Biographical Text
<p>Kazuo Umezu (楳図かずお, 1936–2024) was a Japanese manga artist, musician, and public figure widely regarded as the founding father of horror manga. Born in Wakayama Prefecture and raised in the mountains of Nara, he debuted in 1955 while still in high school. Like many others in his generation, Umezu was inspired by Osamu Tezuka's 1947 work "Shin Takarajima" (新宝島) as a child, even though he would later criticize Tezuka's view of a bright future. Umezu would instead forge his own path, and set himself apart from Tezuka by going in the opposite direction: with stories that are often dark and horrific, though sometimes with comedic instances. After moving to Tokyo in 1962, he developed the visual language of "fear manga" (<em>kyōfu manga</em>) - a term he coined - combining grotesque imagery drawn from Japanese folklore with psychological dread. Throughout the 1960s, especially in <i>shōjo</i> magazines, he became known for his combination of gruesome imagery largely inspired by Japanese folktalkes with the manga industry at the time, becoming known as the Godfather of Horror Manga.</p>
<p><a href="https://lis5472.cci.fsu.edu/sp26/group6/items/show/22" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Junji Ito</a>, Toru Yamazaki and Minetarō Mochizuki have cited him as an influence. His career spanned four decades and dozens of series, from the post-apocalyptic <em>The Drifting Classroom</em> to the comic <em>Makoto-chan</em> to the science-fiction epic <em>Fourteen</em>.Tendinitis forced his retirement from serialization in 1995. He received the Heritage Award at the 2018 Angoulême International Comics Festival.</p>
