Happy Birthday, Togashi-sensei 🥳🎂

Working hard to write new HxH chapters💪🐶
Look at the beautiful Killua illustration that Yumiko Seki got from Togashi-sensei when she graduated from idol group Sakurazaka46.
Killua: "Graduation is the starting line!!" ✨❤️

"Akira x Pikachu" by Yoshihiro Togashi
I wanted to translate this 7-page manga Togashi drew to the "Wonderful Fight" doujinshi (1997), not only because there's Pokemon and Virtua Fighter.
But, because it has Togashi as the legend Takeshi Kitano 🫶
PP. 1-4
Remember Yu Yu Hakusho had a happy ending in 1994, and 18 years later Togashi drew the "Ending Pattern C"

Who remembers Togashi became a hot topic in 2010 for hosting the 5th "Togashi Mahjong Cup" while HxH was on hiatus? Prizes were autographed shikishi. Illustrator Ryuta Fuse won an original picture of Togashi🐶cosplaying Usagi playing mahjong🀄️
Hiei: "Mahjong? What is that?"✌️😸

At first, I thought they were selling Kurama's jacket, but it's actually Yusuke's. Would you wear it?😁
Mazoku Yusuke is too handsome.
Goods on their Taobao Store: 🇨🇳
Gon-kun, when will we meet again? 💚
In the exhibition, is said the tension in the unique nen battles is conveyed to the readers because Mr.Togashi draws with the attitude: "I'm ready to kill the main character anytime" 🧩

God Togashi-sensei came to the filming site of Netflix's Yu Yu Hakusho and talked to the cast. That's the most important info learned today 🙏🏻
I would have died if I had to perform in front of him🥹
Works that Togashi -sensei used as reference for Killua:
When he decided to make him a child of a family of assassins, "Shounen" by Kuroyume band, "Atsushi Kamijo" work, and "Multiple Personality Detective Psycho" came to his mind. That's how Killua ended up looking like that🤍
The first chapter of
#YuYuHakusho
, "Goodbye, Material World", was published in the WSJ N°51, on November 20, 1990㊗️🥂More than 50 million copies, including digital editions, have been sold so far (source: Togashi Exhibition)
33 years later we're getting a live actions series!⚽️
The Yu Yu Hakusho 30th Anniversary, and redraw in anime style of the kanzenban covers (2004-2005) continues🥳
They didn't forget the girls!🥰
Hiei is with Yukina which means more Hiei merch!💸
Togashi used shades of blue to color them. Yukina is so precious☃️#幽遊白書🧵
What would happen if Kurama used other plants and not only roses as weapons? 🌹🌵🌻🍃
In 1993, Togashi-sensei answered that question on Kurama's behalf, and ... it's a very scary answer!

Naoko Takeuchi & Yoshihiro Togashi visited "Hokuto no Ken" Exhibition this Monday, Oct 30. They left signed illustrations of Usagi and Gon!
Usagi: "Tetsuo-sensei, it was wonderful...♡ The color manuscripts are divine...♡ I'll come to see it again♡"
Togashi only drew Gon😅 (RP)
There's another teaser on the Netflix App!
#YuYuHakusho
The Sanzu River is so beautiful✨
I am sharing the one with eng subs, but there are many subs and dubs available on the official site:
A fan from Brazil sent me this page that a local magazine published in 1999. It's fun they edited an illustration of Ami and Kurama together to celebrate Naoko and Togashi marriage. In the original picture Kurama is actually holding Hiei. Show me magazines from your countries! 🙌🏻
Director Abe said the color scheme used in the anime came from the early comic book covers. So, Kurama's red hair probably came from this art used on the covers of WSJ n° 31, 1991, and volume 4.

- Yu Yu Hakusho 25th Anniversary: Blu-ray BOX with 2 new OVA (2018)
- Yu Yu Hakusho 30th anniversary: hehehehe❓(2022)
I like the art from BD 2009🔽
Kurama and Hiei are so popular, they have their own cover in Togashi Yoshihiro Chronicle 💕
Killua next to Hiei is also cute ☺️
Do you like blue Kurama and green Hiei? Color-code can be funny sometimes
Volume 4 is out this Friday!
Preview and contents:
Miyacchi brought "Kurapika's Memories" to the show. He wanted to hear HxH ending so much, but not that one (everyone's gonna die)😁
Before reading the "D End" they took a sip to calm down.🥤
It was Demon Slayer type of end, right?
Long live to Togashi-sensei!
湯♨️湯♨️白書 🫶Can't wait to watch the full CM!
Best thing that happened today😭
I also need to relax in a hot spring😪
Hot water changes Youko back into Shuuichi🦊
Hiei watching over Yukina🥹
Would you like a remake of the anime with this art?
Comedian Shintaro Morimoto will read Togashi's handwritten letter answering Toshiya Miyata (Kis-My-Ft2) & Yumiko Seki (ex-Sakurazaka46) questions!
Private life, HxH behind-the-scenes stories & even its ending will be discussed on the 14th and 21st on Iwakura & Yoshizumi talk show
I need a second season of the live action!

The manuscript of the Dark Continent is my favorite. It is such an extensive and colossal place that humans look like ants.
Can you spot Zigg Zoldyck, Isaac Netero and Linne there?🔍

According to the manga timeline, June is Yusuke's birth month. The unknown day is his departure for the Makai, a month before Shiori's wedding in July, and 2 months earlier than Kurama's arrival during the summer vacations🎂
The best protagonist of all shounen manga 🥳

2nd part of Togashi's humongous letter airs tomorrow night. I gently ask ppl to stop sending me leaks, I don't wanna read spoilers🙏🏻
Words glimpsed at last page: "cooking with a beaming smile, birds take off(?)" too hard to read😂I'm curious about the accurate words and context.
Look at the size of the handwritten letter Togashi-sensei wrote! 😆
No wonder they had to split the show into two parts. I am looking forward to next week!❤️
Togashi's doodle at "Zero" Pub in Shinjo, from September 1995 when Level E (set in his hometown) started.
Doraemon is cute 😹
I remember there was also rumour Togashi had a drinking party in 1998 to celebrate Naoko Takeuchi's birthday.
I wish I could hear more old stories.
For those who couldn't watch, here's 1st part of Togashi's letter read on "Iwakura&Yoshizumi show". Activate🇬🇧subtitles!
I'm worried cause tomorrow they talk about HxH end and Iwakura-san is crying😭
Private life & a famous HxH scene will be discussed too
Live action wasn't directly supervised by Togashi, but I was glad to see some editors names. Yu Saito and Kengo Monji worked with Togashi on Hunter × Hunter. Monji also worked on the Yu Yu Hakusho OVA (2018)
I felt the love for Togashi's work. Thanks to everyone involved!
Op of 31P gaiden "Two Shots", published in WSJ 9, 1992. "Almost parallel Sometimes they cross…!"❤️🔥
Togashi's comment in the Artbook: "I drew all the 31 pages freehanded without sketching. HAHAHA like I had time to do this. I was so angry that I didn't even call the assistants."

Black-haired Kurama is handsome, but the red hair became his trademark, after all.
Togashi used red and black colors, it feels like Hiei's dragon is matching Kurama's rose, I like it.
Yusuke Urameshi illustration Togashi drew especially for the "Yu Yu Hakusho Artbook" in 2005.
(chinese characters next to him is the date: February 8th, 2005)
The Nen ability Togashi-sensei would like to use is "Magical Worm" by the 11th Prince Fugetsu. It's the type of ability that would save him time and travel expenses. Furthermore, he says "If my lower back blows out during a trip, I can crawl to the local hospital."😆
I'm still watching the broadcast, but this article does a great summary of Togashi's letter, like his fav type of NEN & the idea of Gon failing the exam being rejected.
Next week, they'll talk about HxH end. I hope it's not a Togashi-ish answer "everyone is gonna die"😅
Togashi didn't plan on making Hiei an ally. It was his editor's advice. I think his character development & motive to steal the koma sword in the LA suited him better. I also felt the misunderstanding with Yusuke had some inspiration from TWO SHOTS, like when he first met Kurama.
