Fujiko Fujio

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fujiko Fujio ( Japanese 藤子 不二 雄 , Fujiko Fujio ) was the name of a mangaka duo who became internationally known with the manga Doraemon . It consisted of the draftsman Hiroshi Fujimoto ( 藤 本 弘 , Fujimoto Hiroshi ; * December 1, 1933 in Toyama Prefecture ; † September 23, 1996 ) and Motoo Abiko ( 安 孫子 素 雄 , Abiko Motoo ; * March 10, 1934 in Toyama Prefecture ).

Career

Both met at school and published their first manga together, Tenshi no Tama-chan , in 1952 . They were enthusiastic about the works of Osamu Tezuka , but were also influenced by Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs . After completing their studies in 1952, both initially took up employment in industry before moving to Tokyo in 1954 to devote themselves full-time to drawing. They published more manga in magazines and gained popularity.

Hiroshi and Motoo founded the animation studio Studio Zero in the early 1960s together with Shin'ichi Suzuki ( 鈴木 伸 一 ), Shōtarō Ishinomori , Jirō Tsunoda , Kiyoichi Tsunoda and another employee. Fujio Akatsuka later joined . The studio employed up to 80 people at times and produced anime series based on the works of Fujiko Fujio and others. During this time both artists brought out other manga.

Fujimoto Hiroshi began working on Doraemon in 1970 and subsequently focused on manga series for children. Although Doraemon did not attract much attention at first, the character became known throughout Japan with the broadcast of an associated anime series from 1973. Motoo Abiko wrote Black Salesman (later renamed Warau Salesman ) and the autobiographical work Manga-michi during this time . Motoo Abiko's target group was young adults.

The two artists separated in 1987 and have since published their works under their own names. Fujimoto Hiroshi called himself Fujiko F. Fujio ( 藤子 ・ Ｆ ・ 不二 雄 ) and Motoo Abiko chose the name Fujiko Fujio A ( 藤子 不二 雄 Ⓐ ). Fujiko F. Fujio devoted himself mainly to Doraemon until his death in 1996 , while Fujiko Fujio A created other manga of his genre.
