About the creator
Kosuke Fujishima was born July 7, 1964 in the wilds of Chiba, Japan. It was soon determined that he was a human, with blood type B. He then proceeded to grow up and go to the school. But let us draw a discreet curtain over these days.

After graduating from high school, Fujishima landed a job as an editor for Puff, a comics news magazine. While there, it is rumored he was responsible for the parody comic called “X´-pa no Yoko-chan” that ran in Puff.

One of his jobs as an editor was to interview Tatsuya Egawa, who was running his groundbreaking “Be free!” serial in Kodansha´s comic morning magazine at that time. After the interview, Fujishima mustered the nerve to ask Egawa if he needed an assistant. Egawa looked at Fujishima´s work and said “Sure!” Thus, our unsuspecting, young editor plunged into the abyss of comics-artist hell.

Fujishima generally dates his debut as a professional with the publication of a comics-style report he did for Comic morning on the making of the 1986 live-action theatrical-movie version of “Be free!”

The fans loved his work, and Morning received a fan letter raving about the policewoman characters Fujishima had used in the Making of Be free! report. He was inspired by this letter to crate his first series, You´re under arrest!, which began in Morning Party Extra in 1986.

In 1988 Fujishima did a four-panel gag cartoon that featured the characters from You´re under arrest! praying to a goddess. This was part of contest in which readers could win various You´re under arrest! presents, such a T-shirts. In the cartoon, Miyuki and Natsumi were asking the goddess to please let them win the contest. Fujishima was so pleased with the way the goddess turned out that she became the basis for Belldandy and inspired the creation of the Oh my goddess! series for Afternoon magazine.

So, as you can see, Fujishima´s stories are often inspired by some minor characters he creates for another purpose entirely.

Fujishima has a ridiculous number of hobbies, including: Playing electric guitar and with his new Mac, building plastic models and garage kits and taking care of his numerous tropical fish. He also owns, rides and repairs his seven motorcycles and three cars. He listen DMX - a digital, commercial-free radio service- while he works, and he likes classic American hard rock such Van Halen and Bon Jovi. Fujishima also like Japanese idols singers- in fact, there is a quite convincing rumor that the name “Morisato” (from Oh my goddess!) comes from the name of the idol singer MORItaka ChiSATO.
