Kazuki Takahashi (高橋 和希, Takahashi Kazuki, also known as Kazuo Takahashi (高橋 一雅, Takahashi Kazuo), born October 4, 1961)[1] is a Japanese manga artist and game creator, best known for creating Yu-Gi-Oh!.
Career[edit]
Takahashi started as a manga artist in 1982. His first work was Tokiō no Tsuma (闘輝王の鷹), published in 1990. One of his earliest works, Tennenshoku Danji Buray (天然色男児BURAY), was published from 1991 to 1992 and lasted two volumes. Takahashi did not find success until 1996, when he created Yu-Gi-Oh!
Takahashi's Yu-Gi-Oh! manga led to the creation of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game published by Konami. Originally intended as a one-shot in the manga's episodic introduction of new games, the game was named 'Magic and Wizards' as a reference to the card game Magic: The Gathering and its publishing company Wizards of the Coast (the card game's name was changed to 'Duel Monsters' in the anime adaptations). However, Shueisha, the publisher of the Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine, received so many letters and fan-mail asking about 'Magic and Wizards' that Takahashi decided to extend it.
Takahashi has continued to supervise the creation of Yu-Gi-Oh! manga since the end of the original manga's run. [2]
In 2013, the one shot manga Drump was released in Weekly Shōnen Jump, based on a new game by Kazuki Takahashi.[3]
In 2018, Takahashi published the limited series The Comiq in Weekly Shōnen Jump.[4]
Artist exchanges[edit]
Torrent turnitin software download. Takahashi collaborated with Yoshio Sawai by drawing a picture of Dark Yugi for Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, where he pops out of Bobobo's afro at one point.[5] In return, Takahashi included the nu handkerchief in a panel of the thirty-fourth volume of Yu-Gi-Oh!.

Takahashi and Mike Mignola, the creator of Hellboy, also participated in an art exchange (with Takahashi drawing Hellboy with Yugi Mutou's hairdo, a Millennium Puzzle, and a duel disk and Mignola drawing Hellboy wearing a Millennium Puzzle and a Yugi T-shirt).[6]
Personal life[edit]
Takahashi likes to play games such as shogi, mahjong, card games, and tabletop role-playing games.[7]
In an interview with Shonen Jump, Takahashi stated that his favorite manga from other authors included Akira by Katsuhiro Otomo, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure by Hirohiko Araki, and Dragon Ball by Akira Toriyama. He also enjoys reading American comics, with Hellboy being his favorite American comic book character.
His pet dog, a shiba inu named Taro (タロ), was the basis for the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game monster card Shiba-Warrior Taro (柴 戦 士 タロ); the card's artwork was personally drawn by Takahashi.[8][9]

Career[edit]
History[edit]
As a child, Takahashi liked to draw, but did not start putting manga together until he was in high school.[1]
![Kazuki Takahashi Yu Gi Oh! Illustrations Duel Art Book.zip Kazuki Takahashi Yu Gi Oh! Illustrations Duel Art Book.zip](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/59/24/db/5924db0b90ff6a963af1f112f8ba1246.jpg)
When he was 19, one of Takahashi's manga stories won a contest in a shonen manga magazine. He considers that to be his debut, but for the next ten years he went through several publishers and had a lot of rejected stories.[2]
Takahashi worked for a game company, but aspired to create manga. In 1990, he managed to create 100 pages of manga and 200 pages of sketches before bringing his first proposal to Weekly Shōnen Jump. The editor he met was bothered by the size of his submission, but read through all of it and understood that Takahashi wanted to do a battle story. In the end that manga idea was rejected.[3]
His first work was Tokio no Tsuma, published in 1990. One of his earliest works was Tennenshokudanji Buray (天然色男児BURAY), which lasted for two volumes and was published from 1991 to 1992. Takahashi did not find success until 1996 when he created Yu-Gi-Oh!.
Takahashi's popular Yu-Gi-Oh! manga started the creation of the Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, known within the series as Magic and Wizards and later Duel Monsters. However, he never intended to focus his manga on the card game he created. The original format of the manga was set in episodic chapters with a different game being played in each chapter, and the Magic and Wizards card game was originally intended to only appear in two chapters. Shueisha, the publisher of the Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine, received so many letters and fan-mail asking about the Magic and Wizards game that Takahashi decided to extend it.[1]
Takahashi had promised himself that Yu-Gi-Oh! GX would be the last Yu-Gi-Oh! series. However, he was approached at the end of 2006 with the idea for Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. The production staff and TV board were long time associates and friends, who had spread Yu-Gi-Oh! to many people in the world, so Takahashi agreed, under the condition that this would be the last Yu-Gi-Oh! series.[4] Despite this, several subsequent series have been made.
Takahashi compiled various Yu-Gi-Oh! illustrations he had drawn into the book Duel Art which was published on December 16, 2011.[5]
After Yu-Gi-Oh!, Takahashi created Advent Heroes, a comic and card game, influenced by American comics.[6]
Influences[edit]
Takahashi has mentioned a number of things which may have inspired him to become a mangaka. One of them was a kamishibai he used to enjoy going to when he attended elementary school. During the show, he would wonder if the old man hosting it, drew all the pictures himself.[7] Another was an event that occurred in his first year of high school. An unfriendly teacher compared him to a defecating machine in front of the class. His classmates laughed, but Takahashi clenched and fist and thought to himself that a defecating machine could not create comics.[8]
Takahashi decided to use battle as his primary theme. However there had been so much 'fighting' manga, he found it difficult to come up with something original. He decided to create a fighting manga, where the main character doesn't hit anybody, but struggled with that limitation. However when the word 'game' came to mind, he found it much easier to work with.[9]
Takahashi had always been interested in games. He claims to have been obsessed as a kid and still interested in them as an adult. In the games he considered the player to become a hero. He decided to base the Yu-Gi-Oh! series around such games and used this idea as the premises; Yugi was a weak childish boy, who became a hero when he played games.[1]
He admits that it is difficult to come up with many unique monsters. He tries to fit the player's characteristics into the creature he is creating, such as giving Seto Kaiba vicious cards to suit his personality.[1]
With friendship being one of the major themes of Yu-Gi-Oh!, he based the names of the two major characters 'Yūgi' and 'Jōnouchi' on the word yūjō (友情), which means 'friendship'.[1]Henshin, the ability to turn into something or someone else, is something Takahashi believed all children dreamed of. He considered Yugi's henshin Yami Yugi, a savvy, invincible games player, to be a big appeal to children.[1] The character Seto Kaiba is partly based on an arrogant collectible card game player Takashashi heard of.[10]
Before writing the original Shadi storyline, Takahashi visited Egypt to gather information.[11]
Takahashi was ill at the time of writing the Pharaoh's memory arc. He ended up in the hospital and struggled to meet deadlines. As a result, he reluctantly cut short Priest Seto and Kisara's story, which he regrets as it was to explain the relationship between Seto Kaiba and the 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon'. He also joked that the design of Zorc Necrophades was due to his grogginess at the time.[12]
Sometime during the original run of the pre-Trading Card manga, Takahashi had his handbag stolen by a thief during a night when he played Pachinko. Jedi academy console commands. The thief was never caught and included in his bag were further ideas for stories for the originating manga; he expressed some desire to recall and remember the ideas that were lost since.
He credits his unmet expectations from seeing Mazinger Z Vs. Devilman in his childhood as an inspiration for the film Yu-Gi-Oh! VS. GX. Although the film wasn't made, elements from it were used in the second season of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX.[13]
Creations[edit]
Takahashi's Drawing of Yuma
Takahashi personally created, among other monsters, 'Dark Magician', the 'Elemental HERO' archetype, 'Junk Synchron', 'Stardust Dragon', 'Red Dragon Archfiend' (another of his Hellraiser inspirations besides 'Jinzo'), and 'Number 39: Utopia'. As expected, he also created and hand drew the Yu-Gi-Oh! protagonists (Yugi Muto, Yami Yugi, Jaden Yuki, Yusei Fudo, Yuma Tsukumo) as well as several key characters.
Over the years, he has also drawn official card artwork for numerous cards (existing and original), all of which bear his signature.

Personal life[edit]
Takahashi likes to play games, such as Shogi (Japanese chess),[14] Mahjong (the traditional Chinese tile game), card games, and tabletop role playing games.
Takahashi considers himself to be a procrastinator. He doesn't work until close to a deadline, at which point he always ask himself why he didn't start working earlier.[15]
Yugioh Duel Art Book
Takahashi and Mike Mignola, the creator of the Hellboy comic book series, once participated in an art exchange. Takahashi, who is a fan of American comics, drew a picture of Hellboy with Yugi Mutou's hairdo, the Millennium Puzzle, and a Duel Disk. Mignola drew a picture of Hellboy wearing the Millennium Puzzle and a Yugi t-shirt, and the two exchanged their artworks. He also collaborated with Yoshio Sawai by sending him a picture of Yugi that was used in the manga Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo (Bobobo makes Yugi come out of his afro). In return, Takahashi included the 'nu' handkerchief in one of the panels in Yu-Gi-Oh! during the Egypt arc.
