Reki Taki

Reki Taki (滝 れーき) is a Japanese 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.

Biography
Reki Taki became an assistant of Araki when he was 20 years old in 1988. 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 years 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.

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