Kaiji Kawaguchi (born 1948) is a Japanese manga artist from Onomichi, Hiroshima Prefecture. He made his professional debut in 1968 with “Yoru ga Aketara” and has created numerous works centered on war, international politics, and national decision-making. His representative work, “The Silent Service,” follows submarine captain Shirō Kaieda after he seizes a nuclear-powered vessel secretly built by Japan and the United States. Renaming it Yamato, he declares the submarine an independent state and attempts to construct a new international order backed by nuclear deterrence. By interweaving submarine warfare with diplomatic negotiations among governments, the series examines nuclear weapons, the Japan–United States alliance, national sovereignty, and the role of the United Nations. It received the 14th Kodansha Manga Award in 1990 and has been adapted into anime and live-action films and television series.
