Yusuke Murata

Yusuke Murata (村田 雄介), credited as "Yuhsuke Murata" in Mega Man 3 and "Yuusuke Murata" in Mega Man 4 and 5, is a Japanese manga artist best known for being the illustrator of the manga Eyeshield 21 and One-Punch Man.

Murata is a fan of Kinu Nishimura, the character designer of many Capcom video games, and Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball, which influenced his carrier. When he was young, he entered the Mega Man boss character contests and won twice, his submissions resulting in Dust Man from Mega Man 4 and Crystal Man from Mega Man 5. He also participated in the Mega Man 3 contest, and although his submission, Double Man, didn't won, he was listed in the special thanks from the game's credits alongside other participants that sent a "fine work".

Years later, Murata worked as an illustrator for some Mega Man content a few times, creating an illustration for the Capcom Heroes Calendar 2012, a promotional Battle Memory for Rockman Xover in 2013, and a wallpaper for the Rockman Unity app in 2018.
