c.1972 Go (or Goh) Mishima was born Tsuyoshi Yoshida in 1924. In 1955 he met novelist Yukio Mishima at a gym in Tokyo. The two started drawing male nudes as a hobby and Yoshida took the pen-name Go Mishima. His work gained the attention of European fashion designers and businessmen. In 1972 Japan's first gay magazine Barazoku began publication. Mishima worked as illustrator for many of the stories published in the magazine. He also worked extensively for Sabu magazine, another leading gay magazine which began publication in 1974, where he edited the photo-spreads and covers. Mishima is also credited with giving the magazine its title.
