Description
Katsumi Shimomoto already debuted in Rental Manga in 1958.
Because of his short career as a commercial manga artist, he is not so well known by the general public.
However, as a mangaka, with his own distinctive style , he influenced and befriended many manga artists such as Takao Saito, Yoshihiro Tatsumi and Shintaro Miyawaki.
In 1968 he published "Kai Danji Gori Ippei" in Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine and switched from Rental Manga to a weekly Magazine. He published in Bessatsu Magazine and Shonen King, but the size (and the pace) of the weekly publishing was not suitable for his work and he suspended his activities.
However, he remained active in the shadows of the industry and is still present at lectures and fairs
