Cebulski, admitted Tuesday to once writing comics under a Japanese pseudonym. Cebulski, who is white, said he wrote under the pen name Akira Yoshida back in the early 2000s, Bleeding Cool first reported. “It wasn’t transparent, but it taught me a lot about writing, communication and pressure. Marvel confirmed to the Los Angeles Times that Cebulski had written as Yoshida but declined to comment further. The reaction on social media was critical of Cebulski’s use of an Asian-sounding pseudonym, with individuals accusing the editor-in-chief of cultural appropriation and exploiting an Asian identity.
