Creator of the ''[[A.I. Love You]]'', ''[[Love Hina]]'', ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' and ''[[UQ Holder!]]'' manga series. Also served as the writer for ''[[Mao-chan]]'', and did the lesser-known series ''[[Itsudatte My Santa!]]'' and ''[[Hito Natsu no Kids Game]]''.
Line 8:
Has a hot wife who [[Cosplay]]s, whom some of his lead female characters (prominently, [[Love Hina|Naru]]) are apparently inspired by. This has led to frequent jokes regarding the "research breaks" he took on ''Negima'' ([[Memetic Mutation|Akamatsu's wife demands]] '''[[Memetic Mutation|HIATUS]]''').
 
More recently, he's been working on the [http://www.animenewsnetwork.comcc//news/2011-04-11/j-comi/purify-file-shared-manga-with-authorized-ads J-Comi] project, working to make currently out-of-print manga available online at no charge, as well as finding ways to allow mangakas to actually make money off of fan translations, again at no cost to the reader.

* [[Genre Savvy]]: [http://www.animenewsnetwork.comcc//news/2011-04-11/j-comi/purify-file-shared-manga-with-authorized-ads Good god he is one in real life.]
* [[Give Geeks a Chance]]: His marriage gave hope to nerds everywhere...
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: ''Especially'' ''[[Negima]]'', which ''starts'' with about 35 characters and builds from there. It has the distinction of being the first series on the original [[TV Tropes]] wiki that broke its character page ''TWICE'' due to being so damn long, requiring a secondary page for the other main characters. And it ''still broke the page '''again'''''. Eventually, it was divided into '''7''' character pages.
