Kotobuki Shiriagari (しりあがり 寿 Shiriagari Kotobuki) is a Japanese manga artist and actor from Shizuoka, Japan, known for dark humor and his social criticism.[1] In early 1981 after graduating from Tama Art University he began to work in the field of advertising as an illustrator at Kirin Brewery Company. He maintained his regular day job along with his manga work until 1994.[2] His first manga series is Ereki na Haru, a manga strip launched in 1985.[3] He has been teaching at the School of Progressive Arts in Kobe Design University since 2006.
Known for his gag manga, he keeps his humor close to the dramatic aspects of life. "I always have the choice of telling it with laughter," said Kotobuki Shiriagari in an interview about his storytelling.[4] His series appears regularly in Comic Beam and experimental Magazine AX.
