Kunio Hagio has long been acknowledged for his commercial and editorial art. His painting of the tattooed face of a carnival performer, entitled Carny, first appeared in Playboy magazine in 1976 and immediately garnered five prestigious awards. Over the course of a twenty-five year career, Hagio has received over 50 awards for his art from A.I.G.A., Artist Guild of Chicago, Art Directors Club/NY, Advertising Club/NY, Society of Illustrators, Creativity magazine, Communication Arts magazine, and Vision magazine in Japan. Gulliver Magazine (Italy) described his paintings as "an essential part of American culture."

In addition to the award winning Cinema Art above Hagio has also created dramatic art for movies such as Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (advance poster), Paradise, Conan the Barbarian and The Seventh Seal, among others. Hagio's lifelike depictions seem to jump off his canvasses with an inner vitality of their own, and capture a realism that digs deep into his subject's very soul.

Raging Bull is one of the most critically acclaimed movies of all times, high on the list of "must see" movies of the twentieth century, whether that list is compiled by movie critics or the AFI. Movie critic Leonard Maltin's review typifies the recognition afforded Scorsese and the film. "Extraordinarily compelling look at prizefighter Jake La Motta, whose leading opponent outside the ring was always himself. That such a unappealing man could inspire so vivid a portrait is a tribute to the collaboration of Scorsese, DeNiro, and writers Paul Schrader and Mardik Martin. There's not a false note in characterization or period detail. DeNiro and editor Thelma Schoonmaker won richly deserved Academy Awards."
