Yusuke Murata

No, they are two different creators. ONE wrote the original One-Punch Man webcomic, and Yusuke Murata is the artist who redrew it panel by panel into the detailed, dynamic artwork that later became the basis for the anime series.

Murata's One-Punch Man pages are praised for their cinematic movement and detailed fight choreography, a quality often traced back to his earlier work as an animator. He is credited with turning a simple gag concept into a visual showcase that helped carry the story into an anime adaptation.

Before working on One-Punch Man, Murata made his name illustrating Eyeshield 21, a manga about American football written by Riichiro Inagaki. It ran in Weekly Shonen Jump from 2002 to 2009 and later got its own anime series.

Murata's version of One-Punch Man is published online through Weekly Young Jump. That serialization is separate from ONE's original webcomic, which is what Murata redraws into the manga's finished pages.

Yusuke Murata is a Japanese manga artist born in 1978 who illustrates One-Punch Man, redrawing writer ONE's original webcomic into the detailed artwork used in its print and digital release. Before that, he built his reputation as the artist on Eyeshield 21, a football manga that ran from 2002 to 2009.
