Shigeru Mura (Japanese: 武良 茂, Hepburn: Mura Shigeru, March 8, 1922 – November 30, 2015), also known as Shigeru Mizuki (水木 しげる, Mizuki Shigeru), was a Japanese manga artist and historian. He was known for his yōkai manga such as GeGeGe no Kitarō and Akuma-kun, as well as for his war stories based on his own war manga such as Shōwa-shi.
He was born in Osaka, grew up in Sakaiminato, Tottori, then moved to Chōfu, Tokyo, where he remained until his death. His pen-name, Mizuki, comes from the time when he managed an inn called 'Mizuki Manor' while he drew pictures for kamishibai.

2022-Kazuki Takahashi
Kazuo Takahashi (Japanese: 高橋 一雅, Hepburn: Takahashi Kazuo, October 4, 1961 – July 4, 2022), known professionally as Kazuki Takahashi (高橋 和希, Takahashi Kazuki), was a Japanese manga artist. He made his serial manga debut in 1986, and is best known as the author of Yu-Gi-Oh!, published in Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1996 to 2004. The manga spawned a popular trading card game of the same name, which holds the Guinness World Record for the best-selling trading card game to date.
On July 6, 2022, Takahashi was found dead in the water 300 meters (980 ft) off the shore of Nago, Okinawa, by Japan Coast Guard officers following a civilian report from a passing boat.[17] He was found wearing snorkeling gear, and his cause of death was determined to be drowning.[18][19]
It was subsequently reported, first in the American military newspaper Stars and Stripes on October 11, that Takahashi had died in the afternoon of July 4 while assisting in the rescue of three others who were caught in a rip current.

Tokiwa-so(prose poetry)
On May △, NHK news was talking about "Tokiwaso in China". This Tokiwa-so (Tokiwa-housing complex) was a lodging house for some of Japan's leading manga artists, and was famous for producing amazing manga artists through friendly rivalry. It seems that China is also aiming for this and is turning high-rise buildings into training grounds for manga artists, but from the point of view of me, who came from a manga club, it seemed that they were only imitating Japanese manga.
トキワ荘(散文詩)
5月△日 NHKのニュースで、「中国のトキワ荘」の話題をやっていた。このトキワ荘というのは、後に日本を代表する漫画家たちが下宿していて、切磋琢磨してスゴイ漫画家を輩出して有名なアパート。これを中国も狙って、高層ビルを漫画家の修行の場にしているようでしたが、マンガクラブ出身の私が見るに、日本のマ��ガの模倣という域を出ていないように見えました。
