The spotlight on Rumiko Takahashi’s career began in 1978 when she
won an honorable mention in Shogakukan’s annual New Comic Artist
Contest for Those Selfish Aliens. Later that same year, her
boy-meets-alien comedy series, Urusei Yatsura, was serialized in
Weekly Shonen Sunday. This phenomenally successful manga series was
adapted into anime format and spawned a TV series and half a dozen
theatrical-release movies, all incredibly popular in their own
right. Takahashi followed up the success of her debut series with
one blockbuster hit after another—Maison Ikkoku ran from 1980 to
1987, Ranma 1/2 from 1987 to 1996, and Inuyasha from 1996 to 2008.
Other notable works include Mermaid Saga, Rumic Theater, and
One-Pound Gospel.
Takahashi won the Shogakukan Manga Award twice in her career, once
for Urusei Yatsura in 1981 and the second time for Inuyasha in
2002. A majority of the Takahashi canon has been adapted into other
media such as anime, live-action TV series, and film.
