All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream. - Edgar Allen Poe

Imagination rules the world. - Napoleon Bonaparte

All men are born with a nose and ten fingers, but no one was born with a knowledge of God. - Voltaire

For mangaka with multiple major works (ie. non-oneshots)
Urasawa Naoki
Asano Inio
Takahashi Tsutomu
Samura Hiroaki
Azuma Kiyohiko

On Par with those above:
Endo Hiroki --> I'm judging based only on his oneshots and Eden, so it's a bit premature to call him one of my favorites.

2. Matsumoto Taiyo - surreal aspect appealed to my interest in European comics.
3. Tsuge Yoshiharu - dreamlike storytelling, mindblowing imagery.
4. Ikegami Ryoichi - no-one does hard boiled pulp action better.
5. Igarashi Daisuke/Manabe Shohei (tied) - both very loose in their styles, different stuff.

Runners-up; Tezuka Osamu, Taniguchi Jiro, Oda Hideji, Kojima Goseki, Kuroda Iou.
