History

Toshio Sako with Hirohiko Araki

Born in Shimonoseki, Japan, Sako moved to Tokyo after graduating high school to pursue a career as a barber. However, at around the age of 27, he decided to follow his passion and become a manga artist. Without any prior experience in manga, Sako voluntered as an assistant to Takeshi Hinata until he had the skills to create his own series.

In 2005, Sako won an Honorable Mention in the 48th Young Jump Monthly MANGA Grand Prix for his one-shot, Usogui. In 2006, Sako began serializing Usogui in Weekly Young Jump. The manga became long-running and popular, finishing serialization in 2017 with a total of 49 volumes published. Following the success of Usogui, Sako started his next series, Batuque, which began serialization in 2018 and is still on-going.
