Score Entertainment has announced that it will include Rumiko Takahashi autograph cards in its Inuyasha TCG beginning with Yokai, the fourth set, which streets August 28th. Takahashi will sign stickers that will be placed on one-of-one cards, each of which will feature alternative art on a specially designed template.
Takahashi is one of the most prominent manga-ka in Japan and the creator of Ranma 1/2, Maison Ikkoku, and Mermaid Saga: Forest in addition to Inuyasha and other properties. Her signature has rarely been seen in Japan, and no other Takahashi-autographed product has ever been released in North America. Her appearance at the San Diego Comic-Con (including a signing at the Capital City Distribution booth) in the 90s caused a sensation, and her reputation and popularity have only increased since then.
