Billy Bat

Kevin Yamagata, a Japanese-American who fought in World War II, has made a name for himself as the creator of the popular detective comic "Billy Bat." As his comic gains immense popularity, Kevin stumbles upon a shocking revelation: the character Billy Bat already existed in a Japanese comic long before he created his version. This discovery leaves him feeling uneasy, as he worries he might have unintentionally borrowed ideas from the original work during his time in Japan. Determined to set things right, Kevin decides to head back to Japan to track down the original creator of Billy Bat. He hopes to get their blessing to continue using the character. However, as he digs deeper into the origins of Billy Bat, Kevin uncovers a chilling and complex web of murders that are somehow linked to the character he believed he invented. This journey not only challenges his understanding of creativity and originality but also leads him into a dark history that intertwines with his own life. Kevin's quest becomes more than just about a comic; it’s about confronting the shadows of the past and the true meaning of creation.
