Ito first began writing and drawing manga as a hobby while working as a dental technician in the early 1990s. In 1987, he submitted a short story to Gekkan Halloween that won an honorable mention in the Kazuo Umezu Prize (with Umezu himself as one of the judges). This story was later serialized as Tomie.Ito studied and graduated from a vocational school with a degree in Dental Technology before working as a dental technician, where he worked for 3 years until he became a full-time mangaka.

Prior to his marriage to renowned monster cat artist Ayako Ishiguro, Ito had generally regarded cats with suspicion and considered them “a bit creepy.” That began to change when he and Ishiguro adopted two cats, Yon and Mu. Ito’s editor noticed that his depictions of cats had changed, deduced that Ito had acquired cats, and suggested that he create a cat-centric manga. Junji Ito’s Cat Diary: Yon & Mu, a humorous (but still satisfyingly creepy) autobiographical story about Ito’s adjustment to life as a newly minted cat minder, was published in March 2009. Thanks to the success of Cat Diary, you can head over to YouTube to watch the immensely affable Ito tell stories about his cats, react to clips of anime cats, and evaluate photos of cats he’s never met. 8.
