Japan's Spider-Man, Takuya Yamashiro, For The Spider-Verse

Japan's Spider-Man, Takuya Yamashiro, For The Spider-Verse, by Kyle Higgins, Mat Groom and Luciano Vecchio

Takuya Yamashiro is Japan's Spider-Man, created by Kyle Higgins, Mat Groom and Luciano Vecchio's Spider-Verse Vs Venomverse launching in May, with Takuya Yamashiro debuting in July's #3.

"In the story, a new costume for Takuya is introduced, and it helps setting him visually apart from Peter. I rewatched episodes and clips of the Japanese Spider-Man show to tap into that universe's sensitivity and dramatic body language, and also referred to other early '80s shows in the Tokusatsu genre for aesthetic cues like the scarf and black lenses. I bounced ideas and references with writer Mat Groom before landing on this visual that can be shortened to Spider-Man meets Super Sentai." – Luciano Vecchio
