History
Rumiko Takahashi was born on October 10, 1957 in the Japanese city of Niigata . In her early years, Rumiko was far from manga, not even fond of drawing. However, while studying at the University of Nagano, she became interested in creativity and entered the school of manga artists, led by the famous manga Koyke Kazuo .
Takahashi's early works were short stories published in various Japanese magazines. They did not receive much recognition, but were well received by the public, and in 1978 Rumiko even received an award from Shogakukan , one of the largest Japanese publishers, as "the best aspiring artist." In September of the same year, Shonen Sunday began publishing her first major manga, Urusei Yatsura . This work unexpectedly became very popular, and in 1981 even spawned an anime adaptation that went on until 1986.
After receiving public acclaim, Rumiko Takahashi set about creating Maison Ikkoku , a manga published from 1980 to 1987 in Big Comic Spirits . Although Urusei Yatsura was a notable creation, Takahashi's new manga easily surpassed him in this. Maison Ikkoku was also filmed, and appeared on screens from 1986 to 1988.
In 1987, Takahashi began painting her third major work, Ranma ½ . This series is today one of her most famous works around the world. Manga continued to be released until 1996, and was incredibly popular. The corresponding anime series was released from 1988 to 1992.
