Keiji Nakazawa(1939-2012)

Survivor of the nuclear attack of Hiroshima, Japan. He claims to have seen the Enola Gay flying far overhead, and was nearly blinded by the flash of the explosion, which he described as "like a million flash bulbs going off at once". He credits his survival with a brick wall collapsing on top of him during the blast.

I drew manga on many subjects: baseball, samurai dramas, racers and so on. So I think I always would have found a career as an artist, in the entertainment world.
