Isekai Reincarnation Manga Encyclopedia #Real-Life Figures Edition

For the past ten years or so, isekai reincarnation manga have been popular. The pattern involves being hit by a truck, reincarnating in another world, gaining cheat skills, and becoming invincible.
By slightly modifying this template, changing the approach, and varying the style, the genre has been subdivided, and new manga are being born one after another. Several works are adapted into anime every season, and the momentum shows no signs of slowing down.

This time, I will introduce manga where real-life figures from the actual world have reincarnated into another world.

Hiroyuki

Hiroyuki reincarnating—what's the point? You might think that, but he doesn't acquire any special skills and remains as he is in the real world, defeating monsters just by winning arguments is the development. It's novel that he breaks the enemy's spirit with psychological attacks rather than physical ones. Two works have even been released by different publishers!

Hiromitsu Ochiai

Officially licensed by the Chunichi Dragons, Triple Crown winner Ochiai reincarnates into another world and becomes invincible with just a baseball bat?

Gon Nakayama

Next is soccer. Retired Masashi Nakayama is reminiscing about his active days when he gets hit by a truck and reincarnates into the world of the manga "Shoot!". Can he beat the Kakegawa High School manga characters who use special moves?

Putin

A figure resembling Russian President Putin reincarnates. Since he is set as a master of martial arts and combat, he is strong even as he is, and he rides wyverns and centaurs.

Marx

The socialist Marx gives lectures in another world. It's basically a 4-panel manga with a comical art style, so even difficult topics are easy to read and funny.

Osamu Dazai

Having tried to commit double suicide with his mistress, Osamu Dazai is reborn in another world. However, he refuses to become a hero and tries to die in that world as well. He wanders around, hoping to find his estranged mistress and commit double suicide with her again.

Zhuge Liang

A story that has been adapted into an anime and a live-action movie, where Zhuge Liang from the Three Kingdoms reincarnates into modern-day Japan. He uses his signature strategies to make an unknown singer a big star.

Sachiko Kobayashi

Japan's final boss Sachiko Kobayashi descends as the final boss in another world too lol. She becomes invincible with the power of her singing.

Ken Matsudaira

Ken Matsudaira wields a Japanese sword and cuts down monsters with his special move, Matsuken Samba!

Kuro-chan

Kuro-chan of Yasuda Dai Circus dies of food poisoning after eating oden and is reincarnated. He has no special abilities, but since he has high defensive resistance, he recruits companions and sets off on an adventure.

Wareware da!

A manga based on "Isekai no Shuyaku wa Wareware da!", which was also adapted into a game. Members of the game streaming group "Wareware da!" appear as themselves.

Fischer's

The YouTuber group with over 8 million subscribers, Fischer's, is reincarnated into the world of the ONE PIECE manga. I'm so jealous.

Van Gogh and Picasso

Medieval painters are reincarnated into a Japanese art college. They try putting their work up for auction, but it only sells for 2,000 yen, proving that making a living through painting is difficult. They decide to attend lectures in the manga department and aim to become manga artists.
The differences in culture and customs create a gap that generates humor. It's very typical of Morning magazine. It's like the second coming of Saint Young Men.

Reincarnation stories featuring celebrities are for those who want to laugh at settings that are a bit more twisted than the standard tropes. I will add more if new titles are released.
