Read full biography

He was born in Chuo, Tokyo, Japan, but lived most of his early childhood in Shenyang, Liaoning when northeast China was colonized by Japan during the Second Sino-Japanese War. His father was working in a paper factory when they lived in China. Two of his younger brothers are manga artists: Akio Chiba and Shigeyuki Chiba (pen name Taro Nami), who is almost completely unknown outside Japan, despite writing many popular sports manga in Japan. Chiba's works include _Ashita no Joe_, his best known work, and _Notari Matsutarou_. Many of his early titles are still in print due to continued popularity.
