Shigeru Mizuki (?? ???, Mizuki Shigeru, March 8, 1922 – November 30, 2015) was a Japanese manga artist and historian, best known for his manga series GeGeGe no Kitaro.
Born in a hospital in Osaka and raised in the city of Sakaiminato, Tottori, he later moved to Chofu, Tokyo where he remained until his death.
His pen-name, Mizuki, comes from the time when he managed an inn called 'Mizuki Manor' while he drew pictures for kamishibai.
A specialist in stories of Yokai (traditional Japanese monsters, ghouls, and goblins), he is considered a master of the genre.
Mizuki was also a noted historian, publishing works relating to world history, Japanese history, and his own World War II experience.
