Yuyuko Takemiya (竹宮 ゆゆこ, Takemiya Yuyuko, born February 24, 1978) is a Japanese writer of light novels, novels, and manga.

Biography[edit]

Takemiya debuted in September 2004 with her light novel series Watashitachi no Tamura-kun (Our Tamura-kun) which first appeared in the autumn 2004 issue of Dengeki hp Special, a special edition version of Dengeki hp. That same month, Takemiya worked on the scenario for the bishōjo game Noel by FlyingShine (also known for creating Cross Channel). Following the completion of Watashitachi no Tamura-kun, Takemiya began her best-known series, Toradora!,[1] which she declared to be complete in April 2010 after ten volumes and three spin-off books. The first book of her next series, Golden Time, was Dengeki Bunko's 2000th published light novel.[2] Takemiya launched the manga series Evergreen with artist Akira Caskabe on July 19, 2011 in ASCII Media Works' Dengeki Daioh Genesis quarterly magazine.[3]
