Be-Papas

Be-Papas (ビーパパス, occasionally stylized as Be-PaPas) was an artist collective and collective pen name founded by anime director Kunihiko Ikuhara.[1] Its membership consisted of Ikuhara, manga artist Chiho Saito, animator and character designer Shinya Hasegawa, scriptwriter Yōji Enokido, and planner Yūichirō Oguro.[2]

The group created the 1996–1997 manga and anime series Revolutionary Girl Utena, and its 1999 film and manga sequel Adolescence of Utena.

Be-Papas disbanded following the release of Adolescence of Utena. Ikuhara and Saito later collaborated on the 2001 manga series World of the S&M (released in English as The World Exists for Me), the authorship of which was credited to Saito and Be-Papas.[3]
