Manga as a Global Form with Kofi M. Bazzell-Smith at the JICC in photos

 Kofi M. Bazzell‑Smith, artist, educator, and the first professor of Japanese manga practice in the United States, shares an inside look at his upcoming graphic novel Azuki, his work in U.S.–Japan cultural exchange, and the development of manga education in America.

Drawing from years of training and research in Japan, Bazzell‑Smith will discuss how manga can serve as a bridge between cultures, a site of innovation, and a platform for new narratives. 

Kofi M. Bazzell-Smith
Artist & Professor of Japanese Manga Practice,
Rochester Institute of Technology

Kofi M. Bazzell‑Smith is an artist, educator, and former professional boxer specializing in Japanese manga. He is the first professor of Japanese manga practice in the United States, teaching in the School of Art at Rochester Institute of Technology. His work centers Black narratives within a Japanese medium, exploring manga as a space for cultural exchange, linguistic immersion, and new forms of storytelling.

He is currently developing his first graphic novel, Azuki, and is represented by The Writers House Literary Agency.

Bazzell‑Smith is the Founder and Director of the Manga Training Academy and leads a study abroad program in Tokyo that connects U.S. students with the Japanese manga industry.

He is a U.S.–Japan Leadership Program Fellow (Class of 2025–26), a binational fellowship for emerging leaders shaping the future of U.S.–Japan relations, and he serves on the board of the U.S.–Japan Bridging Foundation, a scholarship organization supporting American students studying abroad in Japan.

 https://www.us.emb-japan.go.jp/jicc/events/2026/lecture-bazzell-smith.html

 And now, from the event:

 

He was a boxer but also wanted to be a manga artist. He went to Japan and studied with mangaka.

 

This is his grad school manga in which all black people are robots after WW3

He's influenced be Neil Cohn's theories. He considers manga to be strongly filmic.

This is his art.

A beginning basic manga teaching structure looks a lot like an American comic strip. This isn't a coincidence.

 

 

the graphic novel became an exhibit

with an AI added component

He went back to Japan to study more and to teach

this is his current book project

Rock, paper, scissors as high sports drama

he's a fellow of this and recommends it. Applications are open now

Another new project is an online Manga Training Academy

Five cartoonists. Five big ideas. Ten minutes each. Inspired by TED Talks, this fast-paced session features short, focused presentations on creative breakthroughs, business pivots, technical innovations, and career insights. Topics range from process to publishing, from style to strategy. 

How to Hack Your Deadlines: A demonstration of 5 quick tips for making you more productive. My current three daily comic strip and graphic novel regimen proves that these quirky methods work! Jonathan Lemon has been a cartoonist for many years. He draws the strips "Alley Oop." "Rabbits Against Magic" and "Thatababy." 

How Comics Shape Minds and Health: Carolyn Belefski explores how comics boost cognitive skills like creativity, memory, and problem-solving but also offer valuable insights into improving physical health and mental well-being. Carolyn Belefski creates the comic strip Curls and comic books Black Magic Tales, French Fry Club, and The Legettes. 

Making Traditional Comics in a Digital World: Rosebuds creator Supr Dee shares his insights on how to curate a following on social media and how to maintain clarity, quality, readability, and consistency in your posts. Deon "Supr Dee" Parson is an Indiana-based Cartoonist. His comic strip "Rosebuds" is syndicated daily globally with King Features Syndicate. 

So Anyway, I Saved a Dollar: Sonya Saturday shares how to make comics about real, uncomfortable experiences — without earnestness. Using humor as reframe, not escape, to tell harder truths than sincerity allows. Internationally published cartoonist, playwright, photographer. MFA in Comics, CCA. Creator of The Greatest Thing You've Ever Seen in Your Life. 

How I Learned To Draw by Tom Gammill: Tom Gammill gives a brief history of "Learn To Draw" books ending with a shout-out to NCS Reuben winner Mel Lazarus. Tom Gammill wanted to be a cartoonist but ended up a TV writer. His credits include "Seinfeld" and "The Simpsons".
