Aki Senno (せんのあき, Senno Aki), better known to SNK fans by her pen name Tonko (normally styled in capital letters), is an illustrator for SNK. She is best known for doing the character designs and main illustrations for The Last Blade series series and Garou: Mark of the Wolves.

Tonko jokingly referred to a character in Yatterman as her one true love and its rumored that her pseudonym comes from her affection for the character Odate Buta (a pig) from said series ("Ton" and "Buta" are different readings of the same Kanji that means "pig").

Profile[]

After SNK's bankruptcy, Tonko became a freelancer. She was sometimes hired by SNK Playmore to do promotional art for their gaming franchises. In recent years, Tonko has been in charge of Metal Slug Attack and, as of 2018, Tonko was working again as a member of SNK.[1]

Her works for other companies include Battle Star Online, Xian Mo Dao Online, Hotogisu Ran and Gersang Online.

Style[]

Her art is easily recognized by a semi-realistic anime presentation with a soft watercolor method of coloring, emphasizing light tones for a slight foggy effect. She sometimes draws her characters in a very "cutesy" super-deformed style with a crisper coloring method.
