Yaoi-Con was pleased to welcome Mamiya Oki (manga artist) & Tsubasa Kawahara (novelist) 2007 as our Guests of Honor.
MAMIYA OKI Date of Birth: 8/15 Horoscope: Leo Blood Type: A Web sites: Official Site & Jadou Recipe for MO: I was a child that liked to draw before I can remember. Then I came to like books, then manga, then doujinshi. Eventually ccame to be an artist as a profession, in a way, a typical pattern for a mangaka. I haven't changed much since age 14 (I was mature for my age). | | |
Favorites: - Cats (I have two currently) Cats are nice.
- Nescafe Gold Blend (nothing else) Can't start work without it.
- Salem Pianissimo Slims (cigarettes) Can't start work without this either. . .
- Mainicure. If I'm not careful, it breaks all over.
- Beautiful candles and bath accessories. Bath by candleligth when I have plenty of time is the best.
- Zippo and funny lighters, collecting miniatures, collecting books with yummy covers

TSUBASA KAWAHARA
| Date of Birth: | 9/14 | | Horoscope: | Libra | | Blood Type: | A | | Web sites: | Rosarium & Jadou |
Hobbies:
| The hobbies have become my daily life as the years go by (e.g., reading books). When I come across something so lovely, I would buy that without any hesitation, and would hardly have regret for that. I think my sense of shopping has been formed through so much failure. Since 2002, I have been interested in glass such as incense holders, accessories and flower bases. I am also fascinated with making perfumes by myself, and have produced the perfumes of Ja-dou and Platonic Dance. | | Publication in Foreign Countries: | It is uncertain whether my works are translated into English. Some Chinese versions have been published by Floral Novels, Taiwan. | | Favorite Foods/Drinks: | I do not have strong likes and dislikes about food and drink, but my most favorite thing is French wine. When I talk about champagne, "Moet" is the best. If I have to choose the last table before I die, I would prefer blue mold cheese and red wine. I also like drinking sake with sushi or blowfishes. | | My Aspiration: | It would be my great pleasure if the English versions of my works are published, and I am waiting for the offer. |
