My Take
Jun Miura officially lists his job as "illustrator, etc.", which covers manga, essays, novels, music and radio and reads like the filing system simply gave up. Kyoto-born, Higashiyama High School, Musashino Art University. But his real work is language: Japan would not say my boom or yuru-chara if he had not said them first. He wrote books about travelling to look at Buddhist statues and about gloriously useless souvenirs. Naming what nobody bothered to name is far harder than it looks, and he has never stopped doing it.
