つりたくにこ
A Japanese mangaka. She got into manga through works of Shigeru Mizuki, Sanpei Shirato, Hiroshi Hirata, Takao Saito and began drawing on her own. She debuted as a manga artist in 1965 through her work "Hitobito no Maisou/ Kamigami no Hanashi" published in Garo and became Garo's first female artist. She completed her high school and moved to Tokyo. In Tokyo, she started drawing shoujo manga under the name Hazama Kuniko (はざまくにこ) at Kodansha and Wakagi Shobo.
