C-ko Kotobuki

C-ko Kotobuki is a cheerful, energetic schoolgirl from the anime-influenced Project A-Ko universe, serving as the sweet-natured best friend caught between the rivalry of super-powered A-ko Magami and wealthy, scheming B-ko Daitokuji.

Bursting onto the Malibu Comics scene in 1989, C-ko Kotobuki is a Copper Age gem whose adventures unfold across the beloved Project A-KO series and the pages of Ninja High School Yearbook. Created by Chas Berlin, she shares her colorful world with the likes of A-ko Magami and B-ko Daitokuji, making for lively, energetic company throughout her run into the mid-'90s. With 15 catalog appearances spread across multiple series, she's a charming piece of that era's anime-influenced American comics scene — exactly the kind of discovery that reminds collectors just how wonderfully eclectic the Malibu library could be.
