Enrico Croce Born in Rome, Italy Ever since my first encounter with ‘Dragon Ball’ as a child, I have been fascinated, entertained and obsessed with Japanese manga and anime. But it was the discovery of Hara sensei’s Fist of the North Star (Hokuto no Ken) that really changed my life! This “love at first sight” moment inspired me to study Japanese and Japanese culture so I could enjoy reading this amazing manga in its original format.  After completing my studies of the Japanese Language and History at the Italian Institute of Oriental Studies in La Sapienza in 2015, I settled in Tokyo and began working for the Otaku specialist store, Mandarake.  In 2017, I fulfilled my childhood dream by joining the SILENT MANGA AUDITION® editorial team. Favorite manga: Fist of the North Star; Fist of the Blue Sky; Dragon Ball; JoJo’s Bizzare Adventure; Slam Dunk Favorite movie: “Back to the Future”  Favorite band: Toto Favorite quote: “Kyasharn ga yaraneba dare ga yaru” (If Casshern doesn’t do it…who will?) – Casshern
