Yoshiyuki Nishi

Yoshiyuki Nishi, born December 27, 1976, in Hachioji, Tokyo, is a Japanese manga artist best known for creating *Muhyo and Roji's Bureau of Supernatural Investigation*. He began his career as an assistant to the celebrated artist Takeshi Obata, a formative experience that honed his clean, expressive style. Nishi’s own breakthrough came with *Muhyo and Roji’s Bureau of Supernatural Investigation*, a supernatural action-comedy series that ran from 2004 to 2008, blending occult law with buddy dynamics. As both writer and artist, Nishi crafted a distinctive world of magical judges and spirit-crime enforcement, earning a dedicated readership. His work is noted for its detailed character designs and inventive panel layouts. Nishi’s catalog in the West includes 12 issues credited to him between 2007 and 2010, primarily for the *Muhyo & Roji* series. He has not received major industry awards but remains respected for his contribution to the supernatural manga genre. After the series concluded, Nishi stepped back from the spotlight, with no major new works widely released in English. His legacy endures through the continued popularity of *Muhyo and Roji*, which later inspired an anime adaptation and a sequel series, solidifying his place in early-2000s shonen manga.
