Biographical Text
<p>Known as the "Queen of Horror Manga", Kanako Inuki (犬木加奈子) is a Japanese manga artist born in Hokkaidō in 1958. She made her debut in 1987 with the short story <em>Orusuban (おるすばん)</em> (literally "House-sitting"), published in a special edition of <em>Shōjo Friend</em> compiled by <a href="https://lis5472.cci.fsu.edu/sp26/group6/items/show/21" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kazuo Umezu.</a></p>
<p>She became a central figure in the 1990s horror manga boom, publishing in magazines including <em>Suspiria</em>, <em>Horror House</em>, and <em>Suspense & Horror</em>. She has named Kazuo Umezu and Hideshi Hino among her influences.</p>
<p>Her work often blends folklore, dark irony, and psychological menace, with a recurring focus on girls and women as both victims and perpetrators of cruelty. Her series <em>School Zone</em> and <em>Presents</em> were published in English in the 2000s, and a new English collection introduced her work to a new generation of readers in 2022.</p>
