Congratulations on your 40th anniversary!!!! ㊗️
New Yoshihiro Togashi drawing displayed at the HOKUTO NO KEN (Fist of the North Star) 40th Anniversary Exhibition that is currently taking place in Tokyo, at the Mori Arts Center Gallery (same place of the Yoshihiro Togashi Exhibition - Puzzle).
The illustration shows Kenshiro, the protagonist of the Fist of the North Star manga series, saying "Congratulationssss" (祝ううううう), and our dear Gon from Hunter x Hunter saying "Hidebu" (ひでぶ).
"Hidebu" is a made-up word by Testuo Hara, according to him:
"Hidebu!" is actually supposed to be a modification of the Japanese phrase "ittai desu" ("it hurts!"), but since the villains are in the process of exploding, the vocal sounds are shifted.
Some weeks ago, Togashi also visited his family's paper shop (冨樫紙店) in his hometown Shinjo, Yamagata Prefecture, and left this signed illustration of Gon, Killua, Kurapika and Leorio.

The painting is dated September 20th, 2023, and says: "Thank you for the signatures and warm messages!!". Those who visit the paper shop can sign and leave a message in the visitor guestbook.
The paper shop is now run by his younger brother Hideaki Togashi, a very talkative person who was also a mangaka. Unfortunately, their mother passed away a few months ago. Those who had the chance to meet her, says she was a wonderful and kind person.
