"Keiji" is a popular manga based on the historical novel "Ichi-Mu-An Furyuki" by Keiichiro Ryu, with Hara as the manga artist and Mio Aso as the scriptwriter. The manga gained popularity by depicting the lives of unique individuals living in the turbulent Warring States period, when many warlords competed for power, with "the greatest kabuki actor in the world" Maeda Keiji at the center. A one-shot story was published in "Weekly Shonen Jump" (Shueisha) in 1989, and the series began in 1990. Arrangements and original episodes were added to suit the needs of boys' magazines, and the series continued until 1993.
