From the manga series Tomie (1987-2000), the live-action film series (1999-2011), and the anime The Junji Ito Collection (2018) Played by: Miho Kanno (Tomie), Luna Nagami (Another Face), Mai Hōshō (Replay), Miki Sakai (Re-birth), Aoi Miyazaki (Forbidden Fruit), Rio Matsumoto (Revenge), Yu Abrir & Emiko Matsuoka (Tomie vs Tomie), and Mui Nakamura (Unlimited) Voiced by: Rei Seguro (JP) and Monica Rial (EN)

Tomie is one of Junji Ito’s most notable characters. She is basically an eldritch abomination in the form of a beautiful human girl. She is considered female and with all the stuff she gets up to, she is easily psychopathic by human standards. She sprouts new versions of herself from dismembered pieces of her former self and they all share memories and personalities, but they still remain relatively independent in how they act. Some of the Tomies even fight against each other. She’s so selfish that she can’t even get along with herself.

Maki: Sure

I can’t believe it was kept in the wraps for 2 weeks… but I’m a bit flabbergasted and still processing that Kentaro Miura has passed away.

It’s pretty easy to understate how big his influence is in art. Without him, we wouldn’t get Dark Souls and Bloodborne, and the animators and artists of Castlevania explicitly said he was in an influence in their work.

Miura, in my opinion, had one of the greatest eyes for detail and some STRONG, STRONG, STRONG visual imagery almost untouched by… well a lot of people really.

He pushed the visual imagery of fantasy and horror in new and exciting ways, and it’s a test to his timeless writing that we’re still invested in Berserk for decades.
