Yuki Nakamura

Nakamura Yuki is a Japanese cartoonist and illustrator born in 1989 in Fukuoka Prefecture. After studying sequential art and printmaking at Kyoto Seika University, Nakamura worked in Osaka as a background and tone assistant for small studio projects before self-publishing mini-comics that blended industrial landscapes with intimate character studies. Their breakout independent novella Quiet Harbor and the risograph series Railskin earned a devoted following in Tokyo's zine scene. Nakamura's work is known for layered textures, restrained dialogue, and a focus on resilience in liminal cities. They co-founded the small press Plover Room in 2021 and teach weekend comics workshops in Koenji, Tokyo.
