Kurumada's first work was "Otoko Raku" , which earned him an award in a manga contest for aspiring manga artist, and became assistant to professional manga artists. Some time later, he debuted as a professional manga artist in 1974 with his manga "Sukeban Arashi", and achieved his first hit three years later when he started writing and drawing "Ring ni Kakero", which brought him recognition as a popular manga author, and lasted five years, and he considers it his favorite creation. A practicer of the martial arts in his younger days, the influence this has exerted on his various works is worthy of mention.
