Talk:Kia Asamiya

Untitled
According to AnimeNewsNetwork, Michitaka Kikuchi is his real name, not just an alternative pen name. Can anyone provide any sources that can either support or refute this statement? Greyweather 03:33, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Some support. http://www.lambiek.net/asamiya_kia.htm Greyweather

 * "Q: What is your relationship to Kikuchi Michitaka?
 * AK: If you cut us, we'll bleed. I am the real Asamiya Kia."

 * To add to the confusion, Shades of Nemesis claims Michitaka Kikuchi is a different person. Greyweather


 * This http://www.ex.org/articles/2001/ax2001-panel-asamiya.html clearly refutes that idea though.
 * Q: Are you and Kikuchi Michitaka the same person?
 * AK: Yes, Kikuchi and I are one-and-the-same. The reason I was working under two names is because "Kikuchi" I reserved for the animator side of me while "Asamiya" I used for the manga artist side of me. I've dropped my "Kikuchi" identity recently, because Kikuchi hasn't been getting any work!
