He Jianshi (Chinese: 何劍士, 1877 – 1915) was a Chinese cartoonist, painter, and songwriter. The son of He Kunshan [zh], a wealthy businessman, He learned the arts in his youth, as well as sword fighting from a monk in Sichuan. In 1905, He began producing cartoons for the Journal of Current Pictorial, using among numerous others the pen name Jianshi ("Swordsman"), and continued producing manhua for The True Record when that magazine was established in 1911. A member of the Tongmenghui, an anti-Qing movement, he promoted the use of Chinese opera to spread revolutionary ideas. Analysis of He's work has emphasized his flamboyant style, drawing from the literati tradition while blending realism and exaggeration.
