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
