fighting bleach calm
I am calm. That's why I can fight you!~Uryu Ishida
cutting fighting thinking
When you're dodging, you're "afraid of getting hit." When you're attacking, you're "afraid of hitting me." When you're protecting someone, you're "afraid of them dying." It's pathetic! You can't give into fear in a fight! When you're dodging, think "I won't let you hit me!" When you're protecting someone, think "I won't let you die!" When you're attacking, think "I will cut you!" --Urahara Kisuke
fighting light land
If you give me wings I will soar for you Even if this whole land Sinks down to the water If you give me a sword I will fight for you Even if this whole sky Shoots through with your light

Remember this well. There are two kind of fights. As long as we place ourselves in battle, we must always know the difference: fights to defend life… and fights to defend pride…

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.

The hardest thing about being a manga-ka is that it's a weekly thing.
love
I've always wanted to be a manga-ka, so I'm doing what I love.
All the important drawings I do myself. Every single character is also done by me.

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.
draw scene time
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.
death life
For me, life and death are very important themes. There is no life without death. That's why it's very important to me.
believe enjoyable message people talented
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.
looks sulking enough
So stop sulking. You're not old enough for the cool, tortured look.
bleach do-not-fear
Those who do not fear the sword they wield have no right to wield a sword at all. ~Shuhei Hisagi
