Biography
Shiozaki made his debut in Shueisha's Young Jump. After creating several series for Shueisha, including Karen (1997–1998), Happy Man (1999), and Nikkan Tachibana (2000) in seinen magazines aimed at businessmen, he left Shueisha in 1998 to create Ikki Tousen for Wani Books. With the success of Ikki Tousen, he has since published a variety of series for different publishers, including a version of Zoids called Zoids ZI (2002–2003), Battle Club (2004), and Frontier Roots (2004). The most successful of these has been Battle Club, which is noted for its extensive fan service (such as a female-bodied character that is actually a man), but his main project remains Ikki Tousen.
His stated hobbies include baseball, traveling abroad, and vegetable gardening.

Famous quotes containing the word biography:
“As we approached the log house,... the projecting ends of the logs lapping over each other irregularly several feet at the corners gave it a very rich and picturesque look, far removed from the meanness of weather-boards. It was a very spacious, low building, about eighty feet long, with many large apartments ... a style of architecture not described by Vitruvius, I suspect, though possibly hinted at in the biography of Orpheus.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Just how difficult it is to write biography can be reckoned by anybody who sits down and considers just how many people know the real truth about his or her love affairs.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“A biography is like a handshake down the years, that can become an arm-wrestle.”
—Richard Holmes (b. 1945)
