Hideyuki Yonehara
Description
Hideyuki Yonehara is a Japanese manga artist born on October 2, 1967, in Tokyo. He made his professional debut in 1989 with the work Springs, which was initially published in Young Champion. Throughout his career, he has been primarily associated with Akita Shoten’s Weekly Shōnen Champion magazine, where the majority of his series have been serialized.
Yonehara is the original creator of the manga Udauda Yatteru Hima wa Ne!, which was serialized in Weekly Shōnen Champion from 1992 to 1996 and later compiled into 22 tankōbon volumes. This work was adapted into a two-episode original video animation (OVA) produced by the studio J.C.Staff, released in 1995. The story follows two high school delinquents, Shimada Aki and Akaki Naomi, whose involvement in fights escalates into conflicts with organized crime, distinguishing it with a level of violence beyond typical school brawls.
Another major work in his bibliography is the adventure series Full Ahead! Coco, which ran from 1997 to 2002 and was collected in 30 volumes. His other notable serializations include the science fiction and fantasy titles Switch (2002–2004), Hae! BunBun (2005–2006), and Dämons (2006–2008), the latter of which was based on an original story by Osamu Tezuka that Yonehara reinterpreted. Additional works span various genres, including the seinen series Vision Noa (2011) and the ongoing Sunset Rose, which began serialization in 2013. He has also contributed to a shojo magazine with Cold Rush in 2011, for which he provided the story.
Yonehara is described as a self-taught artist who reportedly has no history of working as a manga assistant. He is noted for his consistent publication record, with a career defined by steady serialization across different demographics, including shonen, seinen, and shojo. He has also contributed to anime in a limited capacity, credited for the end card art in the 2014 anime series Urayasu Tekkin Kazoku. His body of work encompasses over one hundred collected volumes, reflecting a long and prolific career in the industry.
