Art tends to overshadow its creators. It’s a somewhat universal rule that applies to many entertainment industries, including manga. Some mangaka may have cult followings among their readers, but the vast majority of people who engage with their work may never know the person behind the story. That type of anonymity suits Jujutsu Kaisen’s mangaka Gege Akutami just fine, apparently.Even for a popular mangaka, shockingly little is known about Akutami. For starters, “Gege Akutami” is not even their real name — it’s just a pen name. Akutami’s manga credits include Jujutsu Kaisen, along with several other Shonen Jump one-shots, such as Kamishiro Sousa and Nikai Bongai Barabarujura, neither of which are currently available in English.Gege Akutami was born in the Tohoku region of Honshu, Japan, in Iwate Prefecture in 1992. Currently in their early thirties, Akutami has been a manga artist since 2014, meaning they got their start when they were just 22 years old. At that time, they were an assistant to Kiss x Death’s artist, Yasuhiro Kano, but they published their very own first work, “Kamishiro Sosa” in Jump NEXT! After publishing a handful of one-shots from 2014-2017, Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump.RELATED: Jujutsu Kaisen Key Art Unites Gojo and Geto
