Shunji Enomoto is best known for manga that play with unusual visual rhythms and formal tricks, paired with obsessive, extreme scatological humor that's pretty much his calling card. He's got a dedicated cult following in the US, especially among alternative comics fans, and his work has gotten solid coverage in The Comics Journal, which even ran one of his untitled strips in their Winter 2004 Special Edition. The Family Zoo got an English scanlation, and his stuff has also been translated into Spanish and Italian.

He's a graduate of Yokohama's Japan Film School.

Birth Place: Kanagawa Prefecture
