So why isn't this guy drawing everything forever?

Hidetsugu Yoshioka (吉岡英嗣 Yoshioka Hidetsugu) is a Japanese illustrator. He has produced various pieces of Transformers artwork for Takara since the late 80s and has worked steadily for the line in all its incarnations ever since, continuing to produce mini-comics and other promotional artwork to this day. Outside of Transformers, Yoshioka has also illustrated story pages and comics for Takara's incarnation of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lines: Super Mutant Turtles and Metal Mutant Turtles.

Yoshioka's style is heavily influenced by American comic book art. Beginning with Generation 2, Yoshioka adapted his style to mimic that of Derek Yaniger; a style he continues to use and has since become his visual trademark. Further strengthening his bond with American comics, the majority of his pack-in comics, despite being released exclusively in Japan, read from left to right like a Western comic.
