Kazuya Terashima ( Japanese : 寺嶋 一? , Hepburn : Terashima Kazuya , 13 October 1958 ? 6 October 2020) , known by his pen name Izumi Matsumoto ( まつもと 泉 , Matsumoto Izumi ) , was a Japanese manga artist best known for Kimagure Orange Road . His career started in 1982, publishing his comic Milk Report in the manga magazine Weekly Sh?nen Jump . But real success came in 1984, publishing Kimagure Orange Road in the same magazine.

In 2005, he revealed that he was afflicted with a cerebrospinal fluid disease (possibly stemming from a car accident when he was three years old) that had forced him to take six years off work, and he hoped to bring attention to this disorder through a new manga. [1]

On 3 November 2019, Matsumoto revealed that he had been diagnosed with spinal stenosis . [2] Matsumoto died at 61 on October 6, 2020. [3]

Career [ edit ]

Izumi Matsumoto began working for Weekly Sh?nen Jump when he cold called them and formed a relationship with Toshimasa Takahashi, then a junior editor in charge of answering phones. His work "Live! Tottemo Rock 'n' Roll" then won a newcomer award. This led to the 1982 publication of Milk Report in Fresh Jump . [4]

Just two years later he began Kimagure Orange Road in Weekly Sh?nen Jump , which was an instant success. [4] Following its end, he began Sesame Street (not to be confused with the television series of the same name ) in Super Jump .

In 1994, Matsumoto conceived the idea for a digital manga on CD-ROM , the first of its kind. [4] The five-volume Comic On was also possibly the first "trans-hemispheric manga compilation" as the semi-animated content set to music and dialogue also contained work by Jan Scott-Frazier and Lea Hernandez . Matsumoto set up his own company Genesis DPC to fund the project and partnered with Toshiba EMI to sell it. Manga publishers considered this a competitor, and Matsumoto struggled to get permission from Shueisha to use his own Kimagure Orange Road characters in the work. [4]
