Biography

Taishi Zaou

Taishi Zaou is the pen name of a a manga writer and illustrator from Japan who has been writing manga since 1998.  Taishi Zaou is one of two pen names the artist uses, the other being Mikiyo Tsuda.  Under the name Taishi Zaō, she writes boys love and girls love manga while under Mikiyo Tsuda she writes comedy-shōjo manga. Her reasons for doing this mainly had to do with keeping the fact that she drew manga centered around homosexual relationships from her family but they eventually found out anyway. Many manga artists often adopt artistic personas for themselves in order to represent themselves in sections of their manga not attributed to the story, as in an author's note section. Mikiyo Tsuda's persona is that of a teddy bear wearing a red bow tie with a bell at its center.
