Early life and career

edit

Britney Hamada was born in Chiba, Chiba as Hamada Sugako. She took her professional from Sugawara no Michizane. Her father is from Kyushu and she has an elder brother and a mother and is married.[1]

After graduating from high school she went to a vocational school with the aim of becoming a trimmer,[5] but as the commute took more than four hours from her parents' house, she got tired of it (she said that she is a "petit runaway").[1] After graduating from the vocational school, she read the manga Manga Michi depicting the half-life of Fujiko Fujio A, and was impressed. She entered the professional training course at the Nihon Manga Juku Daytime Department in April 2005.[5]

Half a year after entering Japanese Manga Juku, Hamada's work was selected for the school's Best Work Award. Hamada brought in the editorial department of Big Comic Spirits. While listening to her story, an interested editor suggested that she try to draw about herself, and she decided to draw a gyaru manga.[1][5]

Manga artist activities

edit

Her pen name was inspired by Britney Spears. In addition, Harada also considered "Hilton Hamada," "Beyonce Hamada," and the like as candidates for her pen name.[6]

In 2006, she debuted at Big Comic Spirits Casual in Hyper Tantei Rinka.[7][8] The style of her work was evaluated, and she got hired as an assistant to Hanayo Hanatsu.[9]

In July 2007, Big Comic Spirits began serialising Pagyaru!,[10] depicting the ecology of gyaru in Shibuya using gyaru words. After that, "Britney's life counselings," was added, which answers reader's questions in dialogue form with her editor-in-charge.

In March 2008, Harada held talks with Fujiko Fujio A and Tetsuya Chiba at Big Comic Spirits No. 18[11] and participated in the gravure page of the model Tsubasa Masuwaka.

Personal life

edit

As a "homeless gyaru manga artist", she lived a life to live in manga cafes or karaoke boxes without a permanent place to say. She said that she had paid a pension.[12] She ended her "homeless life" at the end of 2009 and lived in a Tokyo condominium with a six-tatami room and a Loft store.[13] Hamada and her editor meet exclusively at a karaoke box in Shibuya.[14]

Her father was very tough and hit Hamada if she dyed her hair, and threw out her hair dye. Her parents found out that she became a manga artist for the first time only when seeing her works sold. Although she stayed unhappy with her father after she ran away from home, he saved clippings of the magazines she was in.[1] Her relationship with her parents improved, and she gave them a car[15] and her mother a smartphone.[16]

On 25 October 2010, on her former official website, she quit Ever Green Entertainment, to which she belonged since December 2008, and announced that she was devoting herself to manga. She later launched Piece Eight Co., Ltd., a private company. On 2 November 2010, she closed her former official website and blog, opening a new official website and blog the next day. On 1 October 2011, Harada announced that she would continue her entertainment activities on her own blog.[17]

She announced her engagement in December 2013, but broke it off in June 2014.[18] In February 2018 she announced that her actual age was 38, and that she was pregnant with her first child, making a decision to give birth as a single mother.[2]

She's also knowledgeable about video games, and her 2018 game specialty book has a review of the kusoge genre. That book cites Ganbare Goemon: Kuru Nara Koi! Ayashige Ikka no Kuroi Kage as her personal PlayStation kusoge ranking first place.[19]

Reception

edit

Mimi Usagino of Techinsight Japan's editorial department says that Hamada's bold style of drawing the ecology of contemporary young women resembles Yutsuko Chusonji's work. There are flashy clothes and makeup from Ado Mizumori, so it is said that Hamada's characters will not feel new.[12] In addition, Usagino says that Hamada is expressing her body with messages such as, "there is no house in such a dark era, there are young people who are enjoying living happily." Her entertainment profile as a celebrity is cheerful, flashy and slightly obaka but bright. characters who are called "Manga+Tarento", on the other hand, have many rivals.[12]
