The spotlight on Rumiko Takahashi’s career began in 1978 when she won an honorable mention in Shogakukan’s prestigious New Comic Artist Contest for
Those Selfish Aliens. Later that same year, her boy-meets-alien comedy series
Urusei Yatsura was serialized in
Weekly Shonen Sunday. Takahashi followed up the success of her debut series with one blockbuster hit after another—
Maison Ikkoku ran from 1980 to 1987,
Ranma 1/2 from 1987 to 1996, and
Inuyasha from 1996 to 2008. Her recent notable works include
Rin-ne and
Mao.
Takahashi was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Awards Hall of Fame in 2018. She won the prestigious Shogakukan Manga Award twice in her career, once for
Urusei Yatsura in 1981 and the second time for
Inuyasha in 2002. A majority of the Takahashi canon has been adapted into other media, such as anime, live-action TV series, and film.
Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon is set in the world of Takahashi’s
Inuyasha and continues the adventures of the original characters as well as their descendants.
