About Toshio Saeki:
Born in 1945 in Miyazaki prefecture, Japan, Toshio Saeki embarked on his artistic journey by studying western painting at the Art Department of Hiyoshigaoka High School in Kyoto. His breakthrough came in 1970 when he made his debut as an illustrator for the popular weekly magazine for young men, Heibon Punch. Saeki's vivid cover illustrations for Ninja novels, authored by Futaro Yamada, garnered widespread attention for their provocative blend of eroticism and cruelty.
