Since then he has published more than 20 of his own books, as well as illustrating many more. More than twenty publishers declined his work until Klaus Flugge of Andersen Press asked him to illustrate Angry Arthur in 1981, after he had an exhibition of his work at the Neal Street Gallery in Covent Garden. He moved from Tokyo to London in 1979 where he worked mainly at designing greeting cards. He was not trained as an artist, but at the age of 19 began to do commercial work as an illustrator for adverts and magazines. After dropping out of school to pursue art, Kitamura decided not to attempt a 10-year apprenticeship as a potter and instead worked as a graphic artist. Satoshi Kitamura was born in 1956 in Tokyo. He moved from Japan to London before returning to Tokyo in 2009. In 2000, his book, Sheep in Wolves' Clothing was made into the obscure HIT Entertainment series, Sheeep. In 1983, he received the Mother Goose Award for the Most Exciting Newcomer to British Illustration for Angry Arthur (written by Hiawyn Oram). Satoshi Kitamura ( きたむら さとし, Kitamura Satoshi, born 1956) is a Japanese children's picture book author and illustrator.
