Sumi Arisaka

(born in Ichinomiya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan) is a Japanese mangaka (manga illustrator).
Arisaka illustrated the artwork of Metroid: Zebes Invasion Order, while Nobuyuki Shioda wrote the story. A gallery of her scanned drawings in Zebes Invasion Order can be seen here. When illustrating Samus Unmasked for the gamebook, Arisaka was only told that the character was female and had long hair, so she interpreted Samus as having black hair.有坂　須美 (sumi_arisaka). "ここ一年近く体調の悪化のため放置だったので、通知も見てなかったんですが＾＾；先日見たらずいぶんと懐かしいものが、、、 当時サムスの容姿について知らされたのは『髪の長い女性』とだけだったので黒髪(個人的には濃い茶髪)にしたんですよね、ちなみに今描くとこんな感じ、、、かな？。" 22 April 2017 4:33 a.m. Tweet. https://twitter.com/sumi_arisaka/status/855716082300076032
