"A question that I am guaranteed to get asked when interviewed overseas is “What was the prompt that caused you to draw Yu-Gi-Oh!?”. And that sure is a troubling question. The response I usually give involves putting on a lot of air and saying “I wanted to work with a new perspective on games as a concept and write a battle story that had been unseen before and blah blah blah…” or something of the likes, but truth to be told, I myself don’t really know. It might have been “I just suddenly had the thought…”, or “I just wanted to draw the character Yugi.”… well, that also is part of it."
