When asked whom he would like to see fight each other from his popular manga Bleach, Kubo-sensei said either Shunsui and Ukitake or Ichigo and Kaien, but that the latter who be impossible. [edit]
His popular manga Bleach has sold nearly 7 million volumes. [edit]
He was born in the year of the (Fire) Snake. [edit]
He likes total silence when working on his manga. He especially doesn’t like a radio being on. [edit]
He purposely writes and draws manga so that it can only be done as manga or anime. [edit]
He does not want a live action Bleach movie. [edit]
He wrote his first manga, Zombie Powder, in his third year of high school. [edit]
He has an interest in industrial design and architecture, and would have gone into a business involving them if he did not become a manga-ka (manga artist). [edit]
He does the character design for the Bleach anime, which is a rarity among manga-ka. [edit]
He is featured in an interview in Viz's Shonen Jump March 2006, Volume 4, Issue 3. [edit]
Kubo-sensei: I never imagined when I started writing Bleach that it would eventually be published in the U.S., so I'm really glad that American readers have taken to it and enjoyed my work. Please continue to support Bleach. I've also been told that I should visit America someday. [edit]
Kubo-sensei: (talking about his hit manga Bleach) I'm the type who worries about the difference between the season in the story and season in reality. This series [Bleach] started in the summer [for the manga version]. At that time, the season in the story was the month of May. That difference has always weighed on my mind. With this volume [3], the main character Ichigo's introduction ends at last. The stage is June. Unexpectedly nice timing. If you can, please read it [volume 3 of the manga] on a rainy evening. [edit]
