About The Author
Rumiko Takahashi
Rumiko Takahashi’s career began in 1978 when she won an honorable mention in Shogakukan’s New Comic Artist Contest for Those Selfish Aliens. Later that same year, her boy-meets-alien comedy series, Urusei Yatsura, was serialized in Weekly Shonen Sunday. This phenomenally successful manga series was adapted into anime format and spawned a TV series and six theatrical-release movies, all incredibly popular.
Takahashi followed up the success of her debut series with one blockbuster hit after another:
- Maison Ikkoku (1980-1987)
- Ranma 1⁄2 (1987-1996)
- Inuyasha (1996-2008)
Other notable works include Mermaid Saga, Rumic Theater, and One-Pound Gospel.
Takahashi was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Awards Hall of Fame in 2018. She won the Shogakukan Manga Award twice: for Urusei Yatsura in 1981 and for Inuyasha in 2002.
A majority of Takahashi’s works have been adapted into other media such as anime, live-action TV series, and film. Her manga, as well as the adaptations, have continued to delight generations of fans around the world. Distinguished by her wonderfully endearing characters, Takahashi’s work adeptly incorporates a wide variety of elements such as comedy, romance, fantasy, and martial arts. While her series are difficult to pin down into one simple genre, the signature style she has created has come to be known as the “Rumic World.” Rumiko Takahashi is an artist who truly represents the very best from the world of manga.
