Takehiko Inuoe is the Japanese artist and the creator of the popular Basketball anime, Slam Dunk. He draws himself as a Slam Dunk character called Dr. T, which looks like a little boy wearing a red cap, who appears once in a while in every episode to teach and inform us Basketball terms and statistics. You can usually see Dr. T's appearance in the anime during Shohoku's Basketball practices and official games.
Other than his popular Slam Dunk, Inuoe Takehiko also has another manga based on basketball called Buzzbeater.
Unfortunately, until now, there is still no Slam Dunk 2. Asked upon if he would make a Slam Dunk 2, this:
"I'm waiting for the desire to draw it to come naturally from within me. Since it won't be because somebody is making me do it, but because I want to enjoy drawing it myself, when the time comes for me to deal with those feelings, there will probably be a #2." - Mr. Inoue (NHK TV's "Top Runner" on 6/15/2000)
