Sidelights
Well known to fans of manga—Japanese comics—throughout the world, Rumiko Takahashi is also one of the planet's top-selling authors, with over one hundred-million books sold in her native Japan and internationally. Takahashi's four major manga series have been translated into English, and her work has been adapted for both anime—animated—television series and feature films. Her "Urusei Yatsura" series appeared between 1978 and 1987, and was followed from 1982 to 1987 by "Maison Ikkoku," a "romantic soap opera with comic elements," according to Charles Solomon writing in the Los Angeles Times. Takahashi's The loves and life of residents of a Japanese apartment building are the focus of Takahashi's multi-volume manga written for older teen readers. biggest success has been her offbeat martial arts-focused "Ranma 1/2" manga, which ran from 1987 to 1996. "Inu-Yasha Sengoku Otogi Zoushi," Takahashi's epic manga about a modern girl who suddenly finds herself thrust back in time to feudal Japan, known to English-speaking readers as Inu-Yasha: A Feudal Fairy Tale; the series extended over twenty volumes of approximately 200 pages each by 2005. In addition to the many books comprising her four major series, the prolific Takahashi has written and illustrated numerous short stories, making herself one of Japan's most published authors.
Born in 1957, Takahashi began her love affair with manga at a young age, and by high school she was publishing her own comic-strip in the newsletter of the school manga club she founded. Despite her obvious talent, manga remained a hobby while the studious Takahashi concentrated mainly on her academics.
Attending a women's college on a full-time basis, Takahashi also decided to enroll in evening classes at a Japanese manga school run by famous artist Kazuo Koike, author of "Crying Freeman." Because there were no Japanese women then creating manga, she did not consider manga as a possible career. However, the popularity of the manga she published through her university's manga club between 1976 and 1977 gained her a following. Word spread regarding Takahashi's talent, and she published her first professional story, "Katte na Yatsura" ("Those Selfish Aliens") in the boy's magazine Shonen Sunday, winning that magazine's new comic artist award in 1977. She also worked as an assistant to Kazuo Umezu, author of "Makoto-chan."
"Urusei Yatsura" began running in Shonen Sunday that same year, and that magazine has continued to publish most of Takahashi's major series. "Urusei Yatsura" follows Ataru Moroboshi, a young man who is chosen to compete against an alien princess named Lum. Their competition is a game of tag, but one with serious consequences: the fate of the world rests on its outcome. Ataru wins the contest, and the two opponents also fall in love during the course of their high-stakes game. A strong female character, Lum stands as a contrast to the typical portrait of the docile Japanese female seen in most manga. As Takahashi explained to Seiji Horibuchi in Animerica, she designed "Urusei Yatsura" as a "school comedy/romance with some science fiction and whatnot, based on a foundation of slapstick." The puns, metaphors, and other wordplay in the series, as well as the presence of strong female characters, have become characteristic of Takahashi's mangas.
It took a year for "Urusei Yatsura" to establish itself as a weekly series; Takahashi needed time to get used to the demands of producing a weekly strip, and the series did not generate a large income. In fact, early on her tiny apartment was filled with art supplies, and Takahashi slept in a closet. However, the manga's success was such that in 1981 "Urusei Yatsura" was adapted as an anime by filmmaker Mamoru Oshii. The series lasted five years and made Takahashi's name a household word throughout Japan. Fan clubs sprouted up all over the country, extolling the work of the twenty-something manga artist.
Because of its appeal to a young-adult audience, "Maison Ikkoku," Takahashi's second manga series, was published in Big Comic Spirits; she would return to Shonen Sunday for her subsequent work. In this manga Takahashi sets her tale in modern Japan, and focuses on a love triangle. College student Yusaku Godai is smitten by his older, beautiful, widowed landlady, Kyoko Otonashi, but for her part Kyoko must deal with both her qualms about dating a much younger man and the competing attentions of suave tennis coach Shun Mitaka. Geared for older readers, "Maison Ikkoku" "brims with slapstick hijinks, misunderstandings, and, possibly, love," according to a reviewer for Publishers Weekly. Writing in Library Journal, Steve Raiteri described the multi-volume published collection Maison Ikkoku as a "wonderful true-to-life romance" that ranks as one of Takahashi's "finest works." As with "Urusei Yatsura," "Maison Ikkoku" was adapted for both anime and feature film.
In 1987 Takahashi began her most popular manga, the martial-arts adventure "Ranma 1/2." Ranma Saotome is a young practitioner of martial arts who has a secret: due to a curse, if splashed with cold water, he turns into a girl. Splashed with hot, he becomes a man again. This condition creates problems when the female Ranma begins to attract attention from young men; meanwhile the original Ranma has fallen in love with a beautiful martial arts expert. Appealing to a wide readership, "Ranma 1/2" became an instant success, and ran until 1996. Re-released in book form, the series filled thirty-eight volumes and was adapted as both anime and feature films. Noting that with this series Takahashi had developed her writing and drawing abilities and truly established herself as a publishing phenomenon, Raiteri called "Ranma 1/2" "among [Takahashi's] best loved works."
In 1996 Takahashi's fans were introduced to Kagome Higurashi, a teen who falls down a well and into the world of feudal Japan. In "Inu-Yasha Sengoku Otogi Zoushi" Kagome encounters the half-demon Inu-Yasha. In love with a human woman named Kikyo many years before, Inu-Yasha is awakened from an enchanted sleep by the arrival of Kagome. While he believes Kagome is Kikyo, reincarnated, Kagome behaves as a modern teen, miniskirt and all, and fights the underworld's feudal traditions. As the reincarnation of Kikyo, she possesses the Jewel of Four Souls, a stone that caused Kikyo's death and Inu-Yasha's long slumber. When the jewel is broken, Kagome and Inu-Yasha must recover its lost pieces, battling the evil Naraku and finding love along the way. Their task is made more difficult when the real Kikyo returns from the dead and discovers that her Cursed to transform into a girl when doused with water, a Japanese teen encounters a series of adventures narrated in Takahashi's characteristically sarcastic and humorous style. place in Inu-Yasha's demon heart has been usurped by a modern teen.
Despite sharing the same plot framework as her previous manga—a love triangle—"Inu-Yasha Sengoku Otogi Zoushi" is less slapstick than her Takahashi's previous manga. As Takahashi told Horibuchi, "I wanted to draw a story-oriented manga. Also, I liked the idea of a historical piece. Something I could easily draw. That's the premise I start with." Despite its grounding in the history of feudal Japan—a history unfamiliar to American readers—the book-length collections of "Inu-Yasha" were as successful as Takahashi's previous manga, and by 2005 the series had filled over twenty volumes. Anime and feature films based on "Inu-Yasha" were also created, and Web surfers could find several sites devoted to the series.
In addition to her weekly manga, Takahashi includes a personal commentary in each issue of Shonen Sunday, continueing to foster her bond with her many readers. A baseball fan when she is not working, she is a supporter of the Hanshin Tigers and also enjoys music. To many manga fans, she truly lives up to her title as the "Princess of Manga."

Rumiko Takahashi highly doubt that someone as important as you will read this letter, the more it costs to try I beg that you can make new episodes of Ranma 1 / 2 because I liked the anime.Porem not think that was the end of the anime sense if by chance you read this letter to please reply me back on msn who commanded le.

I was spell bounded by the InuYasha series. I just had one question to ask. Why did Ms. Rumiko began the story as is such? Why was the beginning of the story Kikyo and InuYasha's false betrayal to each other? Did she not thought of starting her manga when InuYasha and Kikyo first met each other; when readers would have the impression that InuYasha's partner would be Kikyo? And why did Ms. Rumiko let Kikyo died? If she hadn't killed her in the manga, what would have happened to the story all over?

I don't want to see it end.. please.. t END INUYASHA AND KAGOME!! NOOOOO!! D:

This article is quite informative and generally accurate, however, the note regarding the titular character Ranma of the series "Ranma 1/2" having "fallen in love with a beautiful martial arts expert" is incorrect. In the story, Ranma has been forced against his will into a marriage proposition with the daughter of his father's training friend, a girl named Akane whom he regards with boyish disdain as "macho and uncute". The majority of the series centers around their quarrels with one another as unwilling fiance's, and although they may regard each other with an affection and respect closely guarded by their blatant and prideful boastings, it could hardly be construed as "having fallen in love".

Hi, Rumiko Takahashi-sama.
I am a big fan of yours and your manga, InuYasha. I have a curiosity about Sango and Miroku, and that others may also have: how many children they have in total? Sango had more twins, triplets ...? How many?
Another curiosity: the team of the anime and you want to do a fifth Inuyasha movie? I hope so.
By the way, for me, Sango is the best character you ever created.

To whom it may concern,
For the past few weeks we have been obsessed with Ranma 1/2. It had such an original plot full of romance and humour that we fell for it instantly, we especially loved the Ranma/Akane moments!
Just recently we have finished the series and we are quite dissapointed with the 'ending'.
We strongly feel as if Rumiko Takahashyi should continue this series until the very end to ensure that future, past and present viewers could have their satisfactory ending.
We hope that this series would be completed eventually.
Regards,
from The Twins.

Hi im Allison and iv been reading/watching work from viz and Rumiko Takahashi herself. I believe it would be great for many Inuyasha lovers to see a life for Inuyasha after the final we all know how it ended with Kagome comeing back 3 years later and Inuyasha pulling her out of the well but we all wonder how was life after that. Did they fight more demons, did they have kids, or things in that nature. It would be an honor if she could continue wrighting Inuyasha <3 Inuyasha fans!

Hello
Since i was a little girl, I’ve watched inuyasha... I waited a lot of time to see the end in the manga, i was so freaking excited that y cried, i mean, do you really know what did your manga do to people around the world? Thousands of persons wanting, wishing, and waiting to see Inuyasha’s end, and you could not even give him a NICE and DECENT, aspiring END... OMG that was so freaking sad, they didn't even had kids... the real manga didn’t even had a KISS… only the anime did, and it was like fake, because YOU, rumiko takahashi didn’t do it in THE MANGA. I mean, what where you thinkin? You had that end in your hands, you had so much time to think about it and you just ended with him like you were tired of it! Where’s the freaking love? Their kids? They should have kids, kagome suffered so much in the whole anime… it’s awful.

If Rumiko Takahashi is reading this I have a great idea for a show. its not all done cause theres to much to type but its about this girl named bara (or whatever you want it to be) and the story starts like this: well she's just walking around with her boyfriend talking at 9:00 or 10:00 p.m and all of a sudden a black hole appears. and it starts to suck her in but the boy luckly didnt get sucked in and then she was in a whole new world where everything looked different she didnt look the same cause the animation in that world was different. and the black hole appeared in the other world and she fell out of hole when it was 100's of feet in the sky while she was knocked out falling a guy looked up and saw her in the sky and so he jumped and catched her. i know im not close to done as i said theres much more to type but if you like what i got so far somehow if you could contact me on facebook my name is brittany sawicki, yes I know my last name is silly. but as i was saying if you like what i got so far contact me on facebook my profile pic shows kagome in chibi form about to shoot an arrow.
