Noriyoshi Ohrai
Famed Japanese artist, most famous for producing posters for movie hits of the 1970's.
Born in 1935, his prodigious attention to detail got him hired first as an assistant manga illustrator. In the west he's best known for his amazing Star Wars posters. Self portrait here.
Film projects Noriyoshi has illustrated for:
- The original Japanese poster for Godzilla.
- Posters for the Star Wars saga; some of his designs were so popular that other foreign countries also adapted them. All can be seen here. The last Star Wars related project was in 1999, a magazine cover about the new prequel trilogy.
- Art for Metal Gear Solid
- The original poster for Future War 198 X, along with the 1982 calendar and LD case.
- The foreword for Naoyuki Kato's third volume of art.
- A poster [dead link] for The Beastmaster.
- Art [dead link] for Ninja Mission.
