Interview: Takehiko Inoue



CNN's "Human to Hero" series profiles Slam Dunk creator Takehiko Inoue, one of Japan's most successful manga artists.

The 45-year-old artist has been working in the industry for a quarter of a century. He started out as an assistant on City Hunter for Tsukasa Hojo before making his solo debut in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump in 1988. Since then, he has worked on numerous series including Slam Dunk, Vagabond, and Real. That's a staggering amount of output, but in light of the speed at which he moves in this video, not a surprising amount.
