Kirin

Filmed in his studio by the programme Gyotech, Tetsuo Hara sketched the two members of the comedy duo Kirin and gave them the drawing.

In September 2008, the programme Gyotech (ギョーテック, G-TECH, Nippon TV), hosted by Chutorial, ran a segment on the world of manga artists and visited Tetsuo Hara’s studio. Hara drew the two members of the comedy duo Kirin, Akira Kawashima and Hiroshi Tamura, in pencil as a surprise gift, and told them he intended to have them appear in Soten no Ken. According to a viewer’s blog reporting on the programme, this appearance was planned for Comic Bunch in October.
