Kentaro Miura is a renowned Japanese manga artist born in 1966 in Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture, Japan. Known for his exceptional left-handed skills, Miura's passion for manga began at a young age. At 10, he created his first manga, "Miuranger," which spanned 40 volumes. This marked the beginning of his prolific career. In 1977, Miura's second manga, "Ken e no michi," showcased his growing expertise, utilizing Indian ink for the first time. Throughout his high school years, Miura refined his drawing techniques, publishing his first dōjinshi and collaborating with friends on school booklets and fan-produced magazines. Miura's professional journey continued to flourish when he enrolled in an artistic curriculum in high school. His work, "Futanabi," earned him admission to Nihon University's art college, where it was later nominated for Best New Author work in Weekly Shōnen Magazine. The 1985 publication of "Noa" in Weekly Shōnen Magazine further solidified Miura's reputation as a talented emerging artist. Although his career experienced a setback due to a disagreement with an editor, Miura persevered and bounced back with a 48-page manga in 1988.
