Togashi Yoshihiro

Again, I'm not sure if Americans would know this guy...

Although, I have seen a TV animation of his work in America before. (The above one.)

Everybody say this guy would have been a God of manga, if he didn't play Dragon Quest so much and actually worked on manga

-_-.

He would sometimes go months before he drew another chapter since he started a new series...

They say he had a lot of trouble with Jump magazine, like they sometimes locked him up in hotel rooms so he would draw his manga. And he is trying to put revenge on them by not working-_-;;;

Inoue Takehiko

Slam Dunk~ made everybody want to play basketball.

Vagabond. Story about some samurai...

I don't know if Americans know this guy well.

He is considered one of God of manga in Japan.

Akira Toriyama

Again, everybody knows Dragon Ball.

Another God of manga...

He used to work as commercial designer before he started up manga with his studio.

Tezuka Osamu

They call him the "first God of manga".

I think that sums most of it up.

Oda eiichiro

Everybody knows One Piece.

Number one popular vote in Japan's most popular manga mag., Jump, almost everytime its on...

They say this guy went to Jump building when he was 17 or something and drew first two chapters of One Piece in an hour or so...

Closest person to becoming the next God of manga?

Johannes Vermeer

Master of oil painting.

Did many scenes where you can see the window.

Caravaggio

(Click!)

Caravaggio. His real name... I don't remember. But it wasn't Caravaggio.

I did couple paintings in his dark-strong light style.

He traveled a lot while painting, often forced to (by the law).

Killed someone while on one of his travels.
