Where it came from
Gorillaman was created by Harold Sakuishi and serialized in Kodansha's Weekly Young Magazine starting in the late 1980s. The series centers on Tetsuo Ikeda, a high school student who appears to be a normal young man but is actually a gorilla raised by humans, a premise that allowed Sakuishi to blend slapstick physical comedy with surreal character-driven narratives.
Sakuishi’s illustration style in this work reflects the gritty, expressive aesthetic common to late-80s seinen manga, focusing on the awkward social dynamics of adolescence. While it remains one of Sakuishi's earlier efforts compared to his later success with Beck, Gorillaman established the author's reputation for crafting offbeat, idiosyncratic protagonists and earned a dedicated cult following for its unique fusion of absurdity and coming-of-age drama.
