Note: Since many of Ito's works have not received official English translations, some stories are referred to with varying translated titles.
In 2022, Netflix announced they were creating an anime series adapting several of his stories. Later, a number of his short stories were adapted in the anime Junji Ito Collection by Studio DEEN in 2018. His Tomie series have been adapted into a series of movies and TV specials, eventually followed by a movie adaptation of Uzumaki, and Gyo has received an anime adaptation. Ito used to work as a dental technician until the early 1990s, which probably explains a couple of things about his work. Such characters include Souichi, a spiteful young boy with supernatural powers Oshikiri, a boy who has several run-ins with parallel dimensions and other hauntings and Fuchi, a fashion model whose behavior is even more monstrous than her physiology. He also writes several individual short stories and a few short series, and despite his varied works, a few recurring characters pop up from time to time within these.
Junji Ito (born July 31, 1963) is one of the top mangakas in the horror genre, his most popular works being Uzumaki, Tomie, Gyo and The Enigma of Amigara Fault.
