Silently, the amnesia wind swept away all of mankind's knowledge. Thousands of years of human civilization vanished overnight as people forgot how to use the tools of modern civilization - who they were - how to speak - everything. Technology decayed as mankind was instantly reduced to level of cavemen. Now, two years later, a young man explores a nation reduced to barbarism - America. Miraculously re-educated after the cataclysm, he is accompanied by a young woman - somehow spared the obliterating effects of the amnesia wind. Pursued by a relentless killing machine, they search for those responsible for stealing their memories. ==Novel== '''Japanese Version''' *Title: {{nihongo|風の名はアムネジア|''Kaze no Na-wa Amunejia''}} *Writer: [[Hideyuki Kikuchi]] *Artist: [[Yoshitaka Amano]] *Cover Artist: [[Yoshitaka Amano]] *Publication Date: October 31, 1983 *ISBN == Movie == ===Voice Cast=== ====Japanese==== *[[Kazuki Yao]] - Wataru *[[Keiko Toda]] - Sophia *[[Kappei Yamaguchi]] - Johnny *[[Noriko Hidaka]] - Lisa *[[Osamu Saka]] - Simpson *[[Yūko Mita]] - Sue *[[Daisuke Gōri]] - Little John ====English==== *[[Adam Henderson]] - Wataru *[[Denica Fairman]] - Sophia *[[Lee Tyler]] - Johnny *[[Susie Baker]] - Lisa *[[Peter Marinker]] - Simpson ===Staff=== *Original Novel/Story: [[Hideyuki Kikuchi]] *Licensors: [[Central Park Media]], [[Manga Entertainment]] Ltd.
