AAPI Month Speaker: Tak Toyoshima

SVA Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion presents a talk with comic book artist, writer, and illustrator Tak Toyoshima.

Born and raised in NYC’s Tribeca neighborhood, Tak Toyoshima is an American cartoonist with over three decades of experience in the comic book industry and is a veteran of public speaking for over 20 years. He is the creator/artist of the comic strip “Secret Asian Man.” Starting as a two-page monthly in a Boston-based arts magazine, “Secret Asian Man” became a weekly comic strip for the next six years. In the fall of 2006, “Secret Asian Man” was scouted by United Features Syndicate (“Peanuts,” “Dilbert,” and “Boondocks”) and developed to launch in July of 2007 as the first Asian American comic strip since the days of Bruce Lee and Charlie Chan. The Daily Days, a collection of “Secret Asian Man” daily syndicated comic strips, has gone into its second printing to celebrate Toyoshima’s 25th anniversary of creating SAM.
