'Rurouni Kenshin'.
Nobuhiro Watsuki was born in 1970 in Tokyo, Japan. He became a manga artist, and his first comic 'Podmark' won him the Pop Step Award. One of Watsuki's assistants was Takeshi Obata. In 1994, magazine Sueisha published a 31-page story by him which proved to be the introduction to the popular series 'Rurouni Kenshin'. These series were also adapted into animated shorts.
