Mitsukazu Mihara (三原ミツカズ, Mihara Mitsukazu, born October 17, 1970, in Hiroshima) is a Japanese illustrator who helped to influence the Gothic Lolita look through her illustrations, particularly as the cover illustrator for the first eight volumes of the Gothic & Lolita Bible.[1] In 1994, she won a contest in the Japanese manga magazine Feel Young with her debut "Keep Those Condoms Away From Our Kids" (ゴムのいらない子供たち, "Gomu no Iranai Kodomo-tachi"), later published by Shodensha in her short story collection IC in a Sunflower (集積回路のヒマワリ, Shūseki Kairo no Himawari).[2]
