Tatsumi Wada (和田たつみ) is the manga-ka who illustrated the Strider Hiryu manga[1][2] while working for Moto Kikaku. Little else is known about him.
Career
Edit
Moto Kikaku (then Motomiya-Kikaku) selected Wada to illustrate their portion of a triple-pronged joint project between themselves and Capcom in 1988, a manga tie-in.[1][2] Wada's manga was serialized in Kadokawa Shoten during the latter half of 1988 and collected into a tankōbon. He, Masahiko Kurokawa, and Kouichi Yotsui are responsible for Hiryu's final character design[2], and Wada and Kurokawa jointly developed the plot that both the manga and Famicom game drew upon, which Yotsui felt was too "complex" and did not use.[2]
After the collaboration with Capcom, Wada went on to create several lesser-known manga series. None of them have been translated into English.
