Dumb tweet, but so many mangaka nowadays are miserable and regurgitate right-wing garbage all the time

Mamoru Oshii has been off the rocker for a few decades.

Spy x Family author is sus

Usogui guy follows every single far-righter you can find in Japan and is face first in all culture war spats

A lot of mecha legends have gone nuts, Masami Obari follows tons of far right politicians(kana shindo he's retweeted) Akiman endorsed far-right Akane Himasora. Makoto Kobayashi is a qanon putin lover

Lain creator is a qanon alt-right guy lmao

Kaiji guy is besties with holocaust denier Katsuya Takasu and his wife

I swear everyone said the Tanya guy was some big communist. He retweets anti-communist stuff and LDP ew.

Pole star author endorsed the far right candidate as did a lot of mangaka

Murata endorsed Akamatsu the guy who wrote a cringe anti-feminist manga and was retweeting Kishida stuff afterwards

"What manga" he literally joined the LDP cause the japanese communist party wanted to ban loli and soc dem party leader introduced a bill to ban it as well lol gamerant.com/manga-anime-ce…

Yoshitaka Amano was asked by Akira Amari to draw 7 LDP politicians as 7 samurai, and he did 🙄

Sadamoto's nasty anti-korean rant is well known, but he also had a lot of prominent mangaka covering for him. Nobuteru Yuki being one of them

And? I'm aware he was cheering the JCP back in 2014 and before. He has done interviews on what pushed him to join LDP and he points at JCP and it's loli views. Now he literally makes manga about feminists censoring manga with affirmative action lol

Taimanin creator voted LDP cause several prominent old fart CDP politicians wanted to ban porn btw

Speaking of NSFW artists, a lot are deep in that anti-sjw mindset. Remember the outrage of Butcha-U being scared of the gays

Kimi Onada is one of the most anti-korean politician's around and the one CDP guy endorsed was shut down by his own party cause he was going on weird sexist tangents about the feminist group Colabo

Also, Akamatsu and Taro Yamada have heavily supported LDPs core policies, so?

Hiroya Oku is always causing a fuss, so he has dozens of takes to pull from

Remember when the Uzaki chan author retweeted antifa was disguised as trumpers to invade the capital. BTW this thread is all for me, idc if it upsets ppl. 🙂

Ken Otsuka's whole Twitter is full of right-wing fear mongering. Anti-kurd, anti-chinese, and moaning about Yasuke existing in assassin's creed. Also had a lot of misinfo regarding BLM a few years back.

And? I can make this thread 10x longer if i started dropping BL/yuri mangaka spouting TERF trash lol. Akamatsu has supported the majority of LDP core policies that have no relation to freedom of expression 😃

Yasukai Kita endorsed far right Akane Himasora

Tatsuya Egawa(author of golden boy) is an anti korean trump supporter

A lot of popukar gag mangaka spout rw reactionary garbage

Yasutaka Tsutsui(the girl who leapt through time author) has been making disgusting rw statements for decades japantimes.co.jp/news/2017/04/1…

I'm going for more obscure tbh. Who isn't aware Kumeta spouts nationalist and xenophobic rhetoric 24/7?

KAKERU(mahou mangas, 100+ published books) endorsed the far-right Akane Himasora and he has been tweeting right-wing garbage as long as I can scroll back. He blames all things censorship on the "female left"

One of the original artists for Uma Musume Silence Suzuka is deep into reactionary garbage and also endorsed Far-right Himazora Akane. They have now gone private since Akane lost 😢

Hiroshi Tamaru akso supported Akane, retweeted tweets calling for the arrest of Renho(CDP candidate for Tokyo Governor Election) and mind numbing anti-feminist/vegan takes. Akane is a magnet for rwers. He worked with Akiman and other big industry figures

Hiroyuki Oda(eromanga, eureka) not only supported Akane, he supported the invoice changes targeting his own industry

Yoshito Yamahara(author of Ryuurouden) believes every single right-wing conspiracy theory that drops in front of him. Also, a diehard trump supporter

Erotica mangaka Akira Narita and former Tezuka Osamu assistant formed a niche party because LDP wasnt right-wing enough for him 😆

Kiseki Himura(Sword art online, Tawawa on Monday) has stacks of racist and misogynistic takes like the below up to 2018

Satoru Ozawa(Ao no 6-gou) is a supporter of the war crime denier Naoki Hyakuta, leader of the conservative party

Leiji Matsumoto(Space Battleship Yamato), Shinji Hiramatsu(Shin Doberman Deka), Kenji Morita(robotan) and Yoshinori Kobayashi(credited being the first ever neto-uyo)  frequently donated to the controversial Yasukuni Shrine and a lot more

Atsuji Yamamoto(Ultimate teacher) tweets and retweets a lot of dumb right wing culture war filth and stacks of transphobic tweets from a transphobic yuri mangaka, Natsuko Mori

This explains a lot as to why Yasuhiro Irie(Full metal alchemist anime) endorsed racist Kimi Onada several posts up. He supported far right Akane Himasora 🤢

muv-luv creator has been a die-hard LDP supporter forever, supports Trump, and all in the right-wing culture garbage

Yoshimurakana(Murcielago) supported Akane and Trump and blocks anyone that calls him out 😫

Legendary Kazuichi Hanawa works alongside his bestie Yutaka Ano, a far-right conspiracy trump supporter blogger and youtuber where they both reminisce of old war days. 🙄

Hirofumi Neda(MHA Smash!!) was one of the earliest supporters of Akane and even donated to him, Akane became infamous for his conspiracy that the communist party and feminists were siphoning tax money from the government. 🤔

NSFW artist Asanagi(VictimGirls) also endorsed far-right Akane, not really surprising with his works and the anti-feminist rhetoric he's spouted already. Akane just lost a legal case against Japanese communist affiliated colabo NPO(womens support group)   asahi.com/articles/ASS7L…

Rin Horuma(Creator of medarots/medabots) frequently posts/follows and retweets anti-trans prageru tier garbage, such as the below. 🙄

Toh Azuma(spin-off of Fate/Stay Night, Lord El-Melloi II), his feed is full of anti-lgbt and the below. 🤮

Masanao Kurihara (Uramiya Honpo) is deeply involved in rw culture war issues, where these beliefs seep into his works. He portrays communist human rights groups as leeching taxes and censoring content.😄

Still sitting on a fat list of 80+ mangaka with problematic stuff. Tsukasa Kotobuki(Saber Marionette J, Gundam origins) as a lot of other mangakas have been whining recently about DEI in gaming, probably related to the Tekken thing.

Takeshi Nogami(Girls & panzer char designer, strike witches), long term supporter of LDP anti-korean Kimi Onada, does promos for LDP and supports Okinawa base development and the SDF(these two things are heavily opposed by the left)

Kouji Mori retweeting the Lauren Southern of Japan and chief assistant at studio gaga retweeting Tucker Carlson? Something to keep an eye on. 🙁

Takashi Hashiguchi( Yakitate!! Japan, Chousoku Spinner) was an adamant supporter of Shinzo Abe, constantly emphasizing how apolitical was, aside from his admiration for Abe.

Shinji Katakura(Green Green char designer) was discovered to be using an alt Twitter account pretending to be a woman to spout right wing hate, got police trouble for harassing women groups and he runs an account dedicated to stalking his former idol Akane togetter.com/li/2132380

Souryuu(Machimaho) another supporter of far-righter Akane, is just cowardly to own up to it and constantly dog whistling his support 

Seiji Matsuyama(Eiken) has been known by anti-hate groups forever and is constantly twitter banned for spouting racist, anti-feminist rhetoric 24/7. just throw his now banned @/seijimatsuyama into the search and see for yourself

Yuka Nagate(Gift±, Fist Of The North Star Mangas) social media is just stacks of right-wing conspiracy nonsense and support for the Trump tier LDP candidate

Taeko Watanabe(Kaze Hikaru, Hajime-chan ga Ichiban!) whole social feed was full of typical right-wing stuff including anti-korean rhetoric regarding comfort women statues. Anno also credited her for inspiring Shinji and Rei. Her Account no longer exists

Scifi writer Aritsune Toyota (Space Battleship Yamato, Astro Boy) known nettoyoku who wrote dozens of anti-Korean novels from the late 1980s until his death, based on his time living in Korea, blaming all of Korea’s woes on leftist forces

Kimio Yanagisawa(Aoki Honoo) had an article in True Story BUNKA Taboo praising Trump finally bringing the anti-global movement and full of anti-Korean and China rhetoric.

Tachikawa Mushimaro(character designer for cygames Rage of Bahamut, Shadowverse) endorsed Far-right Akane Himasora for Tokyo Governor.

Got sent a private doc from some Japanese that monitor Nettoyou activities. It's a lot to dig into and only half the list. 😴

Yoshihisa Tagami(Grey Creator) IRL friend of Anti-LGBT lawmaker Mio Sugita and had some questionable convos with her.😲

Katsuhisa Minami (The Fable) 😃

Satou Fumiya(Character designer for Kindaichi) draws newsletters for the anti-Korean cult religion Happy Science to this day and Takaaki Ishiyama(Director, and storyboarder for dozens of anime) is another follower and actively directs Happy Science productions. 🙏

Wataru Yamazaki, well-known for his 4-panel works (Dragon Quest, Super Mario, Fire Emblem), has been making anti-Korean insults continuously up to the present year—too many to screencap. 😠  archive.is/6hQVd imgur.com/a/D78poCu

Hiroyuki Kawasaki (screenwriter for After War Gundam X, writer for Sakura Wars 2, 3, 4, and 5) has a lot of anti-China/Korean hate on his feed, as well as some really dumb anti-LGBT takes. There are always many more examples than the ones posted here, btw. archive.is/M5ZuM

Satoru Iriyoshi (key animation Pokemon, Dragon Ball. Storyboard for Precure/Dokidoki and more) social feed is full of your typical American right-wing culture war and he's also a Trump guy. Married to Hiromi Niioka(screenwriter/director for A LOT) who is a Takaichi Supporter.

Just some extra tidbits for the above posts that were a little light. Akiman retweeting anti-trans accounts. Uzaki-chan author going on his anti-feminist rants, Makoto Kobayashi endorsing a very niche rw party and Usogui author endorsing Akane Himasora. 

Fairly known one. Kazunari Suzuki (Megami Tensei creator, advisor to a lot of anime/manga) full-on right-wing nationalism and also recently endorsed Akane Himasora. 

Shouzou Kaga (Fire Emblem creator) may as well be mentioned, as he is another creator of a big game franchise. He rarely speaks about politics, but he let it slip that supported Abe Shinzo during his early days and promptly deleted it. 🤫

Shin Kibayashi (creator of Kindaichi, Bloody Monday, and GetBackers) also had a significant role in Fire Emblem Fates. His entire feed is filled with Trump conspiracy accounts, Elon worship, and a lot of anti-COVID stuff.

Military mangaka Motofumi Kobayashi(Apocalypse Meow) social feed is full of anti-Korean/China garbage 🗑

Fukuda Mitsuo (Mobile Suit Gundam SEED director) follows all the usual right-wing pundits and engages with them. His social media feed is full of anti-foreigner sentiment and complaining about the non-existent Kurdish threat in Japan.

Mitsuo Iso(Dennō Coil creator)has been caught retweeting and liking all sorts of anti-korean and comfort women things.

Yun Kouga(Loveless, Akuma no Riddle creator) liked/retweeted all of Sadomoto's anti-korean remarks and responded to him positively following the backlash. jin115.com/archives/52266…

Hikaru Yuzuki(Amai Seikatsu, Sweet Life) is full of such takes as below. 😵‍💫

More Oshii! He runs a paid newsletter on Nico, sharing political takes. He praised Ishiba, supported Abe, backed Suga 2020, opposed the Science Council, placing himself firmly on the right wing. Invited LDP Ishiba as a secret guest in 2013 to his event. amazon.co.jp/dp/4344027574/

Yoshiyuki Tomino (Gundam creator) supported the Minna no To Party and met its leader Watanabe before the 2009 elections. A long-deleted interview with Watanabe shows Tomino's disinterest in politics until this party emerged. 1/2 archive.is/hbi5I

The below is from his 2011 Gundam Family Theory and shows his disdain for the DPJ. It was possibly during this time that his dislike for politicians originated. He wrote the Minna catchphrase to spite DPJ Ozawa. His beliefs are more layered now, making him hard to pin down. 2/2

The threads biggest mistake is the mishmash of dunking boomer conservatives, neoliberals, and similar with the more looney right-wing racists

Yasunaga Koichiro (Prefectural Earth Defense Force) Feed full of transphobic takes like below and more Akiman equating trans with lobotomies.  The thread is so long that it's starting to bug out when you scroll. Maybe a new thread later, as there are still plenty of nasties. 😠

Kenshi Hirokane (Kosaku Shima) depicted leftist Okinawa anti-base protesters as paid actors in his manga. Shortly after this portrayal, it was revealed that he had been working as a public relations advisor for the Ministry of Defense on behalf of the LDP.

All the Discord servers I frequent are lighting up with creators retweeting and engaging in the whole black edit fiasco. Anyway, this thread is fairly in-depth on creators who supported Akane Himasora.

Shoji Gatoh(creator of Full Metal Panic!), infamous for his meltdown over Greta Thunberg
otakuusamagazine.com/full-metal-pan…

Keiichi Sigsawa (Kino's Journey) is very openly right-wing, supported Abe Shinzo, and advocates for Yasukuni Shrine visits by politicians.

Peko Watanabe (Niko Tama, 1122 creator) nuked her Twitter when it was uncovered that her entire likes list was full of anti-trans 🗑
