3Yoshihiro Togashi (born April 27, 1966) is the creator of ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'', ''Manga/LevelE'', and ''Manga/HunterXHunter''. Married to Creator/NaokoTakeuchi, with whom he has two children. He is also known for taking several long hiatuses for undisclosed reasons, but poor health, CreatorBreakdown mixed with editor attempts at ExecutiveMeddling and/or a focus on home life are the most frequent guesses. His art has also gotten a history of being serialized in a rough and unfinished state, requiring extensive revision when compiled in tankōbon. Although he had gotten better in that regard since 2014, which results in the revisions becoming much less extensive.

5Strangely Togashi is the highest-paid mangaka in Jump's payroll, and has the ability to take the hiatuses which he's famous for without consequence. This has been referred to as "Togashi-ism", and the only other person employed by Shueisha who has such favorable contract conditions is Kyosuke Usuta, author of ''Pyu to Fuku! Jaguar''.

7The ''other'' thing Togashi is famous for is his gratuitous amounts of HoYay in his work...and not [[PanderingToTheBase because he sells more manga that way]]; [[AuthorAppeal LGBT topics are one of his personal interests]]. He also likes ''VideoGame/DragonQuest''. [[MemeticMutation Maybe.]]

9The artist he is most inspired by is Creator/HRGiger, which should tell you something about [[NightmareFetishist his own predilections]].

11To put most rumors to rest, his former assistant, Kunio Ajino published a biographical manga titled ''Sensei Hakusho'' in recalling the days of working with Togashi from the beginning of ''[=YuYu=] Hakusho'' through to the end of ''Level E''.
