Naoko Takeuchi is a milestone in the manga industry. Through her work Sailor Moon, her name has become synonymous with magical girls and powerful warriors around the world. Her ability to create memorable characters and compelling plots catapulted her to stardom, and her legacy lives on in pop culture. However, what is curious is that many fans do not know who the mangaka’s husband is, which is ironic since this is another iconic mangaka.
Who is Naoko Takeuchi’s husband?
Naoko Takeuchi’s husband is none other than Yoshihiro Togashi, the legendary Japanese mangaka. The couple met when they were both studying at the same university, Kyushu Sangyo University of the Arts. They are said to have fallen in love with each other, sharing their passion for manga and anime. At this point, if the name isn’t familiar to you, it wouldn’t hurt to note that Yoshihiro Togashi is known around the world as the author of such popular works as Yu Yu Hakusho and Hunter x Hunter.

The truth is that despite both of them being prominent figures in the manga industry, they have both chosen to keep their personal lives out of the media spotlight for the most part. Their relationship is an example of two talented artists sharing their love for manga, and it’s clear they’ve built a life together in the industry. In this sense, it is curious how many fans, due to the constant break in Hunter x Hunter, hope that Naoko Takeuchi will complete the adventures of Gon Freecss.
