Kazuo Miyamura

They are Japanese designer and illustrator living in Tokyo. They stopped working as a commercial illustrator around 2006 and have been concentrating solely on book design.
In 1995, They graduated from a vocational school with a degree in graphic design and got a job at Capcom. They later quit and became independent.

They have worked on design for many magazines, manga books, and novels, both for general audiences and mature works, but are especially known for their work on Comic LO, a lolicon manga magazine launched by Akane Shinsha in October 2002. The minimalist cover design, which minimizes text elements bringing Takamichi's art to the front and thoroughly eliminates sensational elements, has been highly praised for its refined style not found in other adult manga magazines. Some of such design work ended up being included in Takamichi's art book, LO画集 たかみち LOVE WORKS, published in 2008.
Currently, they are part of 5GAS DESIGN STUDIO
