Dewicking Not So Different as it is now a disambig.

Watsuki is notable for several reasons, the first of which is his seeming mastery of MultipleDemographicAppeal (which was most obvious and successful in ''Kenshin'', but applies to all his works). Despite being a {{shonen}} mangaka (and in fact one of ''Magazine/ShonenJump'''s steadiest contributors over the years), he deliberately attempts to place elements in his stories - or write entire ''stories'' flat out - that will appeal to other age and gender groups. While this doesn't ''always'' work, with ''Kenshin'' it created one of the anime juggernauts of the 90s, as the crossover appeal of the characters and story is what propelled it to national and ''inter''national fame. For his part, Watsuki attributes this to having read a decent amount of {{shojo}} as a lad, and realizing that "boys" and "girls" stories [[NotSoDifferent weren't necessarily all that different]]. This lesson seems to have rubbed off well on his students, too (see directly below).

While he was one of the true heavyweights of TheNineties, he's been somewhat overshadowed by his own students in recent years (although almost ''everyone'' stands in Oda's shadow these days, to some degree). ''Busou Renkin'' was decently well-received, but ''Gun Blaze West'' did rather poorly. ''Embalming'' has made a strong showing so far, however, and may get an anime adaptation in the not-too-distant future.

Nobuhiro Watsuki is a mangaka who is far and away most famous for being the brain behind ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'', one of the most successful {{manga}} and {{anime}} series of the 90s. He's worked on several other titles, however, including ''Manga/BusouRenkin'', ''Manga/GunBlazeWest'', and he is currently working on ''Manga/{{Embalming}}''.
Watsuki is notable for several reasons, the first of which is his seeming mastery of MultipleDemographicAppeal (which was most obvious and successful in ''Kenshin'', but applies to all his works). Despite being a {{shonen}} mangaka (and in fact one of ''Magazine/ShonenJump'''s steadiest contributors over the years), he deliberately attempts to place elements in his stories - or write entire ''stories'' flat out - that will appeal to other age and gender groups. While this doesn't ''always'' work, with ''Kenshin'' it created one of the anime juggernauts of the 90s, as the crossover appeal of the characters and story is what propelled it to national and ''inter''national fame. For his part, Watsuki attributes this to having read a decent amount of {{shojo}} as a lad, and realizing that "boys" and "girls" stories [[NotSoDifferent weren't necessarily all that different]]. This lesson seems to have rubbed off well on his students, too (see directly below).
The second thing he's famous for is something he isn't... ''directly'' involved in at all. Watsuki served as the teacher for a certain aspiring mangaka named Creator/EiichiroOda, and helped that young man solidify his art style and work ethic. Oda went on to create [[Manga/OnePiece a little manga that you may, potentially, have heard of]]. If Oda is the God of Shonen, then Watsuki may have to be called the Father-God of Shonen, as it's quite possible that Oda wouldn't have been able to get into the position he did to publish ''One Piece'' - or pick up the skills necessary to make it as good as it is - without first working for and learning from Watsuki.
Watsuki had a similar effect on Hiroyuki Takei of ''Manga/ShamanKing'' fame; Watsuki, Oda and Takei are said to maintain a close friendship to this very day.
The final thing he's being famous for is being a bit of a history nut (despite saying that creating historical manga is rather difficult). While he's never let historical fact [[RuleOfCool get completely in the way of a good story]], he often does get many of the [[BroadStrokes basic facts]] very, very right and many of his characters are based off of historical figures (Kenshin himself is based loosely on Kawakami Gensai, and Saito Hajime was lifted from history books almost wholesale). He's especially fond of the 19th century and the trappings therein, and has set most of his major works in that period.
While he was one of the true heavyweights of TheNineties, he's been somewhat overshadowed by his own students in recent years (although almost ''everyone'' stands in Oda's shadow these days, to some degree). ''Busou Renkin'' was decently well-received, but ''Gun Blaze West'' did rather poorly.
