Yumi Tamura

Background

Tamura is an avid RPG videogamer - Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, etc. She also loves to read mystery books, and going on the computer to chat with her fans. She illustrated the Sci-Fi chapter of the Squaresoft RPG Live-A-Live. Picture taken by Rachel Matt Thorn Rachel's Shoujo Manga Photo Album: TAMURA Yumi, creator of the extremely popular fantasy series, BASARA, taken in December, '95, at the year-end party of Bessatsu Shôjo Comic, a popular shôjo manga magazine. Well, I never got a chance to actually talk to Tamura...I just sat at the table next to hers and shamelessly took pictures of her. ^^;;; Incidentally, she is drawing an autograph for a rookie manga artist (still in high school!) who is also under the Bessatsu Shôjo Comic umbrella. https://web.archive.org/web/20160306112347/http://matt-thorn.com/shoujo_manga/photo_album/index.php
