Isao Ebihara, a native of Japan, has resided in Canada for over 20 years. Possessing an encyclopaedic knowledge of Japanese ANIME culture, a world-wide entertainment phenomenon, he delves into rich plots and enduring characters using the skill of an artist to draw contrasts and comparisons between the genre's well known authors such as Hayao Miyazaki, Leiji Matsumoto, Go Nagai, and Hideaki Anno. With the sharp insight of a katana sword, Dr. Ebihara explores their spiritual background and philosophical assumptions.
