Yoshihiro Togashi, the mangaka of some of the most popular, famous and classic manga including Yu Yu Hakusho and Hunter x Hunter. His other works also include Level E (though I personally can't fully understand that manga and hence put no interest in it) and various othe rmanga. He is one of the most famous, sucessful, popular mangaka in Japan, and he is one of my favourite mangaka, <-- this is more important, =3 His sense of imagination is different, out-of-this-world, he doesn't fall in typical pattern, which giving you all those typical shonen crap, he tells you the importance of friendship, love, family bonds without giving you all those sappy goosebumps crap.

You gotta love him, if you don't know what I'm talking about... Either buy an issue of the American Shonen Jump or go to www.toriyamaworld.com and find the scanlation of Hunter x Hunter and start reading!

I typed out the interview American Shonen Jump had with Togashi, and posted it in my Livejournal, if you want to read it, then click here
