==Career==
==Career==
A native of Tokyo, Hara attended [[wikipedia:Hongo Senior High School|Hongo Senior High School]] and worked as an assistant to manga artist [[wikipedia:Yoshihiro Takahashi|Yoshihiro Takahashi]] after graduating. As an amateur, he won the first prize of the 33rd ''Fresh Jump'' award for his one-shot ''Super Challenger''.  Hara's professional career began with his first published work: ''Mad Fighter'' in 1982.  His first serialized work in the ''[[wikipedia:Shonen Jump|Weekly Shonen Jump]]'' was the ''Iron Don Quixote'', which lasted only ten weeks in serialization. He did not achieve fame until the publication of ''[[Hokuto no Ken]]'' (''Fist of the North Star'') in 1983, which he co-wrote with [[Buronson]] and ran for six years. After the completion of ''Fist of the North Star'', he worked on shorter series and one-shots, including three different adaptations of Ryu Keiichiro's novels (''Hana no Keiji'', ''Tokugawa Ieyasu'' and ''Sakon''). His current series is ''[[Souten no Ken]]'', which has been serialized in the ''[[wikipedia:Weekly Comic Bunch|Weekly Comic Bunch]]'' since 2001.
Tetsuo Hara was born in [[wikipedia:Shibuya|Shibuya]], Tokyo on September 2, 1961 and raised in [[wikipedia:Koshigaya, Saitama|Koshigaya, Saitama]].
