CATDOLL: Japanese media released the ranking of "favorite cartoonists", and Sorachi Orangutan won

Behind every memorable anime character, there is the hard work of the cartoonist. It is because of their existence that these characters have crossed the barriers of the second dimension, come to our side, and become good companions of our hearts. In this regard, the Japanese website Charapedia conducted a vote of 10,000 people and recently announced the ranking of "favorite cartoonists".

Questionnaire survey period: July 2 to July 8, 2015

Gender of voters: Male: 52.0% Female: 48.0%

In the overall ranking, although Togashi Yoshihiro, the author of Hunter x Hunter, was displeased by fans for his delay in submitting manuscripts, he still ranked 11th, which shows that his work is quite popular. Surprisingly, Akira Toriyama and Eiichiro Oda were not ranked first, but ranked third and second respectively, while Sorachi, who always relied on selling moral integrity, had the last laugh.
