He has been a childhood friend since kindergarten of Fumiaki Tatesako, who was in charge of the manga adaptation of Gyōten Ningen Batseelor.[3] He is known for his friendship with many manga artists who have serialized their works in Weekly Shōnen Sunday, including Katsutoshi Kawai, Kōji Kumeta, Takashi Shiina, and Kazuhiro Fujita, and is also a friend of voice actor Tomokazu Seki.
