After graduating from high school, Sanbe moved to
Tokyo to study background art production at the Tokyo Designer Gakuin College. He cites
Lupin the Third's
The Castle of Cagliostro as the driving force behind his enrollment and overall interest in drawing background art. He made his debut in the game magazine
Dengeki Adventures. During his time in school, Sanbe came across a job listing in
Weekly Shōnen Jump from
Hirohiko Araki, requesting for new assistants. While not particularly a fan of the ''
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' series, its variety of backgrounds and foreign settings enticed him to submit an application. After applying twice, Sanbe was accepted into Araki's team around the time of
Battle Tendency's serialization and was eventually promoted to chief assistant. He would go on to work for Araki for a total of eight years before leaving halfway through
Golden Wind to pursue his own career as a manga artist. When
Testarotho,
Kamiyadori, and
Erased were published in
tankōbon form, Araki gave his endorsement on the
obi. == Works ==
