Dr. Kats was a guest of honor at Saga University's Art Gallery Installation, titled "Breaking Through, Cutting Off, No Border." Saga University art students created original pieces of art inspired by various manga and anime, posed larger questions for Dr. Kats, and then he delivered a guest lecture in response, focusing on myth-making in Japanese and American comics. About 40 Saga University students and staff attended the lecture, and he was presented a Saga Nishiki pen as a token of his friendship with the faculty and students there. He was then invited for a third lecture in next year's study abroad program.
