Kyoko Okazaki
Okazaki's works focus on depicting urban Japanese life in Tokyo from the 1980s and 1990s. Okazaki's characters are bold and freewheeling, holding unconventional sets of values, just like the author herself. You can see that from Helter Skelter, winner of the 2003 excellence prize at the Japanese Media Arts Festival, and the 2004 Osamu Tezuka Culture Prize.
