Umezz (born Kazuo Umezu) was born in Koya, in the prefecture of Wakayama, on September 3, 1936. Still a student, he made his debut as a cartoonist in 1955 with the manga Mori no Kyodai. In 1962 he moved to Tokyo and specialized in the horror genre, making works of considerable success such as Hebi Shojo (1966), Cat Eyed Boy (1967) and Orochi (1969). The consecration as an authentic icon of the genre comes thanks to the disturbing Senrei (1974) and the terrifying Classroom adrift (1975), with which he obtained the first place at the 20th “Shogakukan Manga Award”. Too eclectic to limit his creativity to just the horror genre, Umezz manages to achieve considerable success even venturing into other genres, as in the case of comedy. Makoto-chan (1976) or the sci-fi drama parable I am Shingo (1982), which earned him the prestigious “Heritage Award” at the 2018 Angoulême Festival. In addition to being a cartoonist, Umezz is also a songwriter, actor, television personality and, since 2014, a director.
