Hashiguchi Takashi

Takashi Hashiguchi (born June 2, 1967 in Tokyo) is a Japanese manga artist. He is best known for his manga series Yakitate!! Japan, for which he won the Shogakukan Manga Award for shounen in 2004. Hashiguchi won a newcomer's award in 1987 (published in a magazine), and Combat Teacher debuted the following year in the same magazine.

He enjoys comedy as well, and took a brief interlude from drawing to try his luck as a comedian.
