From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yudetamago (ゆでたまご, literally Boiled Egg) is a Japanese writing team consisting of story writer Takashi Shimada and artist Yoshinori Nakai. They are best known for the popular mangas Kinnikuman, Kinnikuman: Nisei (Ultimate Muscle), and Tatakae!! Ramenman. Yudetamago met while in school, and has maintained their friendship to the present day. Many English speaking fans abbreviate Yudetamago as "Yude" while discussing the different peculiarities of the duo.
