Biography

A famous person that I greatly admire is Rumiko Takahashi, who was born on 10 October 1957 in Niigara (Japan).
At first, she was interested in chemistry so she went to the university in Japan. During that period of time, she love drawing characters of books in her free time and one day her father, who is the director of an editorial company, convince her daughter doing the cover of his magazines. As soon as the magazines were released, she became very popular.
Later, she created a company of "mangakas" named "Rumic World" which works with books called "manga". Her most important book is "Ranma 1/2", which tells about a boy called Ranma, who is cursed, and he has to get marry with Akane, an aggressive girl. Like most other "mangakas", Rumiko went to another university to learn the "Chibby" tecnique, which is essencial for writting mangas.
What I admire most about Rumiko is that she is very creative and her ideas are very original. Thanks to that, she is now the most famous "mangaka" in Japan and also, her most important book "Ranma 1/2" has a TV series, which I love a lot. I hope that she continues doing more spectacular mangas because they make me laugh a lot!
