Gosho Aoyama, born Yoshimasa Aoyama in Tottori Prefecture, Japan, is a popular manga-ka. He graduated from Ikuei High School, and went on to study art at Nihon University, Tokyo, Japan. In the winter of 1986, as a freshmen, Aoyama-sensei joined a comic contest and won! This was the first major step in his career as a manga-ka.

One year later, Aoyama-sensei released his first manga named Chotto Mattete (Wait a Minute). Chotto Mattete was published in the weekly magazine Shonen Sunday. In 1988, Magic Kaito began publication in the same magazine.

Aoyama-sensei didn’t stop there. In the same year as Magic Kaito, Yaiba started it’s run. This 24-volume manga won the Shogakukan manga contest in 1992. Two more of his works, 3rd Base 4th and Gosho Aoyama's Collection of Short Stories, soon followed.

Finally, in 1994, Aoyama-sensei’s most popular manga was published - Meitantei Conan (Detective Conan or Case Closes as it’s known in the U.S.). On May 5, 2005, he married voice actress and singer Minami Takayama. Minamu is (and was still at the time) the seiyû for Conan in the Detective Conan anime.

    He's the greatest Manga-ka in the world! hide show

    Gosho Aoyama is a man with a brilliant mind. With such works as Magic Kaito and Detective Conan, it's hard to believe that he's just on person. I absolutely adore his work and believe that he is a honest, hard working man. Gosho's hit series, Detective Conan, is my absolute favorite. I just hope that Gosho can untangle some of the rumors that are floating around about the future of the show. I just have to take off a couple of points for most of his characters looking the same(honestly, if they were all bald, you couldn't tell them apart).

    Do you agree?
