CATDOLL: Netizens revealed that the annual income of Japanese cartoonists, the author of "One Piece" is 12.8 billion!

We all know that the main source of income for Japanese cartoonists is copyright fees, and although those well-known cartoonists work very hard, their income is also very high. So how high is the income of cartoonists? Recently, a Japanese netizen broke the news and listed the top five writers in terms of annual royalty income in 2015.

The first place is undoubtedly the author of One Piece, Eiichiro Oda, who is said to have an annual royalty income of 12.8 billion yen (about 845 million yuan); the second place is the author of Dragon Ball, Akira Toriyama, with an annual royalty income of 6.27 billion yen (about 414 million yuan); the third place is the author of Uzumaki Akimoto, with an annual royalty income of 6.26 billion yen (about 413 million yuan); the fourth place is the author of Detective Conan, Gosho Aoyama, with an annual royalty income of 5.6 billion yen (about 370 million yuan); the fifth place is the author of Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto, with an annual royalty income of 5.4 billion yen (about 356 million yuan). Seeing this number, everyone was shocked.

The netizen who broke the news said that the above is the total annual income from various royalties. In addition, the tax on works in Japan is also very high, and the amount of tax accounts for about half of the total income, so the actual income is not that much. But if calculated in this way, the income of Oda Eiichiro and others is also quite amazing, but the work of a cartoonist is also very hard, and it seems that they have no time to spend money. Among the top 5 authors in annual royalty income, 4 are from JUMP. It seems that JUMP still has an absolute hegemonic position.
