Nobody has a picture of Shirow.... he doesn't allow himself to be photographed. Just use his standard octopus icon for him....

hmm... as i recall, masamune prefers not being captured on camera. while i'm sure you could find a photo of him SOMEWHERE, odds are it won't be easy to find.

Also you have to rember that the name Shirow Masamune is a psudo-name (I can't spell what it is acutaly called) that is IIRC his birthday (Can someone that knows more Japanese than me confirm this?) And as far as I know he has not allowed himself to be photographed ~ likes his privacy.

Yes it is a pseudonym, no he does not allow himself to be photographed. He apparently taught at a top-tier girl's high school and drawing manga was unseemly for somone in his position so he adopted the pseudonym. I'm guessing he either kept his job or at least kept it for privacy.

This is why he is very unlikely to ever appear at a con.
