Author of manga ‚Yu-Gi-Oh!‘ Kazuki Takahashi found dead in Okinawa

«Yu-Gi-Oh!» ran in the Japanese weekly comic magazine «Shonen Jump» between 1996 and 2004. It told the story of Yugi, a teenager who receives an ancient puzzle that awakens in him the alter ego of an Egyptian pharaoh. The manga gave rise to a media franchise including a trading card game as well as anime series and films.

It was later published as a series of 38 books by Japanese publishing powerhouse Shueisha, which did not issue any immediate statement on Takahashi’s death.

Takahashi wrote under a pen name and his real first name was Kazuo.

Takahashi’s works are hugely popular at home and abroad, with his manga turned into a television series, movies and card games.

In 2011, «Yu-Gi-Oh!» was recognized by Guinness World Records as the world’s best-selling trading card game after selling more than 25.17 billion sets around the world, according to Kyodo News.
