Yukito Kishiro is the mind behind Battle Angel Alita; or Gunnm, as it was originally titled. His gritty, biomechanical art helped define ‘90s cyberpunk manga, blending expressive characters with brutal, high-tech worlds. From early ink-heavy pages to the cleaner precision of Last Order, his style evolved but never lost its punch. Kishiro’s characters stand out: big eyes, sharp lines, and poses that feel alive—half human, half machine. While the movie brought Alita to the mainstream, Kishiro’s original work remains raw, bold, and deeply personal.
