Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin 4 by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin 4 by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko

A giant, deadly battle robot--RX-78-2 Gundam--and its teenage pilot Amuro Ray are the heart of one of the most popular series in manga history, and the story of its genesis continues with this fourth installment of The Origin.

Caught in the crossfire of an outer space war between the Earth Federation and the invading Principality of Zeon, mechanic-turned-robot-jockey Amuro boards and commands the Gundam. Thrust into the front lines defending those he loves from a silent enemy, can Amuro and the Gundam save the colony's survivors or destroy them?

Although he began his career as an animator, the honored author of Gundam, Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, was the winner of the Japanese Sci-Fi Association's Nebula Award and the Grand Prize from the Japan Comic Artist Association.

Yoshikazu Yasuhiko (1947-) is a Japanese animator and manga artist who was born in Hokkaido. Throughout the course of his four-decade career as a character designer, he has created iconic characters for anime such as Super Atragon, Brace Raideen, and the well-known Mobile Suit Gundam. Yasuhiko's characters, tales, and artwork are instantly recognizable and serve as timeless examples as pioneers of manga and animation in Japan. Yasuhiko started his career as an animator at Osama Tezuka's Mushi Studios, then went freelance to work on a variety of animation projects for film and television. Yasuhiko would turn his attention to the realm of comics in the late 1970s, and he has since penned roughly two dozen series. In 1981, the Japanese Sci-Fi Association gave him the Nebula Award. In 1990, his work Namuji won the Japan Comic Artist Association Grand Prize, and in 2000, his title A Revolutionary Dog won the Japan Media Arts Award for Best Comic.
