Toshio Maeda (前田俊夫, Maeda Toshio, born September 17, 1953) is an erotic manga artist who was prolific in the 1980s and '90s. Several of Maeda's works have been used as a basis for original video animations (OVA) including La Blue Girl,[1] Adventure Kid,[2] Demon Beast Invasion,[3] Demon Warrior Koji[4] and his most notorious work, Urotsukidōji (Legend of the Overfiend).[5] An interviewer commented that Urotsukidōji "firmly placed him in the history books—in Japan and abroad—as the pioneer of the genre known as hentai, or "perverted".[6]
