I think he is Azuma, not Aduma.

I've confirmed that Azuma and Aduma are the same person, but which is it, Azuma or Aduma.

The website for the Media Arts Festival calls him Aduma.

For now I've merged the two people in Azuma in the encyclopedia, but which name should we use? I'm leaning towards Azuma myself.

Hello,

This is my very first posting in ANN and I'm glad I can help tempest with some useful information:

The author's name is definitely Azuma Hideo. His name is written in english with a "z" for example on the cover of a reedition of his manga Azumania by Hayakawa Shobo.

Azuma Hideo is rather well known in Japan among manga fans for his bizarre science fiction stories of the late seventies and early eighties and he's considered to be a pioneer of rorikon manga. He's also the creator behind the Nanako S.O.S. manga which became a tv anime.

Really not suprising that it won, since the Media Arts Awards are a good indicator to the Tezuka nods and occasionally the wins. I'm really eager to read this now, though I doubt it'll ever be licenced...
