There is a document that contradicts the Hyogo Prefecture's claim that the former director admitted that the article was 'created from a collection of rumors.' On April 1, five days after the '100 lies' press conference, the former director sent a rebuttal to media outlets.

[Rebuttal paper]
'At the governor's recent press conference, which was conducted in a manner similar to a trial by default, he publicly declared my actions to be completely unfounded, with almost no evidence to support them, and made public statements that were completely different from the facts about my words and actions.'
'The governor himself admitted that he had created a list of things that never happened.'
'There is no evidence that I have admitted to this at all.'

There are four talented manga artists on 2ch, so they thought, 'Why not make a manga magazine on the VIP board?' and created Shintosha. And they've produced a lot of manga artists who are good enough to make anime. - Togetter

Gyu-tei Portal

'Shintosha' is an online manga posting site established in March 2005 by volunteers from the 'Newsoku VIP' board of the anonymous bulletin board '2channel.'

It has produced many future popular manga artists and can truly be called the 'digital Tokiwa-so of the Heisei era.'

There are too many manga artists being produced,
'What, this person was also from Shintosha?'
Because there are so many patterns like this, I have made a list of manga artists who graduated from Shintosha.

I'm sure there are still quite a few missing, so I'm looking for information. I'll update this list as new information becomes available.
