Inoue Takehiko, 1967 65438+ 10/2, was born in Kagoshima Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan. His favorite cartoonist is Ryoichi Ikegami, and his favorite basketball star is Michael Jordan of Chicago Bulls. From the age of 19, when he was studying in college, he would seize his spare time to draw a lot of cartoons whenever he was free. As a result, he has mastered many skills and laid a good foundation for his future development in the animation industry. Influenced by Shuidao Paul's works since childhood, everyone likes to draw some dynamic sports cartoons. exist
1989, 22-year-old Xiong Yan won the Osamu Tezuka Prize for his outstanding painting skills. Encouraged by his tutor, he decided to leave the literature department of Kumamoto University for three years and devote himself to the development of comics. Because his comic book was selected for "Young JUMP", he worked as an assistant for one year under Tsusaka Kitano after editing. In the meantime, he has been publishing his own comic series. By 1990, his cartoon "Flying Basketball" was so popular that he wanted to start his own business. I had to do it myself from beginning to end because of lack of manpower. At that time, he worked almost 20 hours a day. Things are much better now. He has four assistants around him, who are mainly responsible for drawing and pasting nets.
When he was in high school, Xiong Yan was crazy about basketball. He always wanted to draw some works on this subject. Because there were few cartoons introducing basketball in cartoons at that time, and they were untrue, I decided to draw an excellent basketball cartoon. It can also be said that his career stems from interest, and the determination of teenagers is very important for the growth of every youth.
Many readers think that Xiong Yan's Hanamichi Sakuragi is a bit like Rodman of Bulls, while Ruchuan is a bit like Jordan. But in fact, Xiong Yan didn't mention them when he painted. Maybe their power is close to the comic characters!
When painting Sakuragi's hair, in order to highlight his warm heart, it should be painted red. "Flying Basketball" is popular because every character has his supporters, and the story goes like this: A layman who is completely unfamiliar with basketball first joined the basketball department just because he likes Haruko. Later, with his talented figure and diligent practice, he gradually became the excellent king of the high school basketball team-"Super Rebound King" Hanamichi Sakuragi. Because this role is either right or wrong, it is very representative among junior and senior high school students. So his every move may be tomorrow's recess, which is a topic of debate among the students.
His coach, Anxi, is chubby and cute with a big belly, but as a coach, it is easy to have a dull illusion. No wonder Xiangbei can often unexpectedly turn the tide and win the whole game. Basketball games are colorful and varied, and there are often wonderful "entrance" shots, which can't really show a game full of live atmosphere. I try to make every character in the comic show his personality, and every shot and every action can convey a certain meaning, "because every character is my own flesh and blood"!
The broadcast of "Basketball Flying Man" established his stable position in the Japanese animation industry. There are also two roles of Sakuragi and Liuchuan in his work Love between Maple and Purple, but it has nothing to do with Flying Basketball. Boys in the Green Wind and Chameleon, which cooperated with Watanabe, are also very popular. The recent basketball craze has also brought strong repercussions to Shanghai. Nowadays, comic books, theme songs and cartoons are not only popular in the market, but also pictures, posters and photos about the characters in the film are hung. Perhaps this is China's characteristic "tie"!
