He was a Japanese manga artist animator, director, and the man responsible for creating the original manga Yu-Gi-Oh! in 1996. His manga lead to the creation of the trading card game played worldwide and published by Konami. He attributed the creation of the card game as a reference to Magic: The Gathering, but quickly found success as the original chapter involving the card blew up and reworked Yu-Gi-Oh! to center entirely around the card game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-attachment-id=\"104401\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/post\/104387\/kazuki-takahashi-passes-away-at-60\/kazuki_takahashi_death_001-1#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/kazuki_takahashi_death_001-1.jpg?fit=1200%2C1800&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1200,1800\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"kazuki_takahashi_death_001-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/kazuki_takahashi_death_001-1.jpg?fit=307%2C460&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/kazuki_takahashi_death_001-1.jpg?fit=800%2C1200&amp;ssl=1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/kazuki_takahashi_death_001-1.jpg?resize=800%2C1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-104401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/kazuki_takahashi_death_001-1.jpg?resize=800%2C1200&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/kazuki_takahashi_death_001-1.jpg?resize=307%2C460&amp;ssl=1 307w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/kazuki_takahashi_death_001-1.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/kazuki_takahashi_death_001-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/kazuki_takahashi_death_001-1.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" title=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Follow QooApp official\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/QooAppGlobal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/QooApp_EN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/s\/CBIwlaatzoIB?sceid=US:en&amp;sceid=US:en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google News<\/a>\u00a0to get the latest ACG information!<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yugioh-card.com\/en\/\" style=\"background-color:#75bfc6;color:#ffffff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Official Site<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/YuGiOh_TCG\" style=\"background-color:#75bfc6;color:#ffffff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Official Twitter<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The original creator behind Yu-Gi-Oh!
