Tetsuo Hara: Difference between revisions

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.<br>

He suffers from an eye condition called [[wikipedia:Keratoconus|Keratoconus]] which left him blind in one eye, so all his work must be fixed by his assistants due to errors in perspective and he can no longer ink his own work.
