Naoko

She's cuter then Sailor Moon! Her name is Naoko Takeuchi, she was born March 15, 1967. Her Mother's name is Ikuko and her father's name is Kenji. She has a younger brother named Shingo! She may write Sailor Moon but she didn't really start out to write it. In 1986 she went Kyoritsu Yakka Universty (pharmacy) during that year she presented her self as a manga-ka (comic artist) with a story called "Love Call" and won the Nakayoshi Manga-ka Award. (That's our Naoko for you!)

She graudated then went on to work at Kieo Hospital. She was a licensed pharmacist (she's good at anything!)

July 18,1991 Code Name wa Sailor V came out, it was published in "RunRun" summer issuse. Sailor Moon (BSSM) started in February 1992. The T.V. series started that March on the 7th.

She even wrote a letter to us all, it was placed in "Genga Shu Vol.5"!

There are people who support Sailor Moon manga or anime in places where I don't even know! This is exciting! 
Everytime I read fan letters from somewhere far away, it brings tears in my eyes. Tears of joy. It warms up my heart and makes me say "I'm going to live my life fully from tomorrow."

I was able to discover this kind of joy by drawing Sailor Moon.

First, "Sailor Moon" was a little personal world made up and existed only in my mind. But now with many people's work, it's spread all over the world.

Seeing many people from all over the world writing to me and saying "I love Sailor Moon," I know that it happened for real. I won't say "I can't believe it" anymore.

I used to think people in other countries have different languages, lifestyle, race, and therefore, it is difficult to understand each other. But now I know everybody is the same human being. With everybody's power, everybody can share the same feeling.

I have many dreams. One of them is to look at the earth from space. But now, I can think the same thing that an astronaut would think by looking at the earth from space even when I am sitting down facing my desk or laying in my bed.

There's only one earth.

I am very very happy that I can feel this joy.

I am so glad that I drew Sailor Moon. Thank you so much everybody. I dedicate this book to all the Sailor Moon fans all over the world with love. Wishing everybody happiness.....

A lot of the information I got from SOS! I once did a project on Naoko for my school so I had all this info and decide to put it to use!
