Frédéric Boilet
Frédéric Boilet (; born 16 January 1960 in Épinal, France) is a French cartoonist and a manga artist. Biography Frédéric Boilet's debut in comic art was in 1983 with ''La Nuit des Archées''. He created ''Le Rayon vert'' in 1987, followed by ''36 15 Alexia'' in 1990, two albums where he experimented with a method of working, that is still uniquely his today, in which he resorts almost exclusively to photographs and video. His encounter with Benoît Peeters in 1990 turned his work toward semi-autobiographical stories tinged with humour : ''Love Hotel'' (1993), ''Tôkyô est mon jardin'' (1997) and ''Demi-tour'' (1997). For some years Boilet lived in Japan, where ''Tôkyô est mon jardin,'' meaning "Tokyo is my garden," was translated in 1998 and ''Demi-tour'' the following year. http://www.boilet.net/am/biographie.ht ...

René (''born again'' or ''reborn'' in French) is a common first name in French-speaking, Spanish-speaking, and German-speaking countries. It derives from the Latin name Renatus. René is the masculine form of the name (Renée being the feminine form).

In addition, both forms are used as surnames (family names). René as a first name given to boys in the United States reached its peaks in popularity in 1969 and 1983 when it ranked 256th. Since 1983 its popularity has steadily declined and it ranked 881st in 2016. René as a first name given to girls in the United States reached its peak in popularity in 1962 when it ranked 306th.

Emmanuel Guibert
Immanuel ( he, עִמָּנוּאֵל, 'Īmmānū'ēl, meaning, "God is with us"; also romanized: , ; and or in Koine Greek of the New Testament) is a Hebrew name that appears in the Book of Isaiah (7:14) as a sign that God will protect the House of David.
