toco toco’s new season starts with Mangaka & Illustrator legend Hisashi Eguchi. Our glimpse into Eguchi’s universe starts at Jimbocho, home of Shuheisha, one of Japan’s top publishing companies. We will follow Eguchi through the streets and places that made the memories of the start of his career, which now extends to almost forty years.
One train ride later, we will head to Kichijoji, Eguchi’s long-time home and current place of work, where we will discover more about his works and find some hints behind his peculiar style. The night will take us to Sasanoha, a small authentic restaurant in the back alleys of Harmonica Yokocho, where Eguchi meets with fellow mangaka, illustrators and editors.

The way Hisashi Eguchi draws girls and women in his illustrative work has a very unique, very human charm to it imo. He draws characters in a very appealing way without exaggerating proportions and features a lot.
As if he's combining the perspective of how a straight woman appreciates other women's beauty, and the perspective of how a straight man appreciates women's beauty. There is a depth and human quality to (at least some of) his illustrations that I don't often see with other artists (men and women alike).
It's as if he recognizes and appreciates the charm and (sometimes erotic) appeal of real women and didn't want to erase or sanitize it for a lack of better word by stylizing too much.
Not that I hate very stylized works, it's just very different.
Yeah, I just think he just really respects and loves women. World would be a better place if all men did so😂
"I would still like to draw manga"
For fuck's sake someone please let Eguchi gift us another work! Shueisha, Hakusensha, Kadokawa, I don't care who but fucking do it, it would be a crime against humanity not to!
the fact he draws to try and cope with dysphoria just makes Hibari so much sadder and hard to read as anything but wish fulfillment.
@、 buddy, calm down. did you listen? he actually said he wishes he were born as a girl. that is a kind of gender dysphoria.
oh man shiet i think me too
but for me, i want to do lesbies things idk
we r in the same page
@@warker6186 late but that's totally fine, sexuality and gender aren't the same thing and thus trans lesbians exist
@@warker6186 you probably want to do it to fetishize women lol dysphoria is different
@@iaminsanity2238 huh?
he literally just said 'it is really the frustration of not being born as a grl which fuels my drawings' and damn thats so powerful. imagine saying that in an interview.
a I was quite surprised about it as well. His female drawings tend to be a little bit intimate so I thought he’s just fond of beautiful girls.
Identity crisis
i thought that was a little tongue in cheek , that he's not uncomfortable with who he is exactly (this is my assumption, a point of view), just finding some logic in context of being a hopeless romantic. But also he means that women are so beautiful in his mind that he has always been jealous of women. I don't think he hates being a man or desires a sex change. He's speaking as an artist. I did see something like a ghost staring back in one of those drawings, so maybe he just drew her as if he was looking in a mirror. Either way, very powerful video piece and very well received. As a crappy non functioning artist i would gobble these up. Instant subscribe.
@@blizziar being trans doesn't mean he'd have to like men. There's plenty of trans women that like girls and vice versa. It's about your identity, not your sexuality.
thats is not what he wanted to say in japanese
8:19 damn, sis really just came right out and said it
I wish I could give her a hug and tell her she can just be a woman in this life, not just in her drawings... ;-;
'it is really the frustration of not being born as a girl which fuels my drawings'
this line literally made me cry
i completely forgot that they're the author of "Stop! Hibari-kun"...
makes sense they would say that in the interview
That`s being trans in a nutshell, most prefer to stay in their assigned gender out of stigma and the conceptions that society has about how a trans person should be like/look like. This experience makes me incredibly sad, that he can only achieve true freedom with his art. Also it doesn`t help the absurd amount of requirements needed for being legally recognized as trans in Japan.
Intense~~~~
Me too... T_T
"The ideal girl for me is the one I wold have wanted to become if I was born a girl"- That line alone left me in real awe... That's really incredible that he was able to shift, and modify his perspective to that degree.
th3azscorpio I felt the same way. I think there’s something profound about that realization, and that he is able to admit it casually moved me strangely.
th3azscorpio
Not really. It’s pretty normal.
When you want to think of the ideal girl you would consciously want to think about what you like which you see as the ideal. Those ideals are usually also what people doing the thought experiment of “what would I want to be like as the opposite sex?” which they confuse with “what would I be as the opposite sex?” because it’s based on the desire, the want. It’s no different from having the ideal you in your mind, it’s just “I’d be the opposite gender that I am now.”
NO ITS TRANS
...i think thats just called being trans..
If anyone feels this way or vice versa, consider that you may be transgender. There's no reason not to think about it, and a lot of us were just stuck on that idea for so long and wasted lots of time just fantasizing.
His drawings are just so intimate. Of course his perspective of trans angst makes the characters more grounded. He is showing us his inner truth on the page, which is so vulnerable and powerful at the same time. I hope he finds the courage and community to show his inner truth in more ways in the future.
This being said, his art is so effective at being a moment in time, with a before and after. I hope if he does continue discovering himself he still has the passion to draw these extremely personal portraits, because fuck if i didnt have my egg ccracked already.

Transferring his misery into beautiful artwork, transforming his personal tragedy into public comedy, god drawing must be a coping mechanism! It's Herculean strength right there!
Man has to get back to manga, seems to be where his heart is really at. Would be sad to see him get caught up in the ease of commission work instead of doing the thing he really wants to do.
I think if you read between the lines, he's saying that manga publishers don't want to touch his work after it became more clear that his work was expressing his personal struggle with gender/sex identity and his feelings regarding that. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think he was saying he's doing commission work because he can't get manga work. :(
@@ari_isdrawing4293 That was also my interpretation, I hope he can find work soon! He seems like such a cool guy, he draws so beautifully
I knwo this comment is old, if you don't know, this year he worked on original anime "sonny boy" it's beautiful in all aspects, if you haven't please watch, the characters are of his style
@@ari_isdrawing4293 I think it's more about the hardship of drawing manga. I've read elsewhere that he was quite burnt out by the weekly schedule and pressure and even had to let habari chan unfinished because of that. I sure would like to read more of him but if it's too hard on his mental health then that's not important
I just felt so identified with Eguchi senpai. I also tend to draw lots of girls cause I like to watch myself reflected on them. The ideal woman I would like to be if I had born as one. I will read his works, I will learn all I can from his art and mind. Thanks.
Wow, I love his work sm!! Normally when men illustrate women they tend to sexualize them quite a lot. But theres a certain purity about his illustrations
The part where he mentions wanting to be born a girl, and creating women as his ideal versions of himself if he were a woman, really puts it into perspective.
well I don't exactly think Eguchi exactly is/wants to be a man
Have you seen the BL side? Men get it too from women, I know this is 2 years old but stfu
@Dorey DNM Dude, are the attacking you personally? No, they are pointing out that IN GENERAL, artist tend to sexualize women, which I think is true: look at videogames, movies, anime... Usually media is made with a "male gaze" that tends to put focus on women as objects of desire. There are far more examples it happening rather than not.
Is op saying EVERY SINGLE MEN is like that? No. You are not being opressed, or harassed, so why are you acting like they just personally punched you in the face and called you sexist?
@@dango2917 Yeah, but BL is not an industry standard, they are not saying "men never get sexualized" they are just pointing out that women tend to be. Also, while BL is only popular among young women (generally speaking), Women are sexualized in every single type of media, all the time, and if you insist on "comparing" look at how Yuri is more popular than Yaoi...
Plus, they are not even being aggressive about their comment, it was totally in good fun, no need to be mesn

Damn. This hit hard.
I found out about Hibari-Kun several months ago and I’ve gotta say, it’s been one of the most interesting manga/anime I’ve seen. I’m happy to have found out about your work, Hisashi Eguchi.
Reading Stop Hibari-kun was pivotal in figuring out my gender. Thank you so much
This makes so much sense. Why else do nerdy kids draw hulking super heroes?
We draw that which we desire to possess, or to be.
This is why I draw cute girls, and jacked dudes.... you figure it out.
「僕とマンガをやると苦労する」で思わず（笑）。
分かります。白いワニが来ちゃうんですよね。

Isn’t frustration over “not having been born a girl” literally dysphoria? I mean it certainly is for me
@一•二二四七四四八七一三九 Mangaka: “My art is motivated by my frustration at not being born a girl.”
You: “This is the most cisgender thing I’ve ever seen.”
@@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick nailed it
@、 - The statement in Japanese is just as ambiguous as it is in English. While it's wrong to openly speculate about other peoples' genders, I can definitely say the statement resonates with myself and my trans/X-gender friends (Japanese).
@、 uh oh its you again!
@@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick what did they said
If only I were rich enough to be Eguchi sensei's patron so he would continue Stop!! Hibari-kun!
I've never seen Hisashi Eguchi's works before but I was absolutely blasted away by this interview. Especially love the amount of nostalgia and a hint of sadness that it carried, really struck home after leaving Taiwan 10 years ago.
When I look at popular manga / anime girls nowaday, most of them are too reliant on sexuality and crazy features but always ends up looking generic. Yet Mr. Eguchi's girls have neither exaggerated bodies proportion nor wild colors and I found myself drawn to them.
Perhaps it is the difference in mindset: Most people draw their dream girls to date while Mr. Eguchi draw the girl he wish he was borned as.
Thank you for this great video TocoTocoTV, really made my morning.
Can't agree more (on all points, even the better morning :) ). Thanks for putting that into words. :)
Do not generalize, please. You can be very abstract. Draw girls can be not just to romantic aspect and either to ''yourself''. The japanese masses culture made a really bad image of something more fantasy, but it's us that signifies what is bad or good. Being abstract or very realist is not better or worst, depends on the context and the intelligence of the creator.
Mixed bag.
I like a lot of the crazy shit coming out of Japan today, but appreciate his Plain Jane/Girl Next Door looking designs. I like both for different reasons. Also, a lot of his girls actually look Japanese while most now look more European with Japanese names.
@Lord Of Onions I think you're exaggerating how big the eyes are these days. Generally, they look far more normal and refined now than before.
Like, if you want big eyes go back to the 90s and early 2000s. Because holy s*** can the entire face be 90% eye.
derrick tsai
Well, except the part where this was the style back in like the 80’s for manga/anime. Not to mention you see this stuff today still it’s just you have to bother looking because fads change and evolution of the mainstream art is pretty fascinating to just observe.
Not to mention the ideal is still similar. It’s still the ideal girl, it’s just viewed from a different perspective. It’s still and ideal that is seen from an angle of love, of comfort, of being true to ones heart.
“I wish for this” “I like that” your just adding on the parts of either “I’d like to be this if I was a girl” or “I’d like this in a girlfriend” which aren’t that dissimilar simply because in wanting to find a partner you want to have someone that gels well with you. So you usually end up wanting someone that shares similar views to you, your ideals, for a healthy relationship to blossom. Meanwhile the ideal you wish you were as another gender would be following the line of logic of “I want to feel good about myself and love what I am”. Remember, the first person you have to love is yourself or else how can you really love another as a partner or even other people in general?
Esto si es verdadero mangaka,sin duda un verdadero genio mi gente,ojalá un día si Dios quiere regrese con Stop Hibari kun,porque la verdad no solo es uno de sus mejores mangas,también uno de los mejores que he visto
i love coming back to this video every once in a while, especially for the bit at 7:40 ! there's this charm and honesty that (i feel) its something only transgender people can understand. when i do a self-portrait, for example, it's always a sexless or androgynous version of me... i guess that comes from the buildup (or fuel!) dysphoria & dysmorphia can give you. at the same time i have an endless respect for trans people that fully embrace their femininity or masculinity, you could say it's the admiration of seeing someone else enjoying something that i despised. anyway my point is it's really relaxing how naturally this mangaka expresses their view of the feminine. i wonder how theyre doing...
Before the coronavirus started to go around, I had gone to a meseum near my house to see his art works including Hibari-kun. To see the original works was a great experience. I stayed at the museum for 3 or 4 hours.

This guy just inspired me with a way i never thought i needed to be... im genuinely happy i got to see this.. thanks
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
@@ArchipelDocumentaries same here
I have never related to anything more. The love for old books and records, the nostalgia for familiar atmospheres, the easing the frustration through art… this is a beautiful video ❤
「すすめパイレーツ」「ストップひばりくん」大好きでした😂💕 イラスト集も持ってましたよ🤗✨✨おじいさんがアンドロイドの綺麗な女性と暮らしてるショートストーリー覚えておられますか？まさに現代で実現されつつありますよね❗まだイベント会場のコンパニオンとかだったりして、家庭に普及までは行きませんが。
丸刈りで憂国の士だった時もありましたよね😉👍大昔の話ですみません😂🎶
本当に女子のキャラクターが豊富で、みんな素敵です💖✨✨✨
街角でイラストを見かけると「あ！江口寿史さんだ！😍💕」って思います。漫画、是非是非書いて下さい💖待ってます😌✨✨
woul be great to have a reboot of stop hibari kun these days.

oh this poor person. I hope someday japanese culture grows kinder to people like eguchi.
it's hard to read "stop!! hibaru-kun!" as anything other then wish fulfillment.
@、 uh oh its you again. you good buddy?
He is old person lived 1980s era and at that time whole world wasn't kind to LGBTs. Everything is improved for LGBT nowadays mood of society and how the LGBT handled on subculture. I am sure Japan is one of the LGBT friendly nation as a transsexual.
I hope not
@@ONeNAO It's not... Yes, people are overall more accepting of lgbt+ people now compared to then but it doesn't mean they're fully accepting or friendly. And I also wanna add that cis lgb+ people are often treated very differently from trans people, while they're not having the time of their lives being gay either, maybe because it's easier to understand being cis and gay rather than being trans for cishet people but trans people often deal with a lot more discrimination and I believe people became more accepting of cis lgb+ people than trans people altho people are more accepting of trans people now than compared to before too. And even just Japan's laws on legally changing your gender marker or listening to the experiences of even just some japanese trans people should tell you enough.
@@kuroyamaevisekai Japan is one of the most LGBT friendly countries in the world and was so even way before the whole LGBT movement in the west, there has never been laws criminalizing being gay or lesbian (actually the only time such thing existed was because of western influence in the 19th century and was quickly removed).
Also just look at how much mainstream positive representation there was for gay and lesbian characters in japanese mangas and anime since forever, also the amount of the androgenous looks and styles people adopt, the amount of people who dress as women or dress as men contrary to their sex at birth in mainstream TV and music groups/rock bands without any prejudice or discrimination or violence against them, actualkly they are generally adored and most fans look up to them
Japan not having laws allowing gender change doesn't mean anything, why do you want the LGBT experience in other countries to be a copy of the west ? Gender as a concept itself is very rooted in people's culture so why do you want Japan to adopt the western view of it ? People in Japan have been LGBT friendly for centuries with their own culture of how things are done, don't push your western agenda onto other cultures that are already more welcoming than yours.
Western virtue signaling and moral highground is what ruins everything, you guys think your ways are the way thing should be done despite you having the actual history of LGBT violence and discrimination.
These are some of the best videos on youtube. I'm blown away by the human perspective of these artist profiles. Thank you :)
Thank you, that means a lot to us!
ひばりくんをはじめとして江口寿史さんのマンガが大好きでした。江口さんの近況が知れて嬉しいです。
ご視聴ありがとうございます、お役に立てて何よりです！
Beautifully done, episodes featuring mangakas are my favorite
Thank you
ストップひばり君の10年後 漫画描いてくれないかな。
I actually wished that his art style was adpoted to the anime made today. It's so sad to see anime characters look more like disney nowadays. : (
Anime characters looming like Disney? That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard lol
Watch somny boy, released this year, I think the character designs are his
Wasn't modern anime inspired by classic Disney films from the 50s?
2024の今も、そしてこれからも江口先生の描く少年少女の虜です💕✌️😸ひばりくん以降前髪パッツンの美少女ヒロインが増えたように思います！ひばりくんは私にとってヒーローでありヒロインです💕先生の漫画に出逢えた人生に感謝せます💕✌️😸🌈
I love Eguchi's drawing style
Really admire his work Rojin Z has amazing character designs! His philosophy surrounding female subjects being sort of inspired by a frustration of having not been born female or at least a fascination with their expressive charm is interesting, I remember reading a Gustav Klimt book in which one of the contributors posited the same idea about Klimt's choice of primarily female subjects.
江口寿史氏の女子は本当に可愛いですね😄😆🤣
Use of music and the shots create a very calm atmosphere that made this great documentary even more enjoyable to watch. Great work thank you. 🙏
Thank you, glad you enjoyed.
this makes me extremely sad because i relate so much
I feel the same as well. It leaves me with unfulfillment and emptiness because of who I am.
Me encanta el personaje de hibari, pero no conocía al mangaka y es increible como una persona cambia el rumbo de la historia aunque no se le valore como es debido.
Love you Toco Toco TV, please never stop doing these!
Can't believe I follow this artist on every social media platform, admire him so much and yet find out about this video two years after it was uploaded. 🌝🗿
Me too! I was looking up his work a lot after i watched Roujin Z a long while ago
i love how look those old streets at night. I want to walk around there :)
Este canal es una joya, gracias por el trabajo tienpo y dedicación, demasiado inspirador cada historia.
Gracias por los subtitulos
Muchas gracias por tu comentario y gracias a la comunidad o los subtítulos en español!
Great video, Toco toco is fantastic as usual. Really enjoyed what I've read of Stop!! Hibari-kun.
白いワニは、まだ来るのかな？ ハモニカ横丁、いいなぁ、あんなとこでのんびり飲みたいなぁ
Quality is increasing with every new episode.
Thanks for producing such interesting interviews. 😋
This is so well presented documentary. The editing and music are just astonishingly blend with the mangaka's talk. I went emotional through the whole video.
If we could get an interview with Tite Kubo and the truth about what happened to Bleach and how it was rushed; I would love that.
I think that would be profoundly boring. Kubo-san is a great artist for sure, though. Definitely one of those people more suited to being an illustrator than a mangaka.
Yes. This please.
Yayy tocotoco is back and it's featuring Eguchi-san. I'm so glad you interviewed him, he is awesome! Great episode ☺️
Thank you, glad you liked it!
I love this so much. This is the best channel on RUclips.
I love the retro feel of Jimbocho! It's like a time capsule! Must visit next time
漫画貯描していきなり発表してびっくりさせて欲しい。美人さん主演で儚く愛おしい佇まいを表現してほしいです。
Thank you for the video, finally saw Hisashi Eguchi love your artwork.
The best interviews/documentaries on RUclips. Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks for the kind word!
What a wonderful interview... Thank you !
why are japanese interviews so good
I want the continuation of stop hibari-kun!
It'd be better to have an english release of that first.
@@PiroKUSS Funimation get on this.
there is so little information on this guy online. So glad to have watched this
Awesome episode! I haven't read any of Hisashi Eguchi's manga, now I really want to.

i love toco toco for both being a show about art but also urban beauty.
江口寿史先生、もう漫画、お描きにならないのかな？
ギャグとリアルタッチの絵。最高の組み合わせ。江口先生にしか作り出せない一つの芸術作品だと思います。
Muito obrigado a quem sempre legenda os vídeos.
It's great to see you guys back for another season!
From the great interviews to the musical background and the amazing camara perspectives, in your videos it always feels like having a small look through the eyes of the artist and their views about life. There is a lot of passion here and I love it
Thanks for the kind word!
I really want to buy the books there for illustration reference, it's really unique.
Yay new season of toco toco!
この動画！見てよかった‼
オタクはやっぱりカワイイ女の子になりたいんだよ‼
Comme d'habitude, c'est top. Je suis ravi d'apprendre qu'un de mes illustrateurs préféré semble être un gars super cool.
Amazing video, I wish I were rich to help Hisashi Eguchi to continue doing Manga, maybe there are other ways like kickstarted for him to get funds and continue doing Manga, I wouldn't mind to support him if he ever do that in future

I would love if he did another manga
江口寿史のデビュー作は、「恐るべき子供たち」ってタイトルの読み切りだったという事、知ってる人いる？
タイトルは覚えてるんけど内容が思い出せない。
小学生には”8時半の決闘”の巨人の星パロディの方がインパクトありました。
パイレーツの
””甘い、甘い、まるでルノアールのココアみたいだ”

This kind of videos are very inspiring, thanks for uploading
Thanks for watching!
Una entrevista llena de calidad, al igual que eguchi, es una lastima que tuvo que dejar incompleto stop hibari kun, espero que algun dia podamos ver un final digno
Gracias!
what an incredible person!!!! and artist
Oh look, it was March 2019 when I watched. That part... nicked my life-long trauma.
Cette vidéo me donne envie de voler à Tokyo et passer tout le temps à Kanda et Jimbocho à la recherche de livres et de magazines rares. Merci.
