There have recently been rumors about the death of a well-known manga artist named Keisuke Itagaki.
The news is false, as the manga artist is fit and healthy. He is regarded as one of Japan’s most popular artists. Fans are crazy about his famous manga, Grappler Baki, so the news of his death saddened Baki fans worldwide. The good news is that it’s all made up and false.
He began working on Garouden, an original work by Baku Yumemakura, in 1996. He also worked on the series Garouden Boy.
Before becoming a manga artist, he served in the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force’s 1st Airborne Brigade for five years. During his service, he participated in the National Sports Festival and practiced amateur boxing. He also has a Shorinji Kempo degree, which he has been practicing since he was a teenager.
He is 65 years old and was born on April 4, 1957. He is best known for his martial arts manga series Grappler Baki and its four sequels, which have sold over 75 million copies worldwide.
The plot follows Baki Hanma, a teenager, as he trains and puts his fighting skills to the test against various opponents in deadly, no-rules hand-to-hand combat.
This brutal yet masterwork of gritty martial arts by Keisuke Itagaki features detailed and action-packed artwork. It continues to build a fan base worldwide, with the anime series featured on one of the most liked OTT platforms, Netflix.
The current rumors of his death had the Baki fans worried about losing one of the best manga artists in the world, but they must be pretty happy to hear that it all was fake news to create havoc on the internet and social media.
