* DoingItForTheArt: Inoue is ''ridiculously'' dedicated to his craft, even by the standards of the manga industry. He once was unable to meet a deadline entirely because he spent the entire month thinking about how one of his characters would react.

Takehiko Inoue is an acclaimed {{manga}} artist, born on 12 January 1967 in Kagoshima prefecture's Okuchi city. He was inspired to become a mangaka when he came across Shinji Mizushima's Dokaben, and began working on becoming a manga artist while also pursuing UsefulNotes/{{Basketball}} during high school. Upon entering college he submitted a one-shot about basketball to a magazine, which was so well received that he received a telegram from an editor inviting him to Tokyo to work full-time as a mangaka. He worked as an assistant for Tsukasa Hojo during the production of Manga/CityHunter, and subsequently produced a short series called ''Chameleon Jail'' which ran in Weekly Shounen Jump and was his first series to be published as a tankobon volume.

* ArtEvolution: ''Manga/SlamDunk'' went through an absolutely massive jump in art quality during its 6 year run. The art, while not bad in the beginning, was kind of dated and average. Towards the end Inoue's more well-known realistic style had emerged, which was further refined in ''Manga/{{Vagabond}}''. Today, Inoue is one of the most respected mangaka in the industry.
