Junichi Yamakawa

Junichi Yamakawa (山川純一, Yamakawa Jun'ichi) is a pseudonymous Japanese manga artist. A creator of gay manga, his works were published in the gay men's magazine Barazoku and its manga supplement Bara-Komi in the 1980s. Yamakawa's manga are distinguished by their depictions of male–male sexual relations in comedic and heightened scenarios. While Yamakawa's works were originally published in relative obscurity, his 1987 manga Kuso Miso Technique gained notoriety as an Internet meme in the early 2000s, leading to newfound public interest in his manga.
