Information for Authors: Formerly an assistant of [HIRAMATSU Shinji](https://www.mangaupdates.com/authors.html?id=3595). He is friends with [KITA Yasuaki](https://www.mangaupdates.com/authors.html?id=6023). Once explained on twitter the reason why the group photo of the author disappeared on the cover of Weekly Shounen Jump. It was because all the manga artists took the same bus to the inn to take a picture, and realized that it would be difficult if this bus had an accident.

[Rurouni Kenshin](https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=89) was popular to female readers at that time.
