Tetsuya Chiba Ashita no Joe manga Japan Cartoonists Association Order of Culture

Renowned Japanese manga artist Tetsuya Chiba has passed away at the age of 87. He died on October 22 at a hospital in Tokyo, according to reports from publishers and media outlets.

Chiba was a monumental figure in the manga industry, best known for the iconic boxing series ‘Ashita no Joe’, which became a massive cultural phenomenon in postwar Japan. His diverse body of work also included sports-themed manga such as ‘Ore wa Teppei’, ‘Ashita Tenki ni Naare’, and ‘Notari Matsutaro’.

Beyond his creative output, Chiba was a significant leader in the industry, serving as the president of the Japan Cartoonists Association. He also held academic roles, including serving as the president of Bunsei University of Arts. In 2024, he became the first manga artist to be awarded the prestigious Order of Culture.

His legacy continues through the ‘Tetsuya Chiba Award’, a newcomer award established by Kodansha that has helped launch the careers of numerous successful manga artists over the past 46 years. His wife, Yukiko Chiba, served as the chief mourner for the private family funeral.
