Urotan
Description
Urotan is a Japanese manga artist and illustrator, recognized for their work primarily within the adult manga genre. Their professional career began while they were still a student at the University of Electro-Communications, where they were active as both an illustrator and a manga creator. Urotan is identified as male and lists a birth date of July 15, though the year is not publicly documented.
The creator is best known for the series Newmanoid CAM, which serves as their primary commercial work. The original adult manga was first published as a single volume in June 2005 by France Shoin. The series later saw a more extensive release in two volumes by Core Magazine in April 2010. The manga was initially serialized in Comic Papipo and, after that magazine ceased publication, moved to Comic Hot Milk, where it concluded in April 2009. This series became the basis for the sole anime adaptation directly tied to Urotan’s original work. In 2010, the adult OVA Newmanoid CAM: Cam Castin was produced by the studio Pixy and released as a bonus with the limited edition of the manga’s second volume. For this production, Urotan was credited as both the original creator and the original character designer.
Beyond adult material, Urotan has contributed to other projects as an illustrator. From 2005 to 2006, they provided the art for the light novel series Astro! Otomejuku!, written by Tooru Honda and published under Shueisha's Super Dash Bunko imprint. In 2010, they drew a manga adaptation within the Strike Witches franchise titled Strike Witches: Kimi no Kizuna no Katachi, which was published in the June issue of Monthly Comp Ace. This particular project was reportedly canceled after its first chapter.
Artistically, Urotan’s style is noted for its combination of cute facial features with soft, detailed depictions of skin, a characteristic that garnered popularity within their primary genre. Their work on Newmanoid CAM led to them being described with promotional copy referring to a "strong juice artist". The creator continues to be active in the doujinshi (self-published) scene as the head of the circle Uropyon, producing a variety of adult and non-adult works under that banner.
