Before going pro (and sometimes even afterwards), Tachibana-sensei did a lot of doujinshi, or fan-produced comics using existing characters created by someone else. She seems to have mainly done doujinshi based on Samurai Troopers (called Ronin Warriors on US TV) and used the pen name "Nanri Iri" (ΤΤ) (I may be mangling the romanization of that...) and I have also seen her listed under the name 'Date Kaimu' (Date being the last name of one of the Samurai Troopers) and producing doujinshi as part of the "Laim Company" doujinshi circle. It's a pretty safe bet to say that 'Tachibana Kaimu' isn't her real name either. Who is she really? I don't really know ^_^; But her artwork is consistently beautiful and easy to recognize! Tachibana-sensei has done doujinshi for other series as well, including Gundam Wing and Angelique.

Below are some little drawings Tachibana-sensei does for the 'about the author' section of her manga volumes. See her many different looks! :)
