Tamotsu Yatō

Tamotsu Yato (矢頭 保, Yatō Tamotsu , 1925(?) – 20 de maio de 1973) foi um fotógrafo japonês e ator ocasional responsável pelo pioneirismo na fotografia homoerótica japonesa e pela criação de imagens icônicas em preto e branco do homem japonês.

Biografia

Yato nasceu em Nishinomiya em 1928 como Tamotsu Takeda. Ele era um fotógrafo autodidata e durante sua vida nunca participou de nenhuma das muitas organizações fotográficas que eram costumeiras no Japão naquela época.

Durante sua vida, ele foi um trabalhador braçal e também trabalhou no teatro Nichigeki.

Tamotsu Yato era amigo e colaborador do escritor Yukio Mishima e do crítico de cinema Donald Richie , bem como um parceiro romântico de longa data de Meredith Weatherby , uma editora americana expatriada e tradutora das obras de Mishima para o inglês. Meredith, que era presidente da editora Weatherhill, comprou para Yato sua primeira câmera, e seus amigos lhe mostraram como usá-la. Yato completou três volumes de fotografia.

No prefácio de sua coleção Otoko de 1972, Tamotsu Yato escreveu:

quando esses jovens estão diante da minha câmera, nunca encontro em sua nudez o menor traço de vulgaridade ou grosseria. Em vez disso, é um momento emocionante que desperta em mim muitas das mesmas emoções que sinto quando vejo uma fruta perfeita recém-saída da árvore, ou uma câmera nova e cara ainda na vitrine.

Embora o trabalho de Yato tenha recebido apenas uma distribuição pública limitada, ele alcançou um culto de seguidores e foi reconhecido como uma grande influência por vários artistas que trabalham com erótica masculina. Assim, Sadao Hasegawa observa em seu Paradise Visions : "Tamotsu Yato alcançou a fama ao criar Otoko, um livro ilustrado. Ele fotografou Yukio Mishima, nu. Seus temas: homens tradicionais, musculosos e pouco sofisticados do campo, estão quase extintos hoje. Otoko era valioso porque você podia ver esses homens de corpo longo, pernas robustas, cabelos curtos e mandíbula quadrada... Adeus, homens do Nippon!"

Tamotsu Yatō morreu dormindo em seu apartamento em Takadanobaba de uma doença cardíaca aos quarenta e cinco anos. Após sua morte, Meredith Weatherby levou seus negativos para a Califórnia. Mais tarde, eles foram para a posse de Fumio Mizuno, que os possui até hoje.

Hiroshi Maeue part 2 He allegedly dumped their bodies in nearby mountains and a dam. Police tracked down Maeue through emails he had sent to his last victim, 25 year old Michiko Nagamoto, as well as through a rental car contract. In his trial, prosecutors called Maeue a "lust murderer." Maeue suffered from a paraphilic psychosexual disorder which translated into being unable to achieve sexual release in the absence of performing an act of strangulation. Maeue pleaded guilty to the three murders and when the judge asked him whether he would commit such crimes again if released, he said, "I have worries." On March 28, 2007, the Osaka District Court sentenced him to death. Although his defence team launched an appeal, he accepted the judgment of the court and expressed a willingness to pay for his crimes with his life, retracting his appeal on July 5, 2007. On July 28, 2009, Hiroshi Maeue was hanged in Osaka, along with 25-year-old condemned criminal Yukio Yamaji. #destroytheday

Bad Friends | By Ancco | Drawn & Quarterly – Only a few Korean comics have so far been released in translation by Drawn & Quarterly, the most recent being Ancco’s internationally award-winning Bad Friends. The work is a devastatingly powerful one, hard-hitting and at times difficult to read due to its emotional heaviness and unflinching portrayal of physical abuse. Bad Friends is told from the perspective of Pearl, a young cartoonist reflecting back upon the good and the bad of her middle school and high school years. At the forefront of her mind is her incredibly important and formative relationship with Jeong-ae, a close friend she hasn’t seen or been in contact with for over a decade. As teenagers, they were both delinquents, finding their own ways to survive in a harsh, cruel, and ugly world; as adults, their lives have taken drastically different paths. Bad Friends isn’t necessarily an easy or comforting read, but it is exceptionally well done. – Ash Brown

Blue Exorcist, Vol. 21 | By Kazue Kato | Viz Media – “Son of Satan” has always been part of the core of Blue Exorcist, and though Rin is the one who this is talking about, Yukio is apparently not free from Satan. At all. In fact, Satan is apparently talking to people from his eye. So, since his allies aren’t helping him or telling him the truth (well, they’re trying to help him), clearly it’s time to… join the bad guys? Renzo, a natural-born traitor, can help with that. Meanwhile, Mephisto’s getting shot in the head, which doesn’t stop him, but does mean he has to remove the barrier keeping the gate of Gehenna shut. As for Rin, he’s exposed to the full brunt of his power, and it’s almost too much for him, despite Shiemi helping by conjuring up an entire forest. Basically? There’s a LOT here. – Sean Gaffney

A Certain Scientific Accelerator, Vol. 8 | By Kazuma Kamachi and Arata Yamaji| Seven Seas – The shoe is on the other foot, and now a girl is telling Accelerator that he should stay away from HER because she doesn’t want him to get involved with her. Naturally, having this flipped around is irritating to Accelerator. Things aren’t helped by his brain starting to bleed because he’s overworked himself, leading to some of the creepiest POV art I’ve seen in a long time. Also, this new arc promises to feature a lot more of Last Order, who has mostly been a mascot for the series so far. But she’s bonding with Matsuri, who is a classic “I am pretending to be arrogant” princess type, and also runs into an overly affectionate young woman who says she’s a chef but may be a villain. For Index fans. – Sean Gaffney

The Demon Prince of Momochi House, Vol. 13 | By Aya Shouoto | VIZ Media – Unsurprisingly, the cliffhanger of Himari being shot by Kasha at the end of volume twelve does not stick. It turns out that he used some kind of ayakashi weapon that expels her soul from her body, allowing him to take over and cast her spirit out of Momochi House. She makes her way back just in time to see him kidnap Aoi. I must say that for a volume where a lot happens, none of it actually lands with any sort of dramatic impact. It’s diverting, I guess, but it’s just not meaningful. (Or memorable, apparently, since there was a character in this volume whom I’d completely forgotten.) However, the next volume does seem to promise the backstory between Aoi and Kasha and I guess I’m at least marginally interested in that. I’ll keep reading for now. – Michelle Smith

Golden Kamuy, Vol. 7 | By Satoru Noda | Viz Media – There’s some amazing horse racing in the first half of this book, which shows off the difference in how the races were run, and also allows Shiraishi to humiliate himself once more. But it’s somewhat overbalanced by the second half, which features our heroes trying to take down not one, not two, but three killer bears, all around the estates of an American Southern Gentlemen. We get the usual reasons we read Golden Kamuy—horrific violence that is also somehow amusing, disgusting-yet-useful discussions of rectal plugs, and two yakuza who are also flamboyantly gay in a stereotypical but nevertheless interesting way. Golden Kamuy is many things, including violent and sometimes gross, but it is never dull. – Sean Gaffney

Haikyu!!, Vol. 30 | By Haruichi Furudate | VIZ Media – It’s day two of the spring tournament and Karasuno is up against Inarizaki. The player who gets the spotlight this time is Tanaka, who hasn’t played great so far, and we get the backstory of his first year on the team. I really appreciated this look into the mindset of a mentally tough player who admits he’s not the best at anything, but refuses to give up. “I got totally down on myself for whole seconds!” he confesses later. Of course, he gets his moment of vindication and Karasuno wins set one. Next, we check in on Nekoma and delve into Kenma’s backstory. While I’d ordinarily be kind of annoyed at a shift away from our leads at a pivotal moment, this is a really affecting exploration of the disaffected-seeming setter who will give his all for his friends. I might’ve sniffled a time or two. – Michelle Smith

Hungry for You: Endo Yasuko Stalks the Night, Vol. 2 | By Flowerchild | Seven Seas – While this is another in what seems like a lot of manga series lately that read like they were cancelled rather than naturally ended, this second volume is pretty satisfying. We get some backstory for Yasuko, as well as a mastermind who turns out to be a lot closer than folks were expecting. That said, I found the ending most interesting, as I was very much expecting that Shizue was going to join Yasuko in her undead life, and that just doesn’t happen; Yasuko says she wants to be there with Shizue, but admits she’s going to get married, have children, and die eventually. It’s a more melancholy ending than I thought, but it fits this series, which is still cute and sweet. – Sean Gaffney

Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, Vol. 6 | By Aka Akasaka | Viz Media – The anime is starting possibly as you read this, and I hope it’s a good adaptation, especially for the faces. The faces in this series are absolutely amazing, and this volume is here to provide a bevy of brilliant ones, mostly from Kaguya. She’s learning, but it’s a long and difficult process, and Miyuki is, frankly, much better at flirting when he’s unaware he is, as the rooftop Princess Kaguya story entails. That said, the student council has moved on now… or have they? Will our heroes come together for a new student council? Or will the girl who we see on the last page and is clearly meant to be a new character throw a spanner in the works. Don’t know, but this hilarious series makes me want to read more. – Sean Gaffney

One-Punch Man, Vol. 15 | By ONE and Yusuke Murata | VIZ Media – The martial arts tournament is finally over! Unfortunately, Saitama is bummed because he didn’t meet anyone who could challenge him. He felt nothing, learned nothing, and gained nothing. While he’s lamenting having gotten too strong, he even ends up defeating the hero hunter with one kick without even realizing it. I don’t know where ONE is headed with Saitama’s massive ennui, but the rest of the plotline features the Monster Association demanding that the Hero Association send its strongest fighters to rescue the kid (son of an important donor) that they’ve taken hostage. I keep waiting for Saitama to finally achieve recognition, and I don’t know whether to hope this’ll be his chance or to feel like I ought to know better than to expect that from this series. Still a lot of fun! – Michelle Smith

Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga Review

Click To Tweet

After six years, Blue Exorcist has a sequel series/second season to compliment the original released in 2011. Taking a more canon approach to the original manga, (which escaped the last arc of the original anime), season two covers the Kyoto arc with most of its focusing going to Ryuji, his father, and the Myoda Sect. It should be noted that Koyoto Saga is canon and takes place after episode seventeen of the original anime.

Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga is an 2017 sequel to shounen anime Blue Exorcist, it is produced by A-1 Pictures, and licensed by Aniplex of America. It is currently available for streaming in English subs, with the dub releasing on Hulu this Winter.

New animation for Kyoto Saga from A-1 Pictures impresses.

Editor’s Note: This Review contains near complete to complete spoilers for all twelve episodes of Kyoto Saga. 

Ever since the original anime and film, fans of Ao no Exorcist had been craving a return of its anime adaption, after six long years Aniplex revealed a canon sequel taking place after episode seventeen of the original twenty-five episode anime series. Unsurprisingly news of the sequel ended up raising the sales numbers for the source material for the first half of 2017, so much so that it placed in the top 30 best-sellers list. With more years of experience under their belt A-1 Pictures (also known for works such as Fairy Tail) improved animation quality and direction of Rin and co’s adventure.

A new threat in dangers Rin and co. who are already in a rocky situation with each other.

THE GOOD: Despite not being apart of the source material, Blue Exorcist’s first season left off with a great storyline, while we’re back to the series canon being adapted, I wouldn’t have minded seeing how Yukio adapted to embracing his hellspawn heritage like elder brother Rin, though that storyline has likely taken place within the canon (and likely to get animated) eventually regardless. Time placement confusion aside, Koyoto Saga featured some heavy focus on supporting and side characters which is always nice, and feels like a lost art in a lot of modern shounen. Everyone gets that the lead of the star of the show, but not every viewer’s favorite is the lead (Naruto is a good example). Regardless of the big focus on other characters, season two still does a fantastic job of digging into Rin & Yukio’s character’s just as heavily. So it never feels like one is getting more focus than the other too much.

Ryuji and the Miyoda Sect steals the show.

One of the more entertaining bits of the Koyoto arc is Ryuji and his family, we get a lot of background information and character development for himself and his fellows monks, who as we know are apart of the same Sect of sorts. My only grip really is that Ryuji wasn’t more of a threat to main villain The Impure King, as he could have been, while he had a respectable effort against it, it felt like he could have done a little more damage before Rin struck the final blow.

Secondary villain Saburota Todo is runner-up for show stealer.

Speaking of villains another highlight of season two was secondary villain Saburota Todo, Voice actor Kazuhiro Yamaji’s performance as Todo was excellent and gave off a truly convincing villainous demeanor. Todo’s manipulative banter with Yukio in an attempt to turn him against Rin was one of the many chilling moments of the Koyoto Saga’s run. Though there was some dark moments in season two, there were also some fun light hearted and comedic moments, such as Rin nearly getting permanently friend zoned by Shiemi.

A great, but short return for Blue Exorcist.

THE BAD: Season two is only twelve episodes long, which is unfortunate, however a third season is already reportedly in the works.

Blue Exorcist’s anime adaption returns, and will hopefully stick around.

OVERALL THOUGHTS: With fantastic character development for both the side and main cast, an awesome secondary villain, and pleasing on the eyes animation, Blue Exorcist’s second anime go round is a resounding success. Though this season took over half a decade to get to us, let’s hope the incoming third won’t take nearly as long. Otaku Dome gives Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga a 85 out of 100.

  About Fate/Grand Order -First Order-

The year is AD 2017.

The last era in which magecraft still thrived.

The Chaldea Security Organization was founded to focus on preserving the continuation of human history. They observe a world which magecraft couldn’t observe and science couldn’t measure all to prevent the certain extinction of humanity. But one day, the future that Chaldea continued to observe disappears and humanity’s extinction in 2019 becomes clear. Rather, it had already happened. The cause seems to be related to Fuyuki, a provincial town in Japan, in the year AD 2004. There, an “unobservable region” that had not existed before appears.

Based on the assumption that Fuyuki is the reason for humanity’s extinction, Chaldea issues an order to explore, investigate, and possibly destroy this singularity – a quest for the Holy Grail: the Grand Order.
