Takeshi Konomi (許斐 剛, Konomi Takeshi, born June 26, 1970) is a Japanese manga artist, known for creating the manga series The Prince of Tennis.

On February 25, 2023, it was reported Konomi is unable to walk and has to use a wheelchair.[1] As of June 2023, Konomi seems to have recovered as he states he was able to attend Tenipuri Festa from the audience and posts a photo of him standing without assistance.[2]

Financial standing

[edit]

Every year the National Tax Agency releases a list of the highest income tax payers for entertainers in Japan. The higher someone's income tax, the higher their actual presumed earnings; however it is possible for a person to have paid more taxes than another person who made more money. Takeshi Konomi placed number nine on this list in 2002.[3] On January 15, 2014, Takeshi announced that he would return to Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine.[4]
