He is best known for several baseball manga, such as Yaky\u016b-ky\u014d no Uta, Dokaben, and Abu-san. He is a two-time recipient of the Shogakukan Manga Award. His works have been collected into more than 540 tank\u014dbon volumes, making him one of the most prolific manga artists of all time.Table of ContentsBiography[edit]List of major works[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Biography[edit]Mizushima began his career in 1958 when his debut work, Shinya no Kyaku, was awarded by a local manga magazine based in Osaka. He moved to Tokyo in 1964, where he began to publish numerous works for the Sh\u014dnen King magazine. His first serious work involving baseball came in 1969, when he published Ace no Jy\u014dken. He also began to work for the Sh\u014dnen Sunday and Sh\u014dnen Champion magazines in 1970, where he published his first major hits in Otoko do Ahou K\u014dshien and Zenikko. His most iconic work, Dokaben, was first serialized on Sh\u014dnen Champion in 1972, and Yaky\u016b-ky\u014d no Uta was published in Monthly Sh\u014dnen Magazine the same year. Abu-san began publication on Big Comic Original in 1973. He received the Shogakukan Manga Award in 1974 for Otoko do Ahou K\u014dshien and Deba to Bat, and again in 1977 for Abu-san.[1]Mizushima’s serialized works gained major standing around this period, making him a fixture in the manga industry and the foremost author of baseball manga. In 1975, he published Ikkyu-san; the continuation to Otoko do Ahou K\u014dshien, for Sh\u014dnen Sunday and Ky\u016bd\u014d-kun for Sh\u014dnen Big Comic in 1976. In 1977, he started Ikky\u016b Ny\u016bkon, a magazine specializing in baseball manga, where he serialized Hakky\u016b no Uta, the counterpart to Yaky\u016b-ky\u014d no Uta set in the Pacific League. In 1981, he began publication of Hikari no Kojir\u014d; an audacious work featuring an entirely original Japanese baseball league and commission.In 1983, Mizushima published Dai K\u014dshien; a work featuring characters from Dokaben, Yaky\u016b-ky\u014d no Uta, Otoko do Ahou K\u014dshien, Ikky\u016b-san, Ky\u016bd\u014d-kun, and many of the other popular high-school baseball manga he had authored up until then. Mizushima continued to author numerous works through the 1980s, most notably Niji wo Yobu Otoko (1987) and Ohay\u014d K-jir\u014d (1990).During the 1990s, Mizushima began to build on his most successful works, starting Dokaben Pro-yaky\u016b hen in 1995 on the Sh\u014dnen Champion magazine, and Yaky\u016b-ky\u014d no Uta Heisei hen in 1997 for Mister Magazine. Mizushima continued this trend with Shin Yaky\u016b-ky\u014d no Uta (2000) and Dokaben Super Stars hen (2004), and has also continued to author Abu-san, which has spanned over 90 volumes since its inception in 1973. In 2004, Mizushima auctioned off the right to appear as a character in Abu-san for over 3 million yen as a fundraiser for Mangajapan.[2]Mizushima marked his 50th anniversary as a manga artist in 2007, and Sh\u014dnen Champion placed Dokaben on its front cover along with messages and illustrations from many other manga artists such as Osamu Akimoto, Takao Saito, Mitsuru Adachi, Takehiko Inoue, Rumiko Takahashi, Fujiko Fujio, and Hiroshi Takahashi to celebrate Mizushima’s achievements. Other enthusiasts and baseball icons including Sadaharu Oh, Shigeo Nagashima, Takeshi Kitano, Hideki Matsui, and Kenji Jojima also contributed messages. Mizushima remained the oldest active manga artist to serialize on weekly publications, 13 years older than the next-youngest artist (Osamu Akimoto).In 2007, he won the 36th Japan Cartoonists Association Award in the category “Literary Giant Award”.[3]Mizushima announced his retirement on December 1, 2020.[4][5] His last manga was an Abu-san one-shot published in August 2018.[5] Mizushima died from pneumonia in a Tokyo hospital on January 10, 2022, at the age of 82.[5]Mizushima is known as an avid Hawks fan, and the title character of Abu-san spends his entire career playing for the Nankai Hawks team. Mizushima depicts real baseball players, coaches, and managers in many of his manga, and the events taking place within his manga often mirror those of the real Japanese baseball world, with his fictitious characters interacting with real existing players. However, non-Japanese baseball players ceased to appear in his works authored during or after the 1990s (with notable exceptions such as Rodney Pedraza and Bobby Valentine, who make very brief appearances), after a non-Japanese player’s agent demanded payment for using his client’s name and image without permission. Because a single game can sometimes take months of serializations to complete, in certain scenes, Mizushima unknowingly changes the batting order and handedness of less important players. Another staple error in Mizushima’s manga is consistency in the type of batting helmet used (the helmet covers the left ear for right-handed hitters, and the right ear of left-handed hitters).List of major works[edit]Listed alphabetically except for series works, which are listed chronologically.YearsNameTotal number of volumes1974\u20132015Abu-san (\u3042\u3076\u3055\u3093)1072009Abu-san no Yakyuu Jinsei (\u3042\u3076\u3055\u3093\u306e\u91ce\u7403\u4eba\u751f\u2010\u516856\u7ae0)21974Alps-kun (\u30a2\u30eb\u30d7\u30b9\u304f\u3093)21983Dantotsu (\u30c0\u30f3\u30c8\u30c4)71972\u20131981Dokaben (\u30c9\u30ab\u30d9\u30f3)481983\u20131987Dai-K\u014dshien (\u5927\u7532\u5b50\u5712)261995\u20132004Dokaben Pro-yaky\u016b hen (\u30c9\u30ab\u30d9\u30f3 \u30d7\u30ed\u91ce\u7403\u7de8)522004\u20132012Dokaben Super Stars hen (\u30c9\u30ab\u30d9\u30f3 \u30b9\u30fc\u30d1\u30fc\u30b9\u30bf\u30fc\u30ba\u7de8)452012\u20132018Dokaben Dream Tournament hen (\u30c9\u30ab\u30d9\u30f3 \u30c9\u30ea\u30fc\u30e0\u30c8\u30fc\u30ca\u30e1\u30f3\u30c8\u7de8)342012Dokaben Dream Tournament hen Bekkan (\u30c9\u30ab\u30d9\u30f3 \u30c9\u30ea\u30fc\u30e0\u30c8\u30fc\u30ca\u30e1\u30f3\u30c8\u7de8 \u5225\u5dfb \u5c71\u7530\u592a\u90ce\u306b\u6311\u3080\u540d\u9078\u624b\u5091\u4f5c\u9078)11993Ganbare Drinkers (\u304c\u3093\u3070\u308c\u30c9\u30ea\u30f3\u30ab\u30fc\u30ba)21984\u20131986Gokud\u014d-kun (\u6975\u9053\u304f\u3093)141958Hakky\u016b no Uta (\u767d\u7403\u306e\u8a69)91981\u20131984Hikari no Kojir\u014d (\u5149\u306e\u5c0f\u6b21\u90ce)191946Hoero Waka Tora (\u307b\u3048\u308d\u82e5\u30c8\u30e9)21992I Love Baseball11976Ikky\u016b-san (\u4e00\u7403\u3055\u3093)141974Itadaki Yasub\u0113 (\u3044\u305f\u3060\u304d\u30e4\u30b9\u30d9\u30a8)32009\u2013\u00a0?Kaa-chan no K\u014dshien \u2013 Taiy\u014d no Seishun01977\u20131981Ky\u016bd\u014d-kun (\u7403\u9053)192008\u2013\u00a0?Naite Tamaruka01987\u20131989Niji wo Yobu Otoko (\u8679\u3092\u547c\u3076\u7537)101989\u20131995Ohay\u014d K-jir\u014d (\u304a\u306f\u3088\u3046K\u30b8\u30ed\u30fc)291970\u20131975Otoko do Ahou K\u014dshien (\u7537\u3069\u30a2\u30db\u30a6\u7532\u5b50\u5712)281988Stopper (\u30b9\u30c8\u30c3\u30d1\u30fc)121975Yaky\u016b Taish\u014d Gen-chan (\u91ce\u7403\u5927\u5c06\u30b2\u30f3\u3061\u3083\u3093)31973Yaky\u016b-ky\u014d no Uta (\u91ce\u7403\u72c2\u306e\u8a69)171998‘Yaky\u016b-ky\u014d no Uta Heisei hen (\u91ce\u7403\u72c2\u306e\u8a69\u5e73\u6210\u7de8)32000Shin Yaky\u016b-ky\u014d no Uta (\u65b0\u30fb\u3084\u304d\u3085\u3046\u304d\u3087\u3046\u306e\u3046\u305f)122006Yaky\u016b-ky\u014d no Uta VS.
