If I want to draw more in a particular scene that I think is important, because of time I cannot. That's hard for me. But I've always wanted to be a manga-ka, so I'm doing what I love.

I have three assistants, but there isn't a head assistant. All the important drawings I do myself. Every single character is also done by me.

In Japan, artists and fans are rather far apart from each other.

The message is that if you believe in what you create, it's enjoyable and people will follow. The talented mangaka should know that; otherwise, no one would read or enjoy it. So believe in yourself. Believing in yourself is important.

I've always wanted to be a manga-ka, so I'm doing what I love.

In Japan there is a lot of manga, but around manga there are video games, manga on cellphones, manga in card games... so people not only enjoy manga but also the products around it.

For me, life and death are very important themes. There is no life without death. That's why it's very important to me.

When I draw the scene that I'd been dreaming about or had always wanted to draw, that is the time that I'm happiest.

All the important drawings I do myself. Every single character is also done by me.

The hardest thing about being a manga-ka is that it's a weekly thing.

Between last night and this morning, I've been getting a lot of messages from overseas fans along the lines of 'There's an American comic ripping off Bleach!' I'm not that good at English, but I looked at the site and it seems it's a comic by Nick Simmons, the son of Gene Simmons. To be honest, I'm more bothered by the fact that Gene Simmons' son is a comic artist than whether or not it's a rip-off.

Do you know why the big brother is born first? It’s to protect the little brothers and sisters that come after him. A brother telling his sister, "I’ll kill you"... You never, ever say something like that.

if something is perfect, then there is nothing left,there is no for imagination, no place left for a person to gain additional knowledge or abilities

I've decided. I'm going to become a Shinigami. Become a Shinigami and change things. So that they'll end... without Rangiku having to cry.

Admiration is the emotion furthest from understanding. ~Sosuke Aizen

Don't use such strong words. It'll only make you look weak.

What is this "heart"? If I tear open that chest of yours, will I see it there? If I smash open that skull of yours, will I see it there?

No one stands on the top of the world. Not you, not me, not even gods. But the unbearable vacancy of the throne in the sky is over. From now on... I will be sitting on it.

I hit something. Alright.
