About Me:
Hello, my name is Deanna (ディアナ)!
I first became interested in Japanese culture through manga. Growing up, my favorite series was Dragonball, though now I love Shingeki no Kyojin, Revolutionary Girl Utena, and many more! In high school, I ended up reading Mishima Yukio's "Confessions of a Mask," and that jumpstarted my love of Japanese literature. I've studied Japanese literature at Columbia University and Kyoto University, and now my research focuses on manga artists such as Mizuki Shigeru, Shirato Sanpei, and Tsuge Yoshiharu.
I love collecting go-shuin at temples, eating delicious Japanese food, going to onsen, and learning about Japanese history. I also play the koto! I've been all over Japan, but I love hearing new recommendations of places to visit from my students!
