I went to a presentation on the creator of Inuyasha. She is Rumiko Takahashi. To tell the truth, I really did not know much about her. Rakahashi was born in 1957. One of the main themes in her work is that of the love story. She practivally invented the magical girlfriend saga.Takahashi is best known for Ranma 1/2. Her work essentially made Viz Entertainment what it is now. They produced an unflipped version of her anime for the Western market. By 1995, Takahashi had sold over 100,000,000 books. She is known as the Queen of Manga.
Some say Takahashi is the most successful female author in the world. She started Inuyasha in 1995. I did not start watching that anime until over 10 years later. Strangely enough, the presenter of the talk I attended did not care for Inuyasha.
