Kei Sanbe (三部 敬, Sanbe Kei) is a Japanese manga artist born in Tomakomai, Hokkaido[1] and raised in Chiba Prefecture. He has formerly worked under the pseudonym Keisuke Kawara (瓦 敬助, Kawara Keisuke). He is married to illustrator Keishi Kanesada (兼処 敬士, Kanesada Keishi).

History

[edit]

After graduating from high school, Sanbe moved to Tokyo to study background art production at the Tokyo Designer Gakuin College. He cites Lupin the Third's The Castle of Cagliostro as the driving force behind his enrollment and overall interest in drawing background art. He made his debut in the game magazine Dengeki Adventures. During his time in school, Sanbe came across a job listing in Weekly Shōnen Jump from Hirohiko Araki, requesting for new assistants. While not particularly a fan of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, its variety of backgrounds and foreign settings enticed him to submit an application. After applying twice, Sanbe was accepted into Araki's team around the time of Battle Tendency's serialization and was eventually promoted to chief assistant. He would go on to work for Araki for a total of eight years before leaving halfway through Golden Wind to pursue his own career as a manga artist. When Testarotho, Kamiyadori, and Erased were published in tankōbon form, Araki gave his endorsement on the obi.
