Yukimura considered himself a laidback child at school. His first manga was Akira Toriyama's Dr. Slump at 5 and was particularly impressed by the cover. He then watched the anime much to his surprise because he did not see the need of a story being repeated. When Yukimura became 16, he had the idea of becoming a manga author. During his early life, Yukimura was nearly killed in two car accidents. This made him reconsider his way of thinking. He believes he had no social life and barely paid attention to classes in his childhood. The only thing he wrote in his notebook was manga. He graduated from Chuo University and Suginami High School. In contrast to other students, Yukimura faced no hardships in graduating and recalls having brief anxiety. Yukimura's crisis with school and lack of interest with his growth and jobs worried his parents. However, Yukimura's school life changed when being taught by a literature teacher who used Michael Ende famous for The Never Ending Story in a class.

He has been drawing manga since he was four years old, and for most of his professional career has created two series simultaneously.

Urasawa's first major work was illustrating the action series Pineapple Army (1985–1988), which was written by Kazuya Kudo. The first serial that he wrote and illustrated himself, and his first major success, was the sports manga Yawara! (1986–1993). He then illustrated the adventure series Master Keaton (1988–1994), which was written by Hokusei Katsushika and Nagasaki, and created the sports manga Happy! (1993–1999).

Following the acclaimed Pluto (2003–2009), which is a re-imagining of Astro Boy by Osamu Tezuka, one of Urasawa's biggest influences, he and Nagasaki created the mystery series Billy Bat (2008–2016). After two short series, a sequel to Master Keaton with Nagasaki and Mujirushi: The Sign of Dreams, Urasawa began his currently ongoing Asadora! in 2018.

L'ero guro nansensu, fréquemment écourté ero guro (エログロ, ero-guro) est un mouvement artistique et littéraire japonais apparu vers 1930, combinant l'érotisme à des éléments macabres et grotesques dont la paternité est attribuée à l'auteur Edogawa Ranpo avec des romans ou nouvelles comme La Bête aveugle, L'Île panorama, La Chenille ou La Chaise humaine.

Certains artistes de ce mouvement revendiquent cependant l'influence de Georges Bataille ou du marquis de Sade, ce qui démontre la dimension internationale du genre.

Le cinéma s'est emparé de ce mouvement, notamment les réalisateurs Noboru Tanaka, Shuji Terayama et Teruo Ishii.

En bande dessinée, l'œuvre de Suehiro Maruo, d'une poésie très crue influencée par Edogawa Ranpo, dont il a adapté La Chenille et L'Île Panorama, les mangas de Shintarō Kago, ainsi que certaines œuvres de Hideshi Hino appartiennent à ce courant.
