Mitsuteru Yokoyama (1934–2004) was a Japanese manga artist from Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture. He made his professional debut in 1955 with the rental manga "Oto Nashi no Ken" and established his reputation with "Tetsujin 28-go," serialized from the following year. He subsequently worked across numerous genres, creating the ninja manga "Iga no Kagemaru," the magical-girl series "Mahōtsukai Sally," and the science-fiction adventure "Babel II." His representative work, "Sangokushi," is a sixty-volume historical epic covering events from the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the late Han dynasty to Zhuge Liang’s final campaign at the Wuzhang Plains. Winner of an Excellence Award from the Japan Cartoonists Association in 1991, the series organizes a vast cast and complex succession of wars, alliances, political maneuvers, and betrayals into an accessible account of China’s Three Kingdoms era.
