CATDOLL: The author of "Naruto" is second to last in the top ten Japanese cartoonists selected by foreign media

The achievements of the Japanese comics industry are among the best in the world, and there have been many master-level comics artists praised by the world. Recently, an overseas video website called WatchMojo announced the ranking of the top ten Japanese comics artists who have influenced the world. This ranking is based on the works selected by the website and the animations adapted from their works that have brought great influence to the world and can represent Japanese comics artists.

The winner of the first place is Mr. Akira Toriyama, whose representative work "Dragon Ball" is world-renowned and has a wide influence in many countries. Mr. Akira Toriyama not only draws comics, but also designs characters for many games. His influence is definitely not limited to comics, especially in the 1990s when he was a leader in the popularity of animation.

The second place winner is Osamu Tezuka, a pioneer in the Japanese comics and animation industry. He is also the first manga artist in Japan to introduce the assistant system and corporate management. Without him, there would be no development of the Japanese animation industry today.

The third place goes to Mr. Eiichiro Oda. "One Piece" is the best-selling comic on the planet. This alone has made Mr. Oda achieve a success that no one else can achieve.

Rumiko Takahashi makes each of her works full of her own unique style. This may not sound difficult at first, but how many people can really do it? When everyone is rushing to do SF, studying psychological analysis, or rushing to the BL position where they can quickly make a fortune, Takahashi is still weaving her own dream. Her skillful brushwork and meticulous brushstrokes can indeed be called "Takahashi's comics".

Naoki Urasawa's early style was inspirational and warm youth growth comics, and later turned to a deeper exploration of human nature and social phenomena, covering history, psychology, criminology, science fiction, etc. His representative works include "YAWARA!", "MONSTER", "20th Century Boys", and "PLUTO".

Before becoming famous, Arakawa had a relatively hard time. She had the issue of inheriting the family business, and agreed with her family that she would do farm work until she was 25 years old, while her younger brother's future was decided. At the age of 25, Arakawa submitted a work to the monthly magazine "Shonen GANGAN" and won the 9th Manga Award of "Shonen GANGAN" with a short story "STRAY DOG", and officially debuted from then on.

There's not much to say about Junji Ito, it's just horror horror horror horror horror horror horror horror horror...

Togashi Yoshihiro: What do you want me to say? You want me to stop publishing?

Everyone must be familiar with Masashi Kishimoto's "Naruto". In his early years, he was deeply influenced by works such as "Dragon Ball", "Akira", "Fist of the North Star", "Doraemon", and "Yu Yu Hakusho". He admired predecessors in the animation industry such as Akira Toriyama, Katsuhiro Otomo, Tetsuo Hara, Yoshihiro Togashi, and Tetsuya Nishio.

Hirohiko Araki is a Japanese male manga artist. His works are full of a sense of wonder and adventure. The charm of Mr. Araki's works is not only reflected in the powerful brushstrokes and painting style, but also in the costumes of the characters. This is probably related to his ambition to be a fashion designer. The characters in Araki's works are all wearing various accessories, and the clothes are even more unconventional, similar to the clothes worn by fashion models at the fashion show in Milan, Italy.
