Illustrated Takakura-kun ni wa Muzukashii (高倉くんには難しい) 1-2, written by Masahide Ichijou (一條マサヒデ) and at least partially serialized in Mystery Bonita (ミステリーボニータ). Has apparently also worked under the name Sabu (サブ).
Fantasy author who also wrote the story for Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers (デビルサマナー ソウルハッカーズ) and Jewelry File: Shizuka no Ishi (ジュエリーファイル 静かの石), both drawn by Kazumi Takazawa (高沢和巳).
A remarkably prolific romance comics artist, Sasaki has also released two horror titles. Mugen Yasou (夢幻夜想) was first published by Kosaido Publishing (廣済堂出版) under Solitaire Comics (ソリティアコミックス), then by Tairiku Shobo (大陸書房) under Horror House Comics (ホラーハウスコミックス), and finally in an electronic version by Ai Kuri Henshuubu* (あいクリ編集部). Fairy Park* (フェアリーパーク) was put out by Gakushuu Kenkyuu Sha* (学習研究社) under Pichi Comics - Mystery Deluxe (ピチコミックス・ ミステリーデラックス).
This appears to be a fairly common name in Japan, making it difficult to find information about any one individual. So far as I know, this Satou bears no relation to the famous violinist, for example, or to the animator. But an artist of this name released two titles under Kodansha Comics - Roman Mystery (講談社コミックス・ ロマンミステリー): Kuroi Kodama (黒い木霊) and Kuro no Mission (黒の伝道).
Tetsurou Sayama (佐山哲郎)
Wrote the story for Tarantula no Kuchizuke (タランチュラのくちづけ), drawn by Ryoko Takashina (高階良子).
Although he seems to be primarily an SF writer, Sena wrote the horror novel Parasite Eve, which was made into a movie and a video game of the same name. The movie was then made into a girls’ horror comic by Shikakuno (しかくの), and the game into another by Noriko Fuziki (藤貴紀子).
Buddhist monk and psychic who was the source for Takakazu Nagakubo (永久保貴一)'s "true horror" title Ajari Souun: Reigen Kaii Shimatsu* (阿闍梨蒼雲 霊幻怪異始末). The transliteration of his name is only a slightly educated guess.
English author whose Frankenstein is generally considered the first horror novel. Frankenstein was adapted into a girls’ horror comic by Junji Ito (伊藤潤二).
Although the artist herself often writes her family name as "Sheena," the offiicial romanization from copyright statements on her own pages still appears to be "Shiina."
Shimizu appears to have only released one title, and that title may be mystery in the Western sense rather than the Eastern. Her adaptation of Jirou Akagawa (赤川次郎)'s novel Tenshi to Akuma (天使と悪魔) was published by Kadokawa Shoten (角川書店) under Asuka Comics - Akagawa Mystery Comics Series (あすかコミックス・ アカガワミステリーコミックスシリーズ).
Takashi Shimizu (清水崇)
Creator of the Juon (呪怨) movies. Miki Rinno (凛野ミキ) has released one comic adaptation, Juon: Video Side (呪怨 ｖｉｄｅｏ ｓｉｄｅ); and MEIMU another, Juon 2 (呪怨２).
Wrote several novels illustrated by Kyoko Akizuki (秋月杏子), whose Architecture Detective Kyosuke Sakurai 1: Ido no Naka no Akuma (建築探偵桜井京介の事件簿１ 井戸の中の悪魔) is also based on her books.
Personally speaking, I can’t wholeheartedly recommend writer/artist Chie Shinohara; although she does have her moments, for the most part her works just leave me cold. But apparently there are thousands of people in various countries around the world who would disagree with me.
Although she seems to have moved entirely into adult comics, earlier in her career Shiomi created many regular titles for women as well as some for teenage girls. Dark Zone* (ダークゾーン) was published under Kodansha Comics - Roman Mystery (講談社コミックス・ ロマンミステリー).
Comics creator who has apparently also worked in the "boys’ love" genre under the name Kai Natsumi (なつみ開).
Shirai is sometimes listed in databases along with her year of birth (1971), in order to distinguish her from another author of the same name who has published several psychiatric textbooks.
Author who released stories designed to be read on cell phones. Miyuki Etoo (永遠幸)’s short work Number 1 (ナンバー１) was based on SINKA's Hakanai Yume ≠ Jigoku Shoujo* (儚夢≠地獄少女).
Author of Dracula, which was made into the comic Kyuuketsuki Dracula (吸血鬼ドラキュラ) by JET. The novel has often been referenced in other horror comics such as Dracula ga Kuru Yakata (吸血鬼がくる館) by Monsieur Tanaka (ムッシュー田中).
Horror writer whose novels were the source for the live-action movies Rasen (らせん) and the Ring series. These movies have since been made into girls’ horror comics: Rasen was drawn by Mizuki Sakura (桜水樹), The Ring by Misao Inagaki (稲垣みさお), and Ring 2 and Birthday by MEIMU.
