Biography

[edit]

Ishiguro was born in Fukui on September 8, 1977.[1][2] Ishiguro was fond of Fujiko Fujio's works growing up, especially Doraemon. When Ishiguro was in middle school, his dad rented Akira from a rental store and watched it with Ishiguro, who cites it as a major influence over his work.[3] Ishiguro later said that growing up he felt that becoming a manga artist was "the only way to go".[4] Ishiguro eventually graduated from Osaka University of Arts in 2001.[5][6]

Just prior to graduation, Ishiguro submitted the one-shot Hero to Kodansha's Monthly Afternoon magazine, which won the Afternoon Shiki Award [ja] in 2000. Soon after, he left Monthly Afternoon and published one-shots and short series in other magazines.[3][6] In 2005, Ishiguro launched And Yet the Town Moves, which received an anime adaptation.[7] In 2018, Ishiguro returned to Monthly Afternoon with Heavenly Delusion, which also received an anime adaptation.[8]
