A rare public appearance by authors Yoshihiro Togashi and Naoko Takeuchi stirred up fans this weekend. The couple attended a cultural event in Kyoto and drew attention due to the healthy appearance of the author of Hunter x Hunter, who has been away for medical reasons.

Togashi and Takeuchi attended the Kyoto Nippon Festival 2026, held at the Kitano Tenmangu shrine. The couple were alongside photographer Mika Ninagawa, who is celebrating ten years of her artistic project with a floral exhibition open to the public until May.

Yoshihiro Togashi is a manga artist known for works such as Hunter x Hunter and Yu Yu Hakusho, both published in Weekly Shonen Jump. In recent years, he has struggled with chronic back pain, which has directly impacted the pace of his work's publication.
