Junji Ito: The 8 Best Characters Created by the Horror Genius

Tommy is one of the most popular female characters in Junji Ito, known as a very beautiful and attractive young woman, with the ability to create clones of herself and manipulate men to her will. Actually, Tomy is the name these creatures and clones take..

She was a young woman admired by classmates and hated by girls, and had an intimate relationship with her teacher before her death. After her resurrection, she began to see men as mere tools to achieve her goals, whether it be obtaining material wealth or killing other people.

Over time, she became so obsessed with her beauty that she began to view other women as inferior to her, even her clones were considered inferior and friction began between them, using men to kill other clones she found.

The reality is that Tommy is an example of vanity, narcissism and psychopathy.causing a joke about “men are afraid of beautiful women“In this case, it’s very appropriate.

Despite his gloominess, Soichi is an 11-year-old child with rather strange customs and quirks, such as frequent nibbling on iron nails. He is well versed in dark magic and loves to tease people with it, wreaking havoc on them, but he is still childish in many of his actions (such as spelling words wrong or sometimes mispronouncing them).

Uses puppets with black magic Katashiro and can harm others by driving nails into dolls, drowning them, or burying them. He can also cast curses, and they seem to have no limits as they go outside of his city.

Souichi goes beyond being a naughty child: He is also an evil character and doesn’t care about hurting others.

Fuchi is a woman with a very disgusting appearance, but working as a fashion model and having a reputation in the environment. Her story doesn’t revolve around her strange appearance, but rather people’s reactions to seeing her and dealing with her. Verbalize that she ugly, strange, strange or mock her over the shore sign the death certificateas their sharp teeth become a deadly weapon against those who criticize their aesthetics.

Ito revealed that the idea for the character came about after he flipped through a fashion magazine himself and found a beautiful model, but with different facial features and “otherworldly aura(according to his vision). One of the phrases he came up with for the character and which is in his sketch says a lot about the current standard of beauty: “You have a vision. They see trends… The day will come when women like me will be considered the standard of beauty. I’m already inside of me”.

the main characters The class that meltedbrothers Yuma Azawa and Chizumi Azawa – sinister characters created by Junji Ito, personifying evil and demonic horror. The story that surrounds these two is an aspect that Ito hadn’t explored before: the demonic pact and the supernatural from a Western perspective on demons.

The couple live together, where the elder continues to apologize for absolutely everything, even when there is no reason for this. Meanwhile, little sister sinister appearance and sickly behaviorchasing people, killing animals, drinking leftovers… In the future, we will find out the reason for so many apologies from Yuma, but this is not something noble…

In fact, the more he apologizes, the closer the person he asks melts. It’s thanks to a pact made by a young man that made people melt all over Japan.

Remin is the main character hell star remin, one of the craziest and most bizarre stories in manga. She is the daughter of a scientist who discovered the existence of a distant planet – he even named her Remina after his daughter – but soon everything is turned upside down, and her life is in danger.

At first, Remina is adored because of her father’s success. But when it is discovered that the planet is a living organism and is on a collision course with the Earth, she is hated, crucified and seen as her father is killed by an angry mob.

The character carries many of the traits that make Junji Ito’s protagonists so interesting. She is brave, fearless and caught in the middle of a disaster, but she is looking for a way to escape and survive the biggest danger of all: humanity!

Many of the author’s stories feature “normal” people who find themselves in terrible and supernatural situations. A good example of this is uzumakiperhaps one of the most famous Junji Itoat the center of which is the story of a small town haunted by the emergence of strange spirals that drive the local population crazy.

At the center of all stories uzumakiwe have Shuichi Sato – a shy, quiet and withdrawn boy – and Kirie Goshima is a very innocent girl who gradually becomes aware of all the dangers she will face when she comes into contact with the spirals.

The two are the best “normal protagonists” in Ito, as both are very intelligent and try to discover the origin of the Spiral Curse at all costs. They are very interesting figures in the context of history and still experience moments of pure horror.

In 1999, Junji Ito made his own adaptation of one of his favorite stories: Frankenstein in Mary Shelley. Here we go all the way from Victor Frankenstein and the creation of his monster, made from pieces of corpses sewn together and reanimated into a single terrible creature.

Ito’s “Frankenstein’s Monster” is unlike any adaptation of this character you’ve seen. He is grotesque, sadistic, and very violent, and he sets out to exact revenge on whoever created and abandoned him. His life is full of tragic moments, but he never loses the evil smile on his face.

If you’ve always wanted to explore new adaptations of this classic story, this manga is perfect for that. However, be prepared to recognize the creature as something truly monstrous, not only for its actions, but also for its gigantic and tyrannical appearance.

Although he is better known for his horror, Junji Ito already dabbled in other genres, such as when he launched a comic book series Cat Diaries: Yon and Mu. Here we meet two special kittens: Jon, an amazing cat with a skull-shaped spot on his back; and Mu, an adorable fluffy kitten who loves to bite his owners.

stories about cat diary are based on the events of Junji living with his own cats, which are the main inspiration for Yon and Mu (actually, their own names are Junji Ito’s cat names). These are light and funny stories about the wonders and horrors of being a cat tutor.
