bramabull4316 (theard starter) commented on his drawing style being not very good that made me want to jump out an defend him, as his drawing style can be consider the root of all manga. His is the only one of the two mangaka that are still active have have been drawing them since the 70s. (the other being Rumiko Takahashi of Ranma1/2 and Inuyasha fame)

Others from his generation either have already died, lost in time, or moving on to background works (like Akira Toriyama). His work are so good, you'd be hard to find a mangaka who had more works been ported into other medias. Here are what I know:

Touch = Anime TV series, 3 Anime films, 1 live film, a culture icon series.
Rough =
Miyuki = Anime Series, 1 animate film, 1 TV drama pecial
