Ken Akamatsu Biography

Ken Akamatsu is one of the most popular and richest Manga Artist who was born on July 5, 1968 in Higashikurume, Tokyo, Japan.

Ken Akamatsu (赤松 健 , Akamatsu Ken, born July 5, 1968) is a Japanese manga artist from Tokyo. After success with A.I. Love You from 1994–1997, he wrote Love Hina from 1998 to 2001. His longest work to date has been Negima! Magister Negi Magi from 2003 to 2012. His current serial, UQ Holder!, is a sequel to Negima. Akamatsu is also the creator of the J-Comi website, a free digital distributor of out-of-print manga.

After a big hit with A.I. Love You, he finally made a grand success with his manga, Love Hina. The series appeared in Weekly Shōnen Magazine and has been collected in eleven volumes (with fourteen volumes in total), which have sold over 6 million copies in Japan, and received the Kodansha Manga Award for shōnen in 2001. Akamatsu had added elements of his own life experiences to the story, and this was said to have induced a unique feeling to the manga especially for Western readers, whose lack of familiarity with Japanese culture for the most part added to the effect. The series, published in America in 2002, was especially well received in many overseas countries – Akamatsu was surprised that even foreign readers found Love Hina to be “cute” and to their liking. Akamatsu appears as a character in the Love Hina anime, in episode 14, and the Christmas and Spring specials.
