Why don you have any stories set during Gatchaman II or Gatchaman Fighter?
I have seen very little of either of these series and I don’t know them very well. • At what point did Miyae Washio appear in the television series? You would be surprised how many people actually ask this question. Flattering though the implication might be, I have to confess that Miya was never in any of the television series and that she is not a canonical character at all. She’s totally my own creation. She’s been around since 1979 or so, which makes her roughly as “old” as the Gatchaman Fighter series. • Isn’t Miya your Mary Sue/self-insertion character? The short answer is yes. Certainly she started out that way all those years ago. However, over the years as I developed my writing talents, she became a lot more than just wish fulfillment. Miya certainly has skills and strengths that I don’t have, but she also has weaknesses from which I don’t suffer. Also, she doesn’t hog all the “screen” time. She’s an important supporting character, but she isn’t the star. • I hate self-insert
