Hideaki sorachi biography samples free

Sorachi has stated that his pen name is derived from the Sorachi prefecture in Hokkaido, but Hideaki is a part of his real name. Sorachi has commented that he prefers using analog writing implements as opposed to creating digital art; his most used writing utensil being the calligraphy brush pen. He also uses felt-tip and permanent markers, and a round-nib and G-pen.

However, after his father ridiculed a manga he drew in 4th grade, Sorachi decided to give up on his dream of becoming a manga artist. Sorachi entered a university in Hokkaido, studying a degree in advertising. He recounted feeling unsure of his career path while enrolled at university, considering following his interests in both architecture and creating computer graphics.

Hideaki sorachi net worth

After graduating, Sorachi considered himself to be a " NEET ", and sent his first work, Dandelion , to a publisher whilst being unsure of its potential success. Sorachi, unemployed after graduating university, was able to live off Dandelion. Soon afterwards, he began writing the storyline for Gintama. At the start of the serialisation of Gintama , the series lacked popularity and support, leading to a potential cancellation.

Researchers have credited the popularity of the Gintama series to Sorachi's uniquely humorous characters and satirisation of contemporary themes. Critics have also complimented Sorachi's distinctive sense of humour, often satirising Japanese pop culture, or frequent use of vulgar language and toilet humour.
