Yamamoto Naoki 山本直樹

(aka. Moriyama Tou 森山塔, Touyama Mori ［塔山 森］;)

Debuted in 1984 using the alias "Moriyama Tou", and began his career as a lolicom specialist. In 1986 he started to use his real name, and debuted in Big Comic Spirits with Happa 64. He also spent time as character designer for some of the Cream Lemon episodes.

Generally when using the name "Moriyama" or "Touyama", his works are considered H. But when he used his real name Yamamoto, the works are considered adult oriented. Despite its sexual and violent content, Yamamoto's manga actually presents a very strong viewpoint on social issues. The sex and violence are merely disguises.

His favorite character is Suzuki Ichirou (from Arigatou), the Suzuki clan's loving father who does everything right but winds up as a victim.

When Yamamoto draws manga, he uses a Quadra 700 computer, a Agfa Arcus scanner, a Unity Lazermaster 1200XLJ, and an Apple 21" monitor. Yamamoto's hobby is music and basketball. He plays the guitar.

A depressing story about how a Japanese family's family life goes wrong: an immoral protagonist, her sister who was gang raped before, her alcoholic mother who later devoted her life into a cult, and her father (Suzuki Ichirou) who lost flavor with his Kaisha.... full of sexual content and highly violent. Yamamoto uses sex and violence to disguise the social issues (traditional family values, Japanese education system and Japanese political system) he criticizes. An eye opener and highly recommended.
