Masashi Asaki
Masashi Asaki (朝基まさし, Asaki Masashi, born 2 March 1970 in Osaka, Japan) is a Japanese manga artist. He is best known as the artist for the series Psychometrer Eiji and Kunimitsu no Matsuri, both written by Shin Kibayashi under the name Ando Yuma, and both of which have been adapted into live-action dramas.
