Ikko Ohno
Ikko Ono (大野 一興; also romanized as Ikkou Ohno or Oono) is a Japanese graphic designer who worked as a cover artist for MSX Magazine from 1986 until 1988. There he had a column called Ikko's Gallery about using the computer as a tool for illustration. Later he had another column called Ikko's Theatre about short films which served as the basis for The Flying Luna Clipper, a computer-animated art film directed by Ono and produced by Sony. It was released via home video on 1 October 1987 and was featured again in Ikko's Theatre the following month. A special limited edition of the MSX Magazine published a series of 12 artworks in December 2003 by Ono featuring characters from the film entitled "The Flying Luna Clipper 2004", followed by a calendar featuring the art for that year. However, a sequel was never created. The film remained obscure until December 2015 when a LaserDisc copy was uploaded online by Matt Hawkins, after which it steadily grew in popularity. In 2019, Hawkins screened it theatrically at the Wonderville arcade in New York City, doing so again a year later in 2020. In December 2021, an interview with Ono on the film, conducted by Victor Navarro-Remesal, Marçal Mora-Cantallops, and Yoshihiro Hino, was published in ROMchip: A Journal of Game Histories, featuring contributed art, storyboards, and promotional material from Ono's collection.
