Reki Taki (滝 れーき, Taki Rēki) is a Japanese manga artist credited for his work on the TV adaptation of Stardust Crusaders, Diamond is Unbreakable, Golden Wind, and Stone Ocean by David Production. He was one of Hirohiko Araki's assistants during Battle Tendency and Stardust Crusaders.[3]

Biography

Reki Taki became an assistant of Araki when he was 20 years old in around April 1988, when Chapter 66 released.[4] He was already interested in joining the industry and primarily became motivated after seeing the way Araki draws his backgrounds. However, he had difficulty doing his tasks when he just started and was often scolded by Araki.

After one year and three months, he resigned from being an assistant. By sheer coincidence over two decades later, he got involved with JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders. From then on, he has been employed to work in the following anime seasons and the Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan OVA, primarily as a background artist.[5]

Taki's profession consists primarily of drawing dojinshi, particularly Japanese Adult comics. Co-produced alongside his partner Hirohisa Onikubo (previously Araki's chief assistant), the two distribute dojinshi to various outlets.
