Gengoroh Tagame (田亀源五郎 Tagame Gengorō?) (b. 3 February 1964) is a Japanese mangaka who specializes in gay BDSM erotic manga, many of which depict graphic violence. The men he depicts are hypermasculine, and tend to be on the bearish side.

He began his career as a mangaka in 1982, while he was studying graphic design at Tama Art University (多摩美術大学). His works have been published in several Japanese gay magazines, including G-men and SM-Z.[1]

His manga Gunji (軍次) was translated into French in 2005. Tagame is openly gay.[1]
