Are Saiki and Teruhashi based off Asō-sensei and Furukawa-san?
This post will make you know more about Asou-sensei and Furukawa-san, and perhaps about Japanese manga characters. Sorry some information you might have seen it already.
How mangaka based off their characters?
1 appearance
When people saw Asō-sensei, he got comments saying he looked like Saiki Kusuo. The same as Nishizawa, the author of 5mm (西沢5ミリ、Nishizawa 5miri).
「こちらの写真の一番左に映ってるメガネの方が麻生周一先生になります。
どことなく斉木楠雄に似ているような…..」
→The person with glasses on the far left in this picture is Asō Shūichi sensei.
He looks somewhat like Saiki Kusuo......
Ps. I have never read 5mm, but this went viral, So I knew about it.

Some other characters that resemble the real people. The author of one piece, Oda-sensei, had confirmed some of these.
2 characters based on personality or anything else besides appearance.
This´s quite difficult. The author has to admit it or you must really know that character.
The author of Berserk did give an interview in 1996.
“For the relationship between Guts and Griffith, I'm using myself and my close friend and fellow manga artist Koji Mori (Suicide Island, etc.) as a model. Which one of us is Guts and which is Griffith switches from time to time, but I think it serves as a symbol of male friendship. Guts' friends in the Band of [the Falcon] are actually based on my friends from college. But if it's about Guts' personality or his belief... I guess some of it comes from myself.”

NBA players were the model for the characters in slam dunk. I'm not into sports, but many redditors had theories about these because they knew about different styles of play in basketball. A Japanese blogger said that the author of slam dunk did not admit or deny when he was asked if slam dunk characters were from NBA players. That means there is no right or wrong answer. The author said the readers could imagine who was the model. But the blogger said its not true because he watched NBA for a long time and he had theories to prove that.

Is teruhashi based on the author's wife Furukawa-san or is she a model for teruhashi? (Whatever the correct word is, sorry 😢 ).
We knew from the last two posts that the author started basing teruhashi on his wife after they met in 2014. The author made Teruhashi loves one, have a fan club and be able to sing from 2014.
When the author drew someone else as kokomi, Furukawa-san tweeted right away.
In 2016, his wife tweeted 「おっふしてもいいんだからね!」 → it´s okay (if you’re going) to offu!
To prove that she´s the real kokomi.
In 2018, his wife tweeted
「斉木楠雄のΨ難、麻生先生描き下ろしジャケ!
照橋さん枠はえいたそだったのか、、、!
けるくんも可愛く描いてくれています。サイズ感ぴったり!どんどんメディア進出! 麻生先生!ありがとうございます!!すてき!!」
“The CD jacket newly drawn by Asō-sensei, the author of “The Disastrous Life of Saiki K”!
Teruhashi-san's quota (yellow frame) was Eitaso (nickname of Eimi), huh?
It has a cute drawing of Keru-kun (her pet) too. The size is perfect! More and more media coverage! Asō-sensei! Thank you!! It's so nice!!”
And then Furukawa-san tweeted again with excuses that Eitaso wasn´t teruhashi because….
いや、えいたそ=後光 → No, Eitaso = Halo, aureole
照橋さん=オーラ → Teruhashi-san = Aura
だからちとものが違うか、、、→ so maybe it’s a bit different...
Well, Furukawa-san thought she was Teruhashi and couldn't stand if someone else was Teruhashi. There must be something in Saiki k that made her believe/sure about it. It's between the author and Furukawa-san. The question about Furukawa-san is Teruhashi. She has already given the answer!
Think why the author made Kokomi have fan club and kusuo a tsundere in 2014? Coincidences? Why did his wife have so much confidence about she’s Kokomi? Why didn't the author do that in the beginning of Saiki k? Why started basing them in 2014 the year he met his wife?
Is Saiki based on the author or is he a model for him? After the author met his wife in 2014, Saiki admitted that he is a tsundere.
Q: Is the author a tsundere?
I would like you to find out what a tsundere is on the internet. So you will understand more about it.
Nendō pet is based on/kind of like Furukawa-san's pet because keru-kun uses her hand as a toilet.

the author said 「りさ推しよりの箱推しです!今日はライブです!」→My Oshi is the whole group, even though I prefer Risa a little more! Today is the live concert!
ps. Ppl/fans who don’t know him in person thought Aso-sensei liked Risa-san until they announced that they gonna get married.
Here are some comments
もっとも麻生さん本人は、15年の時点ではツイッターで、「りさ推しよりの箱推しです!」と投稿しているなど、メンバーの中では古川さんより相沢梨紗さんの方が「推し」だったようである。これもでんぱ組.incのファンには知られており、
→ However, Aso himself seemed to have his “Oshi” as Risa than for Furukawa-san, as he posted on Twitter in 2015, “My Oshi is the whole group, even though I prefer Risa a little!” This is also known to fans of Denmagumi.inc,
「推しアイドルと結婚相手って別なんだろうね」 → “I guess the Oshi idol and the person you're marrying are two different things.”
「麻生先生チケ代払ってでもでんぱガチガチで遠征してるヲタクで相沢梨紗推しのはずがまさかのみりんちゃんと結婚」
→“Asou-sensei, an otaku who pays for tickets and goes to meet Dempa in far places. I thought he had an Oshi as Risa, but surprise surprise, he’s married to Mirin-chan.”
「麻生先生でんぱ組好きって言ってて結婚はすげぇな 推しとは違ったらしいけど」
→“I knew that Asou-sensei liked Dempagumi, but marriage is surprising. But looks like the partner wasn’t his Oshi.”
と、むしろ推しメンバーと結婚相手に分別をつけた選択として、好意的に受け止められている様子だ。
→Rather, this seems to be favorably received as a sensible choice between an Oshi member and a marriage partner.

If I were Furukawa-san and read these comments….. I felt hurt. There were some comments on x (twitter) saying that Aso-sensei likes Risa-chan or his oshi was Risa-chan from 2015-2019 (her first response to the author was in 2016). As a woman, I read comments that say my boyfriend likes my friend. Did people think I stole him from my friend or my friend rejected him so he chose me and ended up marrying me. Was I his second choice??? No wonder Furukawa-san couldn't accept when someone else was kokomi.
However, colleagues confirmed their relationship No. 3&4.
2. In 2018, the marriage purpose. No. 3 「でんぱぐみのだれかと(けっこん)」 → (Marry) someone in Dempagumi(.inc). The word “marry” was coverd by Nendou´s hand.
P.S. If anyone thinks it's a word other than the word marry …hmmm. That person doesn't understand Japanese in context (that chapter).
3. His assistant, Mitsuhara-san mentioned that Furukawa´s his favorite member and Asou-sensei replied his comment (without denying it) saying
「わー!忙しいのにわざわざ漫画まで描いてくれてありがとー!!あれはそういう策略だったのか…w」
→ Wow! Thanks for drawing all those manga even though you're so busy! (Now I know) what kind of strategy was that...lol
(You can read his manga in English at the end of this post)
What Asō-sensei did to Furukawa-san
Didn´t say his feeling to Furukawa-san. He said he preferred Risa. But his coworker, Mitsuhara-san said Furukawa was his favourite member. Asou-sensei attended dempagumi.inc activities/events, but he wanna leave after he talked to his wife for a word or two. At first I thought their relationship had to be a secret. he could write about Risa-san but Furukawa-san. <(ꐦㅍ _ㅍ)> ……… tsundere.
Did tease his wife by drawing someone else as Teruhashi. He drew dempagumi.inc only 2 pics and teased his wife both of them. Aso-sensei drew Furukawa-san with arms crossed. ʱªʱªʱª (ᕑᗢूᓫ∗)
Source: the same link as above (telling that he drew Dempagumi two pics) https://www.j-cast.com/2019/09/19367999.html?p=all
Didn´t write the word “marry” in a marriage proposal. I wondered when I read it, but now everything is resolved. What a tsundere! Finally, he grouped his wife with Teruhashi even though he wrote the word "someone" on no. 3 instead of Furukawa-san (because of idol status). However, it’s really sweet of him to do it in anime and it will stay forever.
4. His coworker, 大石浩二、Ōishi-san (mangaka) who works at Shonen Jump+ said
麻生先生&みりんちゃん結婚おめでとうございます。前から知ってはいましたが、未だにえっマジで!!?なんだその漫画みたいな展開!!って思ってます。みりんちゃんのハートにBダッシュした麻生先生。末永くお幸せに🎊
Congratulations to Asō-sensei & Mirin-chan on their marriage. I've known about it for a while, but I'm still thinking "What Really!!? What a manga-like development!!” Aso-sensei made a B-dash into Mirin-chan's heart. I wish you a long and happy life🎊.
However, Ōishi-san compared them to a manga. What manga? Did he mean Saiki k manga? I don't know much information about Aso-sensei and Furukawa-san compare to Oishi-san, but I knew Asō-sensei is an otaku and his wife is an idol. So I think otaku & idol. That's why the author did a self-insert to Saiki k manga. Plus, he did mentioned himself (as an otaku) made his favorite idol sang the theme songs in 2016 (chapter 234).
When they were in a relationship in 2016, The author asked their friends, family and co-worker for the vote (to make Saiteru got 1&2 place) because they (ppl who knows him) knew about Furukawa-san. He wanted their votes instead of votes from readers. Who the hell didn't know that he's saiteru?
It doesn’t matter how long you know Saiki k. If I ask my brother (who is really into manga/anime for his whole life; otaku and taught me about manga; publisher and author’s hints) to read it, he knows right away Teruhashi is favored by god/author and terusai ends up together because of author’s hints and at the end of story.
To answer the question of if the author based on Saiki or using him as a model.
- In terms of appearance, I'm not the only one who thinks the author looks like Saiki.
- For the personality, what he did to Furukawa-san (2015-2018), the author’s a tsundere to me.
My point with this post is that it´s not strange or stupid that the manga creators/mangaka use the real people as models for their characters in the manga or based on themselves. It doesn't mean that characters are 100% like the authors, and have to be a warrior like Guts from Berserk. The author said “Guts' personality or his beliefs... I guess some of that comes from myself.” So did Asō sensei and Saiki about tsundere.
I hope this post will make you understand about mangaka and their characters. Thank you. ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡
Wanne read about how Asō sensei became a big fan (otaku) of Dempagumi.inc. Read below.
This message below is for someone who claimed to be asō-sensei number 1 fan and posted about me. The rest of you please ignore this.
I hope you get to know the author better and find it interesting, rather than saying misinformation without sources and lying to others because you have no knowledge and no information about manga. Real people are models for/based on manga characters existed before you were even born. Shocking? This has never happened before. Still think this information isn´t credible? And want the the author to admit or deny that he and his wife based on Saiki and Teruhashi. Good luck with that, a tsundere like him who never told/said Furukawa-san his feelings online (direct way) until they announced their marriage. He isn't a criminal he has to accept or refuse this if he doesn't want to. The author never said about it, but it doesn’t mean his wife and coworkers wouldn’t say anything. I’d rather believe his wife and coworker than you. The one who knows nothing about the author is you. How could you claim to be a big fan of the author? You believe info from his wife and coworkers were not good enough. You don’t even listen and respect his wife and coworkers. On top of that you spread this´s misinfo, don’t you feel ashamed at all. Next time, please find info by yourself before accusing others, so you can learn about Japanese or practice your Japanese language. Didn’t you say so?
I asked you about did you read what Japanese people said about him and what his wife said, but you avoided to answer it for 3 days because you couldn’t answer it. Then meow’s blog who also believed you deleted my comments. I wonder why they believed you without sources. Because you claimed to be a fan of the author? Anyways, your comment about “nope 1. misinfo 2. hella fucking weird compare these two.” was delete after I posted this. Did you delete it? Huh?
I thought I did make it clear about last two post and I thought I didn’t need to write more about it. This story seems so exaggerate and hard to believe. So some people think they know about the author and think it´s misinfo. Please don’t judge Japanese manga with your different background/culture, but try to understand it. You asked for souces, I gave you. Where are your sources saying misinfo, or you are full of bias? Huh?
