Baki

Tetsuo Hara saluted Keisuke Itagaki at least twice in Weekly Shonen Champion, for his 20th career anniversary in 2010 and then for Baki's 30th anniversary in 2021.

Itagaki’s 20th career anniversary (2010)

Weekly Shonen Champion 2010 no. 17 (Akita Shoten), on sale on 25 March 2010, celebrated Keisuke Itagaki’s 20th career anniversary and the 200th chapter of Hanma Baki. Many artists sent a message and a drawing, including Takehiko Inoue, Rumiko Takahashi, Nobuyuki Fukumoto and Hideo Yamamoto. Hara, then drawing Soten no Ken in Comic Bunch, drew under the heading “祝20周年” a young long-haired fighter in a tank top, in profile, probably Baki.

The series’ 30th anniversary (2021)

Weekly Shonen Champion 2021 no. 44, on sale on 30 September 2021, celebrated the series’ 30th anniversary. This time Hara drew Kenshiro holding up three fingers, with the message “連載30周年!! おめでとうございます!”.
