Naoko
Takeuchi
Well now you have come to know who Miss Takeuchi is. You are fan
# to come see her.
This information is by no means complete, but I figure a site about the manga of Takeuchi Naoko would be a bit lacking without a page on the author herself.
She was born on March 15th in the city of Kofu in Yamanashi prefecture. She is a Pisces with A-type blood. Takeuchi-sensei graduated from Kyoritsu Chemical University. Her thesis in the field of ultrasound in medical electronics was titled "Heightened Effects of Thrombolytic Actions Due to Ultrasound". She now lives in Azabu Juuban in Tokyo, the same area in which Sailor Moon takes place.
Takeuchi-sensei has liked drawing manga since she was young. She started contributing to Nakayoshi while in high school. During college, she was chosen for the Second Nakayoshi New Artist Manga Award for Love Call (Nakayoshi Deluxe, Sept. 1986).
Her works include Chocolate Christmas, Maria, The Cherry Project vol. 1-3, Code Name wa Sailor V vol. 1-3, Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon vol. 1-18, Miss Rain, and Prism Time vol. 1-2.
She received the 17th Kodansha Manga Award for Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon. Her favorite color is gold.
On January 6, 1999, Takeuchi-sensei married Togashi Yoshihiro, author of such shounen manga series as Yuu Yuu Hakusho and Hunter X Hunter.-------Info by Alex Glover.
