Is Dwun (Wdwune) based on Yoshihiro Togashi? In Hunter × Hunter (2011, not sure about 1999), there is a character named Dwun (pictured below, red shirt) who appears in the Greed Island arc.



Today, I was exposed to this image of Yoshihiro Togashi, the Hunter × Hunter mangaka (from this much larger image):



I couldn't help but notice some remarkable similarities: The TV and games, the lack of a chair, his hairstyle, and clearly, the gargantuan mess of garbage.

Is this character, Dwun, based on Yoshihiro Togashi himself?
There is a high likely hood that this is indeed a reference to Yoshihiro Togashi playing dragon quest. But it has never really been confirmed. 

It seems the original picture comes from CapsuleComputers with the following quote.


  After a long an arduous battle with addiction, Yoshihiro Togashi, the man behind the popular manga series Hunter x Hunter has finally checked out of a Dragon Quest rehabilitation facility and has made clear that he plans to resume his Hunter x Hunter manga after more than a year on hiatus.
