Noriaki Kubo (久保 宣章 Kubo Noriaki?, born June 26, 1977), known by his pen name Tite Kubo (久保 帯人 Kubo Taito?), is a Japanese manga artist. His most significant work is the manga series Bleach. 
Tite Kubo’s earliest influence is from Shigeru Mizuki’s manga Gegege no Kitaro. He remembers trying to sketch its characters and found his own designs to be simpler that of Mizuki’s. Bleachwas first conceived from a desire on Kubo’s part to draw shinigami in kimono, which formed the basis for the design of the Shinigami in the series, and conception of the character Rukia Kuchiki. Kubo has cited influences for elements of Bleach ranging from other manga series to music, foreign language, architecture, and film. He attributes his interest in drawing the supernatural and monsters to Shigeru Mizuki’s GeGeGe no Kitaro and Bleach‘s focus on interesting weaponry and battle scenes to Masami Kurumada’s Saint Seiya, both manga Kubo enjoyed as a boy. The action style and storytelling found in Bleach is inspired by cinema, though Kubo has not revealed any specific movie as being an influence for fight scenes. When pressed, he told interviewers that he liked Snatch but did not use it as a model. Kubo has also stated that he wishes to make Bleach an experience that can only be found by reading manga, and dismissed ideas of creating any live-action film adaptations of the series. 
In the making of battle scenes, Kubo’s comments that he imagines the fights with the empty backgrounds and then he tries to find the best angle to make it. Then, he tries to make the injuries look very realistic in order to make the readers feel the character’s pain. Kubo mentions he sometimes is bored while illustrating them, so he tries to add a few jokes to make it more humorous. 
When creating characters, Kubo first attempts to create the design and later decide how the character’s personality will be according to what he drew. Since creating them like this, Kubo considers every character to be unique and wants each of them to be developed along the series. When asked about romantic relationships between certain characters, Kubo answers saying that he does not want to turn the series into a love story since he thinks there are more exciting aspects concerning their personalities. Other characters from the series also use different languages to describe their terms. The powers from the Quincy are taken from German, while Hollows and arrancar creatures instead use Spanish terms. Kubo became interested in Spanish because, to him, the language sounded “bewitching” and “mellow”
