Born in 1971, Nihei made his debut in the comics world as the winner of the 1995 Afternoon Magazine Four Seasons Award for short stories. He then briefly worked as an assistant to veteran comicker Tsutomu Takahashi before making his break-through hit \u003ci\u003eBLAME!\u003c\/i\u003e (published by Tokyopop).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eBLAME!\u003c\/i\u003e franchise was so well received worldwide, that it inspired an animated mini-series and eventually drew the attention of Marvel Comics in the US.
