The Rapeman(The レイプマン) was an erotic black comedy/satire, Japanese manga series for adults. It was credited as being created and written by Keiko Aisaki (愛崎けいこ), and illustrated by Shintaro Miyawaki (みやわき心太郎), and ran from 1985 to 1992. In reality, there was no Keiko Aisaki. Instead, the manga artist Miyawaki created this fictional co-author in order to lessen criticism of his work[citation needed].
