Conocer la vida de los mangaka nos ayuda a entender sus motivaciones o lo que ha servido como base para la creación de sus obras, así que voy a compartirles algunos datos que encontré sobre él, los cuales me parecieron interesantes para compartir con la comunidad.
Takeshi Obata nació en Niigata, Japón, el 11 de febrero de 1969. Mostró un talento natural para el dibujo y pasión por el manga desde muy joven. Fue tanto su interés por el arte que esto lo llevó a estudiar en la Universidad de Arte de Kyoto. Allí, perfeccionó sus habilidades y comenzó a trabajar en su primer manga de manera profesional.
Debutó en la industria con la serie "Cyber Blue" en 1990, la cual fue publicada en la revista Weekly Shonen Jump. A pesar que no resultó una obra tan exitosa, le sirvió de base para desarrollar su estilo y ganar experiencia creando manga.
Su carrera coménzó a despegar con la serie "Hikaru no Go", en la cual trabajó en conjunto co Yumi Hotta como escritor. Se publicó entre 1198 y 2003 en la revista Shonen Jump. La historia trata de Hikaru Shindo, este es un estudiante de secundaria quien descubre un tablero de Go con poderes mágicos, el cual le permite ver los movimientos de los espíritus de Go.

Knowing the lives of mangaka helps us understand their motivations or what has served as the basis for the creation of their works, so I am going to share some data I found about him, which I found interesting to share with the community.
Takeshi Obata was born in Niigata, Japan, on February 11, 1969. He showed a natural talent for drawing and a passion for manga from a very young age. His interest in art was so great that it led him to study at the Kyoto University of Art. There, he perfected his skills and began working on his first manga professionally.
He debuted in the industry with the series "Cyber Blue" in 1990, which was published in the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. Although it was not a very successful work, it served as a foundation for him to develop his style and gain experience creating manga.
His career began to take off with the series "Hikaru no Go," in which he worked together with Yumi Hotta as the writer. It was published between 1998 and 2003 in the Shonen Jump magazine. The story revolves around Hikaru Shindo, a high school student who discovers a Go board with magical powers, which allows him to see the movements of Go spirits. The work was a commercial success and resulted in a new generation of readers venturing into the world of Go, an ancient Japanese board game.

After this, his most famous work, "Death Note," was published in the Shonen Jump magazine between 2003 and 2006, which he co-created with Tsugumi Ohba.
