Timeline
Machiko Satonaka (里中 満智子) is a Japanese manga artist.
Machiko Satonaka was born on 24 January 1948 in Osaka, Japan.
As a child, her elementary school banned students from reading manga such as Astro Boy because of its violent and unscientific content; her teachers even burned manga in front of her class.
She made her professional debut in 1964 during her second year of high school with the one-shot Pia no Shōzō ("Portrait of Pia").
She has since created nearly 500 manga in a variety of genres.
In 1964, during her second year of high school, Satonaka made her professional debut with the one-shot Pia no Shōzō ("Portrait of Pia"), published in Kodansha's Shōjo Friend magazine; for this, she received the inaugural Kodansha New Faces Award.
The editorial staff of Shōjo Friend subsequently advertised Satonaka as "a genius girl".
She dropped out of school against her parents' wishes and moved to Tokyo to pursue her career.
Two of her most notable works are Ashita Kagayaku ("Tomorrow Will Shine"), which won the 1974 Kodansha Publishing Culture Award, and Karyūdo no Seiza ("Constellation of the Hunter"), which won the 1982 Kodansha Manga Award.
In addition to creating manga, Satonaka teaches at the Osaka University of Arts as the head of the Character Creative Arts Department and serves on the board of various manga-related organizations in Japan.
As of 2019, Satonaka has created nearly 500 manga for both shōjo (young girls) and josei (adult women) in a variety of genres, including romantic comedies, fantasy epics, and historical dramas.
Her longest-running manga, Tenjō no Niji ("Celestial Rainbow"), depicts the life of the Japanese Empress Jitō and was serialized for more than 30 years.
Two of her works—a short story collection titled Machiko's One Thousand and One Nights and an anthology of Biblical tales titled The Old Testament—are available in English on the digital manga website Manga Reborn.
Masami Toku, a scholar and professor of art education at California State University, Chico, described Satonaka as an artist who "consistently protested against a stereotypical male view of women, which often demanded that they remain young and immature, and instead wholeheartedly affirmed women's growth and maturity."
In addition to creating manga, Satonaka serves as the head of the Osaka University of Arts Character Creative Arts Department; the director of the Japan Cartoonists Association; the director of the Manga Japan foundation; the chairperson of the Digital Manga Association; a representative of the NPO Asia Manga Summit Administering Authority; and a member of the Cabinet Secretariat of Japan Intellectual Property Strategy Headquarters.
