Kubo began creating manga during high school (in his school anime club) where he made his first series "Zombie Powder" during his third year. He submitted Zombie Powder to The Weekly Shonen Jump (Shonen Jump) but it was rejected. He was later contacted by Shonen Jump editors and managed to improve the series and got Zombie Powder published in Shonen Jump in 1999, but was stopped after 4 books due to unpopularity and high sexual content. He did manage to make some short stories as well which are featured in the back of the Zombie Powder volumes. The titles are: Ultra Unholy Hearted Machine, Rune Master Urara, and Bad Shield United.


When Kubo started the series Bleach it was sadly rejected as well. This was due to its similarities to the series Yu Yu Hakusho by Yoshihiro Togashi. Times got very depressing for Kubo at this point until he receive a letter of encouragement from Akira Toriyama, the creator of the hit series Dragon Ball. It was then that Kubo found renewed hope and in 2002 Bleach was finally published and began serialization in Shonen Jump. The manga has risen to the tops of the charts and is now known worldwide. This lead to the production of the anime series, which is now over 90 episodes long! Kubo says he will not release a live action version of Bleach because it was meant to be manga and anime, and nothing more. Surprisingly, he draws all of the character designs for the anime series instead of letting his editors and workers do the job. Bleach's popularity has been skyrocketing, and shows no signs of slowing down.
