This creator made his mark winning the 7th "Story King" award in Weekly Shonen Jump's issue 51 from 2001. Before that, he'd published a handful of works in Big Comic Spirits, including Any number of times on the 13th of June, Square Freeze, and LOVE LOVE Santa—though none of these early pieces really took off the way his Jump victory did.
