Ghost was the nickname given to the artist during her first year at junior high school.

School Wars Man is a character inspired by Bancho, a school gang leader in 1970’s Japan. Here, the word “Shi (death, meaning ‘you die’)” is scribbled on the right desk, a typical bullying behavior at schools. On the other hand, School Wars Man scribbled the word “Sei (life)” on the left desk so as to transform it into a different meaning, “Life and Death.”
