NIGHTOW BITS

About the mangaka... slambook style.

Name: Yasuhiro Nightow [Yasuhiro Naitoh]

DOB: April 8, 1967

Marital Status: married to mangaka Takako Kyuubi [widely-supported rumor]

Visible Influences: Todd McFarlane [of Spawn fame], Marvel & DC Comics, Leiji Matsumoto

Bits:

» Trigun's first three volumes were serialized in Shounen Captain. When he had to change publishers [Young King Ours] Nightow gave the manga a new name, Trigun Maximum.

» Trigun is Nightow's first major manga series [lucky guy]. He has done doujinshi [fan mangas] in the past.

» Samurai Spirits was his first non-doujinshi manga [smallish run, from 1994 to 1995]. Totally one-shot & a very rare item!
