For last month, my article about Pontaro was the most popular one among my posts.
See the link.
That's why I decided to post another article on Pontaro.
I found that he draw covers of Samson, a Japanese gay magazine, all through 2003 and 2004.
I could not find wikipedia page of his in Japanese wikipedia so all I could find about him is from Doujinshi & Manga Lexicon.
I guess that he chose his penname 'Pontaro' from a Japanese word, ぽん太郎(written as pontarou, but sounded as pontaroː with long "o"), meaning a fool, as a joke.
