Welcome to Keisuke Iwahata's web site! Here you can explore paintings and characters created by Keisuke Iwahata, an illustrator born in Numazu City, Shizuoka, Japan.

Hello.  How are you?  To my regret, a summer vacation will be over in 3 days. 
I just want to let you know that a new hero character flashed on me. 
His name is “Muffler Z.”  A red muffler he wears is a proof of a hero. 
I haven’t finished illustration yet.  I will post the finished work soon.  So stay in touch with me.

Muffler Z

Killer techniques
・Rapid kick
・Energy shoot
・Justice storm

and so on

Let me show you my work “Deadly Punch!”
I drew an inspiration of this work from marshal arts videogames, which I like to play very much.  I wanted to develop and create an original marshal art character.
In addition to “Deadly Punch!”, I hit upon the following original game titles:
· “Dragon with the Black Belt”
· “Sword of Homura”
· “God of Sword Dancing Wild”
I will tell you more about this later.

In addition to Fujio Akatsuka, there are a lot of cartoon artists I respect.  Here is a list of my favorite cartoon artists.  So check them out.
· Fujiko F. Fujio, known as the creator of Doraemon, Perman, and so forth
· Osamu Tezuka, known as the creator of Astro Boy, Black Jack, and so forth
· Yoshito Usui, known as the creator of Kureyon Shin-chan
· Akira Toriyama, known as the creator of Dr. Slump, Dragon Ball, and so on
· Osamu Akimoto, known as the creator of Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen Mae Hashutsujo (This is the police station in front of Kameari Park in Katsushika Ward)
· Mitsuteru Yokoyama, known as writing of Sangokushi (Records of Three Kingdoms), Mahōtsukai Sarī(Sally the Witch), and so on
· Shotaro Ishinomori, known as the creator of Cyborg 009, and so on

Let me introduce “Alloy Rabbit” to you.  It is displayed in the Web Gallery.
This is a story about the leading character Robot Shiro-usa (literally meaning robot white rabbit) working hand in hand with his buddy Kuro-usa (literally meaning robot black rabbit) and confronting a huge vice organization that is plotting to conquer the world.  I really love super robot cartoons or animation shows, which formed an inspiration for “Alloy Rabbit.”
There are sequels to “Alloy Rabbit” titled “Super Alloy Rabbit” and “Alloy Rabbit NEO.” 
As is the case with “Star Man, warrior of light,” “Alloy Rabbit” is an original hero I created.
Shiro-usa is gentle and thoughtful.  His partner Kuro-usa is cool, but cares a lot for his friends as Shiro-usa does.
I hope “Alloy Rabbit” will interest you a lot.

How are you doing?  A summer vacation will be over soon.  Has a new semester started at your school yet?

I hope you will work hard in the new semester.  I will do my best too.
Summer 2011, thank you for letting me have a wonderful time and experiences!
