Megatokyo is a webcomic created by Fred Gallagher and Rodney Caston, first released on August 14, 2000, as of July 17, 2002 written and illustrated solely by Gallagher. The style of its writing and illustrations is heavily influenced by Japanese manga. Megatokyo ranks among the most popular webcomics, and is the best selling original English-language manga. Megatokyo's title is derived from the name of its Internet domain, which hosted a short-lived gaming news site maintained by Caston before the comic's creation. The comic's title is rendered as "メガトーキョー" on its website, books, and some merchandise.
