Mr. Kimura

Stepping out of the beloved pages of Kiyohiko Azuma and Kay Bertrand's Azumanga Daioh, Mr. Kimura made his comics debut in 2003 under A.D. Vision's Modern Age release of this celebrated series. A fixture of the school-life world that also features Sakaki, Kaorin, Yomi, and Miss Yukari, he's part of the wonderfully offbeat ensemble that made Azumanga Daioh a landmark of its era. With only four catalog appearances, he's a compact but memorable presence — the kind of supporting character who leaves a real impression on fans who've made this series their own.
