Yasuhiro Nightow (内藤 泰弘 Naitō Yasuhiro) is a Japanese mangaka and game creator who created the anime and manga Trigun. Nightow was born on April 8, 1967 in Yokohama, Japan. He moved to Yokosuka when he was in elementary school, and spent the junior high and high school years in Shizuoka. Before the release of the popular manga, Trigun, Nightow studied Roman Catholicism, and converted, while retaining many Buddhist principles[1]. Nightow has been a manga artist for about eleven years, and is recently popular in the US thanks to the US release of Trigun. Trigun, the TV series, had a limited broadcast run in 1998 yet proved to be quite popular. Yasuhiro reportedly enjoys toy collecting, nori (in all its forms), Krispy Kreme doughnuts, and abhors avocados.
Nightow also created the characters and story for the Sega/Red Entertainment anime and third-person shooter video game series Gungrave.
He attended Anime Expo in 2000, Otakon in 2002, ComicCon in 2005, and Anime Central, Sakura-Con, and Comic-Con in 2007.
