Idzuki Kouji

Idzuki Kouji is a Japanese manga artist and the author of the Samus and Joey and Metroid EX stories in Comic Bom Bom. Kouji later reflected that he never kept any copies of either work apart from the original manuscripts, although CapCom of the Metroid Database was able to acquire both stories in their entireties and translate most of them into English (three chapters have not been released of EX as of July 30, 2015). Kouji and CapCom have kept in contact, and Kouji was happy that someone was enjoying his work enough to translate it into English.
