explanation: Born in January 1920 in Saga prefecture. She learnt first manga from the famous mangaka before the world war II, Suiho Tagawa then began to publish in 1946 "Sazae san" on a tiny local paper, Yukan fukunichi, then relayed to a big national paper, Asahi shinbun from 1949 to 1974. Writing nearly every day for 30 years, "Sazae san" has become a part of her life though we can quote "Eperon Obasan" and "Ijiwaru Basan" (wicked grandma) as her works, too. She died in 1992.
