Tachibana's Doujinshi
Updated 4th August 2000
Tachibana started out as a doujinshi artist under the name Kaimu Date (the same "Date" as Seiji Date of Yoroiden Samurai Troopers). Her circle, Laim Company (actually "Raimu," meaning "coming dream"), specialized in doujinshi about YST, so the non de plume is not surprising. I think someone in the circle had a serious Beatlemania; check out the doujinshi titles for my reasoning. If anyone reading this page can contribute more information about any other doujinshi she has done, I would be immensely grateful!
Laim Company's works are mostly A5 size (about 8.25" x 6"); the exceptions are "No No No Boy!" and the "Kamen No Kokuhaku" series, which are larger (about 10" x 7"). Where I've been able to find it, I've put in the prices that they were originally sold at, so that those who enjoy eBay watching can be amused. Many of the images I have here currently are courtesy of Surly-Genki, a great Tachibana website!
