We’re thrilled to welcome Shintaro Kago, the unique and world-renowned manga artist from Tokyo to Heroes Made in Asia 2026!
Born in 1969, Kago creates comics and illustrations with themes such as eroticism, black humor, absurdity, and surrealism. His distinctive artistic style has been called “Fashionable Paranoia” in the West.
Kago frequently breaks the fourth wall and experiments with the manga format itself, playing with page layout in extreme and inventive ways. His innovative and provocative storytelling has earned him recognition as one of the most virtuosic comic artists in the world.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to meet Shintaro Kago in person during Heroes Made in Asia 2026, where imagination and creativity know no limits.
🎟️ Tickets go live this Friday, November 14!
