A Mangaka has a cool career when compared to most of the other ones.They create their own world with their own characters.They work very hard to give the masterpiece inspite of sacrificing their sleep and health,but inspite of doing so,they are not rewarded with loads of money.

A Mangaka earns far less when compared to other professions in Japan.Determining who exactly is the richest,however can be a tricky question.

Let's look into the ranking of richest mangaka in Japan.

06.MASASHI KISHIMOTO(NARUTO AND BORUTO)

Mashashi Kishimoto is famous for his manga,Naruto.A few years after its ending,Boruto,followa the original Naruto characters' children.Naruto is one of the greatest selling manga franchises at about 250 million copies.Despite the impressive success of his series,Kishimoto is beleived to have a net wotrh between $20 to $25 million.

05.YOSHIHIRO TOGASHI(HUNTER X HUNTER)

Yoshihiro Togashi's Hunter x Hunter follows Gon Freecss, who discovers his father is a famous hunter. The series is very popular today — spawning a small media empire of its own — and is known for its unique artifacts, creatures, and much more. The manga has approached close to 80 million in sales.  A little before Hunter x Hunter, Togashi created another famous manga series: YuYu Hakusho. Drawing on his love of the occult and horror movies like The Grudge, YuYu Hakusho takes a darker turn. However, it's primarily a light-hearted, foundational shonen series. With these two manga under his belt, Togashi's net worth is estimated to be about $25 million.

04.HAJIME ISAYAMA(ATTACK ON TITAN)

                                          

Attack on Titan's creator, Hajime Isayama, doesn't only draw giants. He also has an equally massive set of royalties to fall back on.  The anime follows a society menaced by gigantic humanoids called "Titans." Over the years, Attack on Titan has become extremely popular, so popular it has achieved sales of over 100 million volumes. Isayama's net worth is estimated to be about $45 to $50 million.

03.GOSHO AOYAMA(DETECTIVE CONAN)

Gosho Aoyama is the mind behind the hugely popular Case Closed, sometimes known as Detective Conan. The manga follows a de-aged detective solving mysteries while dealing with elementary school. The manga has sold about 230 million volumes, although the count is likely much higher.The protagonist, Conan Edogawa, has garnered worldwide attention since the anime series' airing. Conan O'Brien, a famous American comic and TV host, even acknowledged the child detective on his show. Aoyama is said to be worth about $50 million. This level of success is certainly not kid's stuff.

02. AKIRA TORIYAMA(DRAGON BALL)

Calling Akira Toriyama one of the most influential mangaka in Japan would be an understatement. With sales of his vast Dragon Ball series climbing to 300 million volumes, Toriyama is undoubtedly a titan in the manga industry. Toriyama also created Dragon Ball Z, one of the most enormous crossover hits. This sequel formally introduced manga to the western hemisphere.  This isn't Toriyama's only source of income. He's mainly responsible for the character designs of the massive Dragon Quest video game series. Despite his incredible impact and influence, Toriyama's estimated net worth is between $45 to $50 million. This seems very low considering this is the creator of Dragon Ball. Unfortunately, creators aren't often paid what they're worth.

01.EIICHIRO ODA(ONE PIECE)

It's no surprise Eiichiro Oda, the creator behind the greatest-selling manga of all time, One Piece, is also the wealthiest mangaka in the industry. Since the Straw Hat Pirates' introduction in 1997, the series has sold well over 500 million tankōbon volumes, about 200 million more than Dragon Ball's sales. In two decades, One Piece has become an absolutely insane juggernaut of a franchise.  Many net worth calculations put Eiichiro Oda in the $200 million range, while some estimates climbing as high as $230 million. This makes Eiichiro Oda not only the wealthiest mangaka working today but also in history.
