Who is the Author?

The author is Fujiko F. Fujio.

In the middle of a quiet residential area of Kawasaki's Tama Ward, a new must-visit landmark building has opened its gates: the Doraemon Museum, officially called the Fujiko F. Fujio Museum (藤子F.不二夫ミュージアム). Fujiko F. Fujio is the pen name one of the most successful, well-known comic artists in Japanese manga history, who has given birth to many famous cartoon characters during his career. Doraemon is his signature work. The museum was opened on September 3, 2011, Doraemon's birthday, and has since its inauguration attracted throngs of visitors.

The museum, a reinforced concrete building, has three stories and a total floor area of about 3,600 square metres. Inside, original drawings of Fujiko F. Fujio's artwork are exhibited; there is a comprehensive manga library, a complete reproduction of Fujio's studio, areas where children can play, and a photo spot on the roof, where visitors can take their pictures with Fujio's most famous characters.
