Fujio Akatsuka was a pioneer Japanese artist of comical manga known as the Gag Manga King.
He started his career as a shoujo artist, but in 1958, his Nama-chan became a hit, so he became a specialist in comedy manga. He won the Shogakukan Manga Award in 1964 for Osomatsu-kun and the Bungeishunjuu Manga Award in 1971 for Tensai Bakabon.
