomie always regenerates and comes back to life to repeat the cycle.
