History and profile

edit

Monthly Playboywas first published in July 1975.[2][3]Influenced by the sophisticated designs and contents ofMonthly Playboy,a number of magazines were launched to imitate it.[4] However, this was a magazine that translated and re-editedPlayboypublished in the United States for the Japanese market. As such, it is essentially unrelated toWeekly Playboy.[1]Kazuhiko Torishima,known for bringingDragon BallcreatorAkira Toriyamato the world, commented as follows. "Monthly Playboy was an interesting magazine with cutting-edge contents that attracted relatively young readers in their 20s and 30s, rather than older, and it also had a good advertising strategy".[5]The magazine ceased publication with the final January 2009 issue, due to a decline in readership.[1][6]

Pop artistKeiichi Tanaamiwas the magazine's first art director.[7]
