Shuuichi Shigeno
しげの秀一
Shuichi Shigeno is a Japanese manga artist famous for creating Initial D. Shigeno has also created Baribari Densetsu, Dopkan, and Tunnel Nuketara Sky Blue all prior to the manga that would make him famous in 1995. In 1985, he received the Kodansha Manga Award in shounen for Bari Bari Densetsu.
He owns a 1980s Toyota Sprinter Trueno with a panda white color scheme, like Initial D's main character Takumi. He also owns a Sonic Blue Mica-colored 1999 WRX Type STi Version 6 with an STi sports bumper (a part from the STi sport catalogue made to look like the 22B STi bumper but fits non-wide body Imprezas) just like Takumi's father, Bunta. One of his notable students is Jyoji Morikawa, creator of Hajime no Ippo.
