Georgii Avksentievich Sapojnikoff (Sapajou) arrived as a refugee in Shanghai in 1920. He joined the China Daily News five years later, and collaborated for almost fifteen years with his cartoons. He published several albums of sketches of Shanghai life and illustrated many contemporary books about China. (From Richard Rigby). "An engineer and a chemist, Mr A'Rabbitt has lived in China and Japan for over three decades (. ) At intervals through the years have bits of his verse appeared in print, formerly in the Hongkong newspapers and occasionally in other publication, under the name of John Kyoto".
