Tatsuki Fujimoto (Japanese: 藤本 タツキ, Hepburn: Fujimoto Tatsuki; born October 10, 1992, or 1993) is a Japanese manga artist, known for his works Fire Punch and Chainsaw Man.

Early life

Fujimoto was born on October 10, 1992, or 1993, in Nikaho, Akita Prefecture, Japan. He started drawing at an early age. He had no preparatory schools available near his home, so he went to painting classes in which his grandparents attended and practiced oil painting. He graduated in Western painting from Tohoku University of Art and Design in Yamagata, Yamagata Prefecture in 2014.

Career

In 2011, Fujimoto drew his first submitted one-shot work, A Couple Clucking Chickens Were Still Kickin' in the Schoolyard (庭には二羽ニワトリがいた, Niwa ni wa Niwa Niwatori ga ita), which was nominated for the December Jump SQ.
