'''Stan Sakai''' is a Japanese American who has been writing and drawing [[comics]] since 1984. Born in Kyoto, Japan, Sakai grew up in Hawaii and presently resides and works in the Los Angeles area.

His most famous and critically acclaimed work is ''[[Usagi Yojimbo]]'', although he has created or worked on many comics of interest to furries, including ''[[Albedo Anthropomorphics]]'', ''[[Beauty of the Beasts]]'', ''[[Cutey Bunny]]'', ''[[Nilson Groundthumper and Hermy]]'', ''[[Ninja High School]]'', ''[[Space Usagi]]'', and ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'', as well as many well-regarded non-furry comics as ''[[Groo The Wanderer]]'', the Sunday strips for the serial ''[[Wikipedia:Spider-Man|Spider-Man]]'', the comic book ''Shi'', and occasional covers for Marvel and Disney comics. An award-winning artist, his accolades include multiple [[Wikipedia:Eisner Award|Eisner]] and [[Wikipedia:Haxtur Award|Haxtur]] awards, as well as ''Best Anthropomorphic Comic Book'' in the [[Ursa Major Awards]] five times running for 2001-2005, with a double award in 2004 for ''[[The Art of Usagi Yojimbo]]''.

Stan Sakai's art style is distinctive. Although his art style is influenced strongly by traditional Japanese [[Kemono]], he also uses simple line designs like many [[funny animal]] cartoons, and his character's faces can go very wild during a 'take', he also includes many realistic traits; characters generally are [[anthropomorphic]], and have at least a slight amount of biological plausibility. His designs may have been the influence of the later [[Mobian]] designs used in the [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] comic book and animations. However, one thing that Stan Sakai has never done is drawn a tail on any of his characters; in Fantagraphics #24, he stated that "... giving them tails would make them somehow a bit too animalistic," and that he, himself, doesn't know whether or not Usagi Yojimbo has a tail.

Although not himself a [[furry]], Stan Sakai appeared as the guest of honor at [[Anthrocon 2004]]. Although he had been leery of attending [[furry convention]]s in the past, he and his family enjoyed themselves.<ref>[http://www.livejournal.com/users/unclekage/6952.html Stan Sakai's Anthrocon 2004 report]</ref> Since that first visit, he has planned other visits to other furry conventions; not as a guest of honor, but a fellow convention attendee. Stan Sakai was also the guest of honor at [[Eurofurence 16]] and [[MiDFur XII]].

[[Image:RubberTigerseye.jpg|thumb|right|Image2 - new character-image]]
[[Image:RubberTigerseye Wings_single.jpg|thumb|right|Image3 - showing off his wings]]

== Character ==
'''Aragon R. Tigerseye''' has been subject to a few changes over the years. Starting as a winged tiger (see Image1), he remained like that for quite a few years until he, kindled by his love for rubber and latex, changed his form into a living latex form, becoming a [[rubberfur]]. Around that time he also adopted the R (for "Rubber") as middle initial and started calling himself RubberTigerseye on IRC.

Slowly other factors began to seep in and he was changed to a skunk, leaving his tiger heritage behind. Not too far tho, as one who looks at him might notice (see Image2), and he still has his wings, tho nowadays he usually retracts them into his back when they're not in use.

== Real Life ==
'''Aragon Tigerseye''' is a German [[fursuit]]er from the vicinity of [[Wikipedia:Mönchengladbach|Mönchengladbach]], currently living there in a house with three other furs. He joined the [[furry fandom]] in the mid-1990s and became interested in [[fursuit]]s at [[Eurofurence]] 4. While he is not building fursuits or taking care of Eurofurence's [[fursuit lounge]], he is a puppeteer and puppet builder for the Eurofurence [[pawpet]] show, [[DoPE]]. He is also a gag author for the [[F8K]] radio show, frequently teaming up with Xan, one of his RL housemates.

'''Tigerseye''' is the helpdesk and character creation wizard of [[Furscape]] [[MUCK]].
