The account, named \"Kentaro Yabuki side,\" is intended for casual personal updates and hobby illustrations, separate from his official Shueisha-affiliated account \"Kentaro Yabuki Info.\" In his first post, he shared an illustration of Lala Satalin Deviluke from \"To LOVE-Ru.\" The post received over 50,000 likes as of May 29. A second illustration followed after Yabuki noticed a typo in his initial post: he had mistakenly written the official account's handle as \"@yabukiLinfo\" instead of \"@yabuki_info.\" To acknowledge the error, he posted a fan art of L from \"Death Note,\" the series by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata. His follower count reached 110,000 shortly after the account went live. Fans responded with enthusiasm, with comments praising the unexpected Death Note artwork and encouraging him to draw more characters from that series.","why_it_matters":"Yabuki's decision to maintain a separate personal account signals a deliberate boundary between his professional obligations to Shueisha and his desire to share casual, non-commercial artwork directly with fans.","published_at":"2026-05-29T05:45:35.000Z","source_count":2,"sources":["Inside","Anime Anime"],"citations":[{"source":"Inside","title":"Kentaro Yabuki Opens Personal X Account!
